1 of 2 have arrived! Vermilion Red with Tobacco

[335xray]

My wife's Vermilion Red 35i Sport Activity arrived this week and we picked it up Thursday. We had the dealer switch out the summer 20"s with a set of 214 replicas with Michelin Latitude Alpin winter tires provided by Ray at Wheel Tech which looked great.

I also picked up the cotton/poly rear seat covers and the cargo liner from Pacific BMW because they had the best price. The rear seat cover fits pretty well, but it is a pain in the arse to put on. To add insult to injury, I figured out that it bleeds onto light colored fabric (my white thermal shirt) after I finished installing it, so I had to take it off and wash it and reinstall it...I got better the second time...

I finally got a chance to do my own prep to the truck today...wash with my Gilmore foam gun with DP Super Suds. Clayed the truck with Detailed Images Ultra fine clay and Poor Boys World Spray and wipe. I then sealed the paint with Blackfire sealant and treated all the plastic with Aerospace 303 and the leather with Lexol. Tires and engine bay got Meguires Hyper dressing diluted 2:1 for a nice Matte finish.

Enjoy the hastily taken pics. My X5 50i M sport gets picked up Dec 3rd in South Carolina!

PS anyone know how to get two pictures per line so the thread isn't so long?
