I used to have 20" satin bronze wheels on mine. The colour was actually a Mercedes AMG colour called Performance Satin Bronze.

thanks for the pics

how did you like it in the longer term? i find it distracts from the nice car paint.

my other option is gunmetal grey (glossy). it's not black, but it's kind of darker than i'd like it but the wheel supplier doesn't have a light shade. the next lightest is a bright silver.

Thought I’d post some of mine ! Pre LCI, but it has the LCI idrive 7 as it’s a late 2019 build registered early 2020.

Rear lights are aftermarket, OEM diffuser painted gloss black. OEM black 19s, black trims and gen black grills.

Crazy how much of a difference the LCI tails make. Will be my first mod when I pick up my bluestone G30 on Saturday

My new (to me) baby. 2017 540i Luxury Line with 40k miles. She stayed stock for about a week...going for an OEM+ style "build".

Mods so far:
- replaced chrome trim around fog lights with black
- IND painted reflectors
- 20" wheels with fresh non-RFT tires

To come:
- eBay LCI tails
- m5 style trunk lip spoiler in bluestone
- catted dp, quad tips
- potentially a tune and/or Dinan springs

Here's my latest Bluestone pic...

We're home now and the road trip was 1 mile shy of 6K miles (in 12 days!). I've driven more in the last 12 days than the last 9 months combined!! After all the polishing I did to the car so we could start out with a clean car, we didn't make it 20 miles from home before it started to rain . My poor car was very dirty the entire trip!

My recent addition, a 2019 Bluestone 530i. Other than a Weistec tune and some 19x9 wheels with 255-40-19 DWS06+ tires, it's pretty stock. I love how the color changes depending on the time of day. Plus I ended up with a similar look of my old 535i from a long time ago...back when I was young, handsome, and thinner.
