Damn... Looks great. Questions... door chrome wrap, did you use gloss black or matte??? also the front reflectors... did you buy them color matched or paint them yourself??? I have a Bluestone and I've been looking at doing these mods. Additionally I'm looking at popping off the center grill piece between the kidneys and painting it to match Bluestone.

Definitely can find the painted front reflectors on the web. Same with the center grille piece. Plan on ordering these myself when my car arrives.

Yea, I found them on IND... it is 119. for the fronts and 85. for the center piece. I bought some touch up paint in Spray and brush. They came with clear coat in spray and brush as well. I'm going to try and DIY it first.

Hi,
Here is my 530e Blue Stone Metallic received end February. 40 days from the order and the delivery
I changed the Black Kidney Grills and also the exhaust tips by the one in Black Glossy.
Rear windows tinted in medium (less cheap and dark than the one from BMW).
Next steps are the removal of the eDrive badges and a full ceramic protection.

I saw my first Bluestone Metallic in person yesterday and couldn't believe how different it looked based on where the sun was hitting it. A very unique color for sure!

Where did you get the spray paint?

Is it actually spray paint as in permanent or more like a plasti dip that can come off?

Either way, looks pretty good!
