I like the jet black but I said to myself, "will I like the black in a few years?" and chose the silver because it's less trendy.

Feel free to post more pictures in different light. One showing the wheels in natural light would be appealing.

These are the 19" wheels with the red caliper brakes. I think they look good with the warm gray. I also went with the Cognac Sensatec to go with the warm gray and I'm very happy with that pick.

Nice ride. Looks like my 550 from the front quite a bit.
Hopefully you have a cozy garage to keep that beauty safe this Winter !

Thanks! My garage is too cozy, I'll need to do some purging to keep everything clear of the car.

Well, I think I'll be changing my build to include these wheels. Thanks for the photos so much better than the configurator.

Wheels are by Stance SF03, Gloss black with tinted face. Upgraded cross drilled brakes completed this project perfectly.

Leo from Vibe Motors went far and beyond to get me these beauties in record time. After shopping around it was a no brainer to go with Leo and Vibe - 100% great customer service! Constant and quick replies to questions.
Where did you get your cross drilled rotors?

It looks very sophisticated and even better looking than the image they use in "Build My BMW." I just ordered the same, thanks for the preview!
Agree. The image on the build site does nothing close to justice for this color. I sort of wandered into it - it was one of a few colors I'd be okay with and now I'm glad I got it. Lots of personality to it

Just my biased opinion - I love cognac, mocha, and black interiors - but I think the beige and ivory interiors really match well with this color.

I don't have pics to post yet, but mine is a 2018 540i, luxury line, dark graphite exterior, beige Dakota interior with fine line wood trim. Very classy look, in my opinion.

If anyone has actual pics of a dark graphite with beige or ivory interior with the gray poplar wood trim, I'd love to see them! I love that trim on the build site but haven't found real life pics of it.
