is it just me or does the dark graphite metallic look darker in the LCI vs pre?

I don't know, but it would be hard to tell without them side by side and in person. The color changes so much based on lighting and also how clean/dirty it is.

I could do some of the finishing, like the smoked taillights, making the LCI appear darker.

I thought you were talking about Mosaud1998's wheels...

These are Avante Garde M650 in Bright Silver: 20x9 +28 and 20x10.5 +38

I recently Hyperdipped them in Satin Black to see how they look. They look really nice, but I think I'm going to go with a darker gunmetal color. I actually like the look of these wheels when they get covered in brake dust.

My 2022 530E Xdrive with its M669 20 inch summerwheels on. I must say, i think it is spot on😀👌🏻. Ac schnitzer lowering springs is in order to get it a bit down to the ground😇

Testing out Satin Black wheels to see if I like them.

Very nice.

Question on the roof rack - did you have any trouble with the flaps/covers over the mounting points breaking when you flipped them up to mount the bars? I've read about that being an issue and they do seem a little flimsy/weak. Makes me nervous about putting them on, but I could use the cargo space of a roof box in the future.

I didn't have any issue with the flaps. I had cars with similar flaps and was just easy with them when I opened them up. I also made sure I was careful when installing the cross bars.

Thanks! I had them done in 35%. They look even lighter because of the Ivory interior.

Fantastic wheels! Are those 20's or 19's?

Summer in the mountains 😊

So im getting this one lowered with Ac Schnitzer springs in a couple of weeks (i'm at work on a ship now counting days ), and yesterday i accidentaly ordered the 50 jahre badges🙈😇. What do you guys here think about the badges? I am a bit nervous how it will look on the car. Anyone here fitted it on their car? Mine is a 22 model with full M optics so i think its acceptable even if its not a wbs car🤓

Odd "left-over" from my Navy days; I really miss being at sea, though I don't miss being away from home. WESTPAC's of 8-9 months will take a toll on the marriage. The pay was maybe 1/4 of what I made in the real world from my Navy training!
