Didn't realize until taking this pic that our cars don't have headlight washers - wth

This pic was taken the day I picked her up...seeing a shine like that encouraged me to get ceramic coatings a week later.

First ever BMW!

2022 M550 in Alvite Grey. Decided to go with the black 786M rims.

We had requested the black kidney grill and accents, but the vehicle mistakenly came with the cerium grey grill, side accents and mirrors. Luckily, the dealer has said they will resolve this.

Looking forward to taking delivery this weekend

Although currently driving through some nasty road salt, I cannot let my '22 M550 sit in the garage!

This colour looks fantastic in the sunlight. I nearly ordered it myself, with all the black accents as you did (order). I hope you share another photo when your dealer swaps those out for you.

Nice combo! Ultimately, your combo was my first choice...but as you know, with new england weather...it's got to be tough to keep clean. Gorgeous.

How does the Gtechniq hold up?

The side vents are an arse the replace, I understand that the whole wing needs to come off! I opted for carbon covers to darken them up as a result.

Thanks, good to know!

Grill should be arriving this week, side vents shortly after.

Still waiting to see about mirrors. We told dealer we'd be okay with switching them to either alvite grey or black mirrors depending on availability.

Looking forward to sharing more photos once everything is installed

How does the Gtechniq hold up?

Thanks! It is supposed to last 6 months per application, but it's so easy to do a coat, I probably coat it once a month. Takes 15 minutes. I literally have a problem with detailing products as I accumulate them. This stuff is the best I've ever used. Gtechniq makes superior products including their ceramic products that are used by the Pro's. None of the stuff in my inventory can be purchased at Autozone.

This is another one of my favorites, waterless wash:
