Carbon black F11 in hi gloss or aluminum?

Hi guys. Newbie here but have been lurking for a while. Congrats on this great forum!

I have been struggling between the choice of ordering a Carbon Black 535i F11 in hi-gloss black or aluminum satinated? The pictures of hi-gloss CB F11s on here generally look better than the aluminum versions, but I was wondering how much of that is due to the photography skills of the respective owners

. I especially like the pics posted by Touring of his blacked-out F11! That is one hot looking car!

Without actually having seen one, as mine will likely only be the second F11 in Malaysia, I would have thought that the aluminum version will show up the distinctive elongated look of the F11 better than the hi-gloss black. Unfortunately, I have not seen many pictures of CB F11's in aluminum satinated trim.

Anyone got a nice pic of a CB F11 in aluminum taken in the day, so I can get some sleep instead of surfing every night for justification of my decision?

Cheers
Raymond

That's exactly what I was looking for. Thanks. Can't say it has made my decision any easier. I might still follow you and change the specs to hi gloss black as even these good quality photos don't look as good as yours. Plus, black lends itself better to customizing later on.

Will be getting the M-pack, 18-in, navi pro, ventilated comfort seats, hifi pro, sunroof, active drive, ias, roof rails and auto tailgate.

Cheers.
