Planning to purchase carbon black 530i and wrap it in alpine white and roof black.
any thoughts on whether to leave roof original carbon black or get it wrapped in CF or gloss black? What would suit this car more.

Before you ask, I'm in uk and extremely hard to find alpine white 530i

you are right. White E60's are super rare in the UK.
If you do a white wrap I would do the roof cf, or first leave it white and maybe you will think thats enough?
Black front splitters would be nice.

There is an all white e60 in my neighbourhood and it does look stunning but I want to bit little individual with and I've seen a couple white e90 and e60 with black roof over in US and really fancied that. The trend hasn't quite picked up in uk.

While you're there, what exhaust is that? And did you have to replace the diffuser or just cut in existing one? Looking for quad exhaust too

I've been thinking of doing a carbon wrap myself on the roof. I'm on the fence about it leaning towards not doing it.

Yeah if you did it with a dark roof it would stand out amongst the rest in the uk.

My diffuser is a twin exit from CA automotive in the uk. The exhaust is custom built with a different silencer with a section of pipe to the other side. The tips are from a company in Belgium i think called Skytune. they have a lot of choice.

I think AW with a black roof looks so nice. Here are pictures of M5 (CF), 550i (Gloss Black) - work/pictures of Don.

I think Gloss Black looks good.
