Default Thoughts On Full Body Wrap?

Thinking about wrapping my 530i having a hard time deciding what colour as I love the white so much... Does anyone have their 5 series wrapped if so what colour? If not what colours do you think look good on the 5?

Yes full body wrap is a great idea. Go with seaweed, and be sure to cut some breather holes.

cheers,

Kyle

You might also consider plasti-dip. Sounds ghetto if you haven't seen it, but check out this site: https://www.dipyourcar.com/home.php

You can get a whole DIY kit with sprayer and plenty of plasti-dip to coat your car in all kinds of colors (gloss, matte, pearl) for less than $400. If I ever get bored with my car's paint, this is the route I'm going to take.

Expensive, but I've always been a fan of the brushed aluminum wrap look.

Just pick a color. In the end you will need to be the one who likes it. I personally would do a satin white pearl wrap.

Looks to me like that girl's ass is all you need to be wrapped with

I might be old fashioned but I still think there's nothing like a good paint job. The thing with wraps is that if its not done PERFECTLY, it comes out looking incredibly ghetto. I know they are supposedly cheaper than paint but a quality wrap job from a reputable shop has been known to cost over $2,000. PLUS I heard you cannot wax the car and it's only really made to last 3 years max.

I vote on a nice custom color paint (not offered by BMW)
but if you DO decide to wrap it, I vote for a satin color.
