My dark graphite m550i... finally!

Texox · 12-23-2020, 05:38 PM

Picked up my dark graphite m550i last Friday and immediately took it to the detailer for xpel PPF and full ceramic coating... finally got to pick her up today. I'm loving it. It is hard to really see this color in pictures. It looks way better in person. But, in any event, here she is in the shop and then outside as the sun was going down:

Beautiful car, enjoy it. I just my 7 series in this color. Thinking of going with a Five in this color again

That looks awesome Tex - great colour choice, and I love those 20” wheels. Hope you’re very happy with it.

hoyas490 · 12-23-2020, 06:27 PM

Looks amazing, congrats and enjoy your new ride!

I take mine for tints the 7th and then detailing and ceramic on the 8th/9th!

I have my detailer doing the reflector deletes at the same time haha.

How do you like the floating caps? I thought they were sorta gimmicky, but have seen a lot of mentions of them lately

It looks awesome and with the brake calipers it creates a nice contrast.

AidenL · 12-24-2020, 03:27 AM

That’s fantastic looking. Congrats!

I think so, too. Gives it a little bit of pop and aggressiveness.

I had a 2018 M550 in Graphite so I know the color really well... that ceramic coating looks phenomena...
