Beautiful jet black ride...I am always a big fan of black bimmer...it is hard to keep it clean...but when it is clean...you gotta love it. :thumbup:

:iagree:.... 2 days max! A sedan is even better is has less drag to pull all unnecessary dust behind.... to some extent black can suck depending on where you live... In Africa just forget it!

I got you beat by a little (Roundels (no more chrome circumference), Rear Lower Reflectors, Rear Tails, Side Signals, Badges). You still have some work to do. :nanana: However, I do need to paint the Silver "slabs" in the front, below the fogs, black and I need to do the mesh. Is your car a 3.0 or 4.8? I know the 3.0 comes with black mesh, but the 4.8 comes with silver. I wish mine came with the black mesh that the 3.0 has.

And we both need to get our running boards done. Car looks great though. Nice to know I have a Jet Black twin. :thumbup:

Here are a few shots of mine:

Nice X C...:thumbup:

It's a 2010 30i...pics taken at Vista BMW, that's right.

As far as the exhaust tips, not sure who makes them. I just asked for a black quad look at a local shop and that's what they came up with. It looks very aggressive. Will get some closeup pics when I'm back in town.

I'm likely finished with mods...well, maybe a replacement of the tailights with the new 2011 ones...they r sick in person

I see someone got a LED reverse light.......still waiting for a night shot (hint hint....)

My body shop guy did it. Very tedious work, especially the rear roundel, since that's an odd shaped roundel compared to most of the sedan roundels. He pulled them both from the vehicle and did them away from the car. It looks awesome. It's very subtle, but those that pick up on it, when you see it in person, love it.

It's all about the little details. Now I just need to complete the job by doing the mesh and the running boards.

OP's truck needs Spacers and get rid of the chrome emblems. If youre gonna do it, DO IT

Did your car come with privacy glass? What kind of tint did you put on? What percentage?
