Absolutely beautiful car and you have a right to be proud of it. Did you get privacy glass and are you happy with the amound of tinting? Are you concerned about wheel damage using the 19" wheels (hitting ruts etc)? What does the trunk finisher do for the car? I can't tell. I am torn between the dark gray and a white for exterior. How were you able to decide and pull the trigger? Congrats.
J , as for color selection I've had black and dark cars almost exclusively for the last 20 years. I started noticing white cars about 2 or 3 years ago, and after my last black 540 and all the washing etc I decided to go white with the new car ( my X5 is Titanium Silver, my 2nd favorite BMW color now ) As for 19''wheels , I've had several sets now and have never had a bad problem with ruts (I've curbed 2 sets, $125ea to repair so not too bad for the pleasure I guess) And the...... Trunk Finisher, well ............. it won't fit so it's definitely FOR SALE , the ///M Trunk Spoiler works great ! Finally tint, my car is absolutely tint free, and no factory privacy glass is available here . I think the white just make the glass look darker

Thanks for the compliments !!

Cheers

Hey Guys , thanks for all your patience on the pics, I just loaded 12 images onto an album in my "Profile" page........... hope you like them .I'll get some more done later , in the meantime ...............Cheers
Are your 166's ET28 on the rear? If not are you using spacers? Car looks great, ride height is perfect (I assume your on stock suspension).

Fine looking pix in your Gallery, Keith. Thanks for posting them so quickly. As you know from my PM, I am very happy for you and your new ride is supurb....and the 166s really do suit that car.

I suspect you will make at least 5 trips to the garage tonight just to be sure you are not dreaming.

Enjoy, my friend.
