hello Guys,

Wanted to hear your opinion on which color is better? I got the original silver color, but i use to it and time for change.
First i thought to buy new wheels/ black, then i would go for 19inch looks much better with M package (now i run on 18inch).
This wasn't going to happen, due to reason of getting new tyres again, and i just bought new set of michelin tyres M+S...

anyway, i found this interesting color and rally liked the outcome! What are your thoughts?

he means black gloss but with those wheels, which look sort of grey, i think your chrome grill looks very good.

mine are gloss black but I went with darker wheels, the oem e90 m3 wheel, style 260 in ferric grey, 18"x8.5"
