Thank you very much for your kind words. In order to maintain the coating, I'm washing the car personally using BMW's matte finish shampoo applied with a lamb's wool mitt (two bucket system), dried with allegedly lint-free cotton towels and a chammy (pain in the neck but the results are worth it).

I love seeing the different hues the coating gives under different lighting conditions. I've just received (literally, while writing this response) my Vorsteiner diffuser which will be installed along with a Schnitzer quad-tip exhaust system. I'll post some updated pics when they're done.

Only outstanding thing for me is 20" wheels, but I've been hit by the shortage of Michelin PSS tires in the size i'm looking for. That being said, the OEM 19" ones are not that bad.

Thank you very much.

The wheels are powdercoated black. My Bimmer dealer had them painted as part of my deal for the car (it was part of the overall price).

That being said, I believe plastidip is pretty cheap and easy to apply yourself. There're some videos on youtube and threads in this forum on the subject.

y barik feek. Thank you very much. I'm really happy with the way it's turned out. I kind of hope more people here will be encouraged to place orders for their own personalized cars. It'll make for more interesting streets.
