My Frozen Arctic Grey 540 xDrive

Thought I'd share some pics of my 540 that I just picked up yesterday. So far absolutely loving it and hopefully I won't get bored of this one as quickly as I have been of all my cars in the past. Love the colour and the main reason I went with this.

Premium enhanced package
Drivers assistance package
Smartphone connectivity
Remote control package

So pretty loaded except for massage seats.

Will get more pics once I get it tinted etc.

Hi thanks for the message. I think I would like to keep it classy so just the tint, perhaps tint on tail lights and orange reflectors as well. Other than that I want to replace the chrome grille with a gloss black one. I think that's pretty much it, feel like the car is perfect otherwise. I'll also probably debadge the back for a cleaner look.

Definitely do the tints or black vinyl on side markers. Would like to see the end result! Grill is a must and de badge will make it look clean.

I know right? Honestly I like white on my car. But this would be my second choice! So unique!

So apparently they don't have vinyl so I won't be able to get the tail lights and side reflectors done today but still excited about the tint.

I was so sure I was going with a white car this time until I saw this one it completely turned me around. A frozen white of some sort would be even crazier but not sure they make these in that colour. While at the dealer I saw a frozen white m6, it looks amazing.

In comparison.. frozen white for me is not as nice as yours. The sheen on grey/black with the light is much nicer.

Are you going to ceramic coat your car? Since it is new. Best time to protect your paint.

Most probably not actually. I won't even bother with 3M this time. As I am leasing now and not purchasing them, don't see the point in spending a lot on top since I likely will switch after a while anyway.

It's an individual colour. Mainly aimed at the 7 series I think.

Have to say I love the colour, but then I chose it too

At least the third one on the forums?

Yup it's the regulations we have. If I had to guess aimed towards night time driving where they can reflect light hitting your vehicle or something.
