As for the getting that paint finish on the Xs, I guess I should clarify that it would be nice if it came from the factory as opposed to having it done at a paint shop. And I can't imagine it being harder to keep clean than piano black gloss they're offering for the X6 M.
Thanks for the link. There are some really nice cars on there.  |
It would be nice to have matte finishes from the factory. Here in Dubai, BMW paints the car from a BMW approved company that offers matte colors and two-tone colors. The FoilaCar is more of a temporary solution.
As for the piano black, it is not an exterior color, but a interior trim. Range Rover has had it for a while.
Matte Black is hard to maintain especially in sandy areas because it attract dirt and sand a lot.
