Arrow Official Aventurine Red Metallic Thread

I figured that now I'm tinted and coated, I'd fire up this new thread. I drooled when I picked her up. Enjoy!

2021 BMW M550i with CF mirror caps, spoiler, roundels, and center caps. 20% ceramic tint, ceramic coating.

Aventurin Red is an absolutely fabulous BMW Individual color! For 2021 M550i, I went with Tanzanite Blue II Metallic. I'm just a sucker for blue cars. I guess you could say that Those 2 colors are M550i Individual rivals since those are the only 2 colors you can get on the M550i. Aventurin Red has got to be one of the best red colors that BMW makes, though. Looks great!

I really wanted the blue or red. I'm too damn boring so I went with Dark Graphite! Haha

Nice looks great! How do you like the CF pieces? A fan or not? If a fan are you thinking of trying to pickup a CF diffuser and front splitter etc?

I'm gonna nit pick your hanging wire from the radar detector though. Hardwire that MFer! Get that cable hidden. 😎

I really like them. I think it fits the current color scheme, but adds some complexity to it.

hardwire is coming soon. Possibly other mods as well. I’m limited only by scheduling with the places. If up to me, everything would be done already!

Private message me a picture, I'd love to see it! Did you look at Bernina Grey? That is a subtle looking and very clean looking color. I almost went with Bernina Grey but ended up falling in love with Tanzanite Blue on the 2021 M550i! A friend of mine has a 2019 Dark Graphine 540i, and it is no doubt a great looking color. Super shiny in the sun. I love that it stays shiny in the dark as well.

I did look at Bernina. I like the color, but something is missing for me. I think those flat cement colors should be on crazier cars. The standard 5 series is too classic.

My thread is in the ordering sub section. Title is dark graphite or something.

Honestly, hard wire can be done yourself. I did my R7 with a blend mount and some wiring stuff from Amazon and Advanced Auto, and other than routing the cable neatly, which took 10 minutes, the actual fuse tap, stripping and crimping, and installing the ground took another 10ish.

Happy to help you with the guide and walk you through it in a bit more detail - super easy on the 5 series

Picked my G31 530d XDrive up two weeks ago, on Friday 22nd Jan. It’s the first G31 I’ve seen in Aventurine Red, and I absolutely love it. The colour changes so much in different lights! Also went for a Mocha interior which seems to be a rare colour, in the UK at least.

Thanks Beerflakes ! Waited long enough for it, but it was worth it. Just need lockdown to be lifted then I can get some decent mileage in.

Followed your build from the beginning as they were more or less aligned from production start, albeit my original order went in back in early September. Yours looks awesome too!

I love the color combo! I think that red, green, blue exterior works incredible with brown interiors, especially dark ones like Mocha is. I got my 2021 M550i in Tanzanite Blue with the Mocha Brown Napa interior. The clash of BMW Individual colors!!
