fresh detailed and tinted 2018 530e, silver metallic
Took delivery on 12-Sep of this beauty from BMW in Massachusetts. Was manufactured in June of 2018 and happened to be at the dealer just waiting for my butt. haha -
It's Glacier Silver with nicer 19" wheels that I really adore and as displayed by my post, I'm very excited. I gave it to a friend of mine for a ceramic paint treatment and tint...Before and afters below. I am soooo glad I tinted, huge difference and after owning about I'd say 10 cars (not 1 ever new), I've never had my car's windows tinted. Oh boy, cameras make such a big difference. Pardon the crappy photo quality, working on better ones... Before: After: After2: Last edited by gti6cyl; 09-27-2018 at 10:39 PM.. Reason: glacier silver, correction |

Thank you! I'm very excited. The ceramic my friend recommended said it would last more than a traditional wax and I'm hoping it makes maintenance on it easier. He did a great job on the car.
The negative aspect was that there were a about 25 or so sap marks that penetrated the clear-coat and he couldn't get it out even with clay and 2-step polish. I'm thinking about asking the dealer to see if there's anything they can do to compensate me since I bought the car with 295 miles on it and I was expecting like-new (if not new) paint. Not sure if anyone has an opinion on that, but it's not too outrageous to expect near-flawless paint on a $64k MSRP vehicle is it?? Thing is, when I took delivery I didn't scrutinize it because I was just so darned excited to pick it up. I'm not losing sleep over it since I can't even really see it in bright sun-light outdoors. It's inside with detail lights or LED that it shows up. |
