Finally Took Some Pics - '08 4.8

Finally did my own full detail on the CPO '08 4.8 I bought from Beverly Hills BMW 2 weeks ago (my '01 e53 3.0 was totaled Labor Day weekend).

- Jet Black/Black
- Only 16K miles (came off lease)
- Premium
- Sport with 20"s
- Multi-contour Front Seats
- Premium Sound
- Climate
- Rear DVD Entertainment
- 3rd Row Seats

- Original MSRP 2 Years ago was $75K and I got it for $48K

I had it clear bra'd and got the 2 front windows tinted here once I got it. I also bought the Tire/Wheel warranty ($1000 for 5 years (which has already paid for itself as I've replaced 2 rear tires that had screws in them) and also bought the Extended Maintenance as I know the brakes get eaten up on these. They also put 4 new run-flats on it as part of the CPO process.

FYI--I used P21s GEPC paint cleanser then topped it with P21s wax (love that stuff used it on my e53 for years).

Thanks. Although I get all my concours detail stuff from online places like Autogeek and Autopia I usually just get wheel cleaner at Autozone, etc. I use Black Magic foam for the tires and always liked their products--so just picked up their new wheel cleaner that is pH balanced so it's pretty safe called Foaming All Wheel Cleaner (and I have a terry cloth tool/brush thing that I use on the wheels before I rinse the wheel off). And for the black lower trim, etc I use Armor All Extreme Shine--used that on my old '01 black e53 for years.

Also, that license plate is one of the specialty plates we can get here--it's the black vintage edition from some time era I'm not familiar with probably ha.

For wash I use Einszett Perls and after-wash detail spray is Sonus Carnauba Spritz (works optimally over a carnauba wax like p21s--won't work well or as much over a non-carnauba wax). Not much correction--I did take it in before I detailed it to have someone clay bar it.
