I wonder how all of that shiny black plastic looks after a year’s use - unless it’s protected with PPF, likely lots of scratches and swirls.

Im hopeful BMW has fixed the poor UV coat issue we saw on previous Msport cars. IN harsher climate the black not only got swirls and scrathes but also acquired a bleached somewhat violet tone to it. Not a nice look on a car thats 3-4 years old but those who lease these for 2 years like disposable company cars dont care obviously.

I want to like it but those headlights look so unappealing to me. And I like the new X5 X6 >> << design headlights. Wish they just used the exact same headlight from those.

Just think,...had the internet been available around the early 1900s,...farmers behind plows and mules would have made similar comments during the onset of gasoline powered machinery!,...and not having the ability to analyze why his neighbor with a 'tractor' made at the time was able to work his fields and crops faster and longer with 1 tractor than he could with 4 mules! Oh well...

Judging by recent models it will turn purple due to the UV because it's clearcoat on raw plastic.

It’s an electric car isn’t it; Is there an EV that’s not a pig (I’m assuming it’s pertaining to its weight).
Plenty of hp is still nice to have especially if it’s on Xdrive. Plus you need that with the weight. 😅

Looks like Oxide Grey and Dark Graphite are the stand-out signature colors for the i5 M60!

I did it with arm in sling. (well I would deny it to my doctor) but wasn't that hard. the graphic I did get help. I installed in December before I came across this video too. I wish I had lift. also I used more fasteners. I used ribbits on option areas. I wanted to make sure it was secured. especially after spend all that extra $$$

would you mind taking a couple measurements of the fender badge to help determine the exact placement and the angle it is on?
