Carbon black and cf is just

Started off a few months ago stock. And these are just some phone pics (I wanna get a fall photoshoot with the big boy camera soon).

2017 540

Like the carbon interior trims. I have the Autotechnic kit. Where did you get the cf trim for the trim around the shifter. The kit I got did not have that.

Stunning. Absolutely love the contrast the CF creates against the black. And I've never been a big fan of eyelids, but they work really well here, definitely streamlines the front end!

I think that might be Tanzanite Blue which can appear black. When I brought my 2023 M550i home in the evening, my wife said, "I thought we agreed, no black car". She was certain that it was black. Tanzanite Blue looks spectacular in bright sunlight.

I thought it looked like Carbon Black (which is well known for its blue tint in the sunlight, as opposed to Black Sapphire)?

Hey, I love the build! I just purchased the same front lip for my alpine white, thinking about getting it paint matched.
Question for you, can you give me your thoughts on the crystal gear selector? I seems like quite the improvement but wondered if there were any drawbacks or cons to making that change? I've read some of the DIY forums and am confident I can do the install, just wanted to see if you had any pros cons to mention. Cheers!
