I have gloss black on my goblin green m550 and it 100% will make the car pop a bit more on any body color. Just do it. You’ll be happy!

Here’s a few. If you want a top down photo let me know or a specific angle and I’ll take some tomorrow when the sun comes out. I chose not to wrap the roof rails because I have green on the rails in the front that wouldn’t look good going from green to black halfway. Also the sharkfin requires dropping the entire headliner and it’s near impossible for a non BMW shop to get everything back in without a rattle.

That looks great! Is that an individual color? I just had a stealth wrap done on my skyscraper gray M550i but didn’t even think to do the roof in gloss black. I have oem side mirrors so didn’t do much there either. I did have the rear diffuser wrapped in gloss black because it was a weird gray color.

No it’s a wrap. The mirrors are carbon fiber m5 mirror caps that look amazing. My OEM mirrors were wrapped green but I just swapped them with these.

At some point in the fall I’m probably gunna xpel stealth ppf the OEM color (bluestone metallic) and leave the black accents. But that’s a 6-8k project.

Do you know the procedure for removing the shark fin? On my previous BMWs, it was just held on with 3m double sided tape. I can't seem to find anything online for our vehicles...

Why are you trying to remove it? It can be wrapped on the vehicle it’s just a tough job. From what I’m aware complete removal (including the wires) requires removing the headliner to gain access.
