Looks very close to my Champagne Quartz Metallic.

It is the same paint code. They just changed the name to Alvite Grey. Or so I’ve read.

My 2020 is also CQM.

Dude, what’s up with that front plate? Our southern states don’t require those silly things. Great color Btw.

I bet that’s one of the many things you don’t miss about MA? One of the many signs that my car was owned by someone like me was that it had no front plate or holes drilled for it. The prior owner was from RI which requires front plates. I have been rolling without one since I got it.

It sucks when you buy a preowned car from another state that requires them and yours doesn’t. That what happened here I believe. You either roll around with holes, plug them or try to get a plate that blends.

What Joe said. Holes were already there. I originally thought I’d plug them eventually. I had that decorative plate from my Alma
Mater (Ole Miss) on my old Yukon and it’s not real loud and the color blends with the cerium, so it served as a temporary solution. Just never changed strategies and now I’m used to it.

Bought the car from MN but it was actually owned by BMW and driven by a BMW exec in NJ. I have no idea how the Benz dealer in MN got it, but I got a great deal on it.

That’s a circuitous route to west TN but when you find what you want it doesn’t matter. Did you ever consider those bumper plugs rather than using the plate? Maybe they look better in pictures than in person.

I did consider that. Then I just got used to the plate. We don’t require front plates but we are the heart of SEC football country. So every other car down here has an SEC school decorative plate on the front. It doesn’t look weird, I blend right in.

Yeah those dudes can spin the rock. I was in the same fraternity but I missed Eli by a year. Coincidentally, my dad was in the same fraternity and missed Archie by a year.

I’m jealous of the 668 wheels. They look great. What color interior have you got?

Oh man, I bet the Ivory looks great with CQM. They all do but that’s a nice combo. I have the black nappa.
