Are you thinking of this for the X5M?

No, I am thinking of doing it on my current X5. I may do something similar to my X5 M, but only time will tell. Here is what the car should look like if I go through with it:

That matte steel grey does look better than the black to me! Kinda looks like bead blasted aluminum.

I was wondering what a Space Gray would look like in matte. I think I'd need to see it in person to make a final judgement.
