Car bras are a bad idea if you want to protect your paint.

They actually cause scratches, trap dirt and cause uneven wear and fading.


If you are worried about paint chips, you have 2 options.

1. Don't follow anyone closely on the roads. Rocks get kicked up, and if you are riding someone too close, you'll get chipped.

2. Clear bra.

... besides:

they ruin the beautiful look of the car and make it ugly.

Clear bra only, if you want one.

Colgan's E60 bras do not fit the M5 or 550. Both the V10 abd V8s require changes to the engine compartment that are not compatible with the Colgan Bra. They know that and will return you money. Why Bravaria Autosport does not tell its consumers is beyond me considering Colgan tewlls them NOT to sell to M5 of 500 owners.

Good luck
