Matte Black X5

Im thinking about wrapping my car with matte black vinyl. Has this been done to an X5 before? What do you guys think about this?

Thanks Ben

If you have the money, get a new X5 and have BMW paint it in frozen gray.

Do you know how much BMW would charge to paint a X5 in frozen gray?

Do you think they would do a frozen gray X5 ///M?

Anywhere between $2500 to $5000 to paint it. They charge more as certain parts are done by hand instead of robots/machines. The M5 above is not offered in frozen gray but the guy got it. If they can do on M5 why not X5 M. I have seen things happening with BMW. It depends on how the dealer presents to BMW NA and your relationship with dealer.

Personally I don't like the matte black. I think its too bland. I like the shine of paint when you see it shine in the sun light
