Bars were polished with Menz 3800 and light cutting pad, then sealed with MenzPowerlock and Collinite 845 as I wanted to see how they faired before doing a ceramic coat. Didn't want to lock in patchiness.

The M5 I test drove had matt bars also, that was a 2018 built car so they didn't look unusual to me.
Thanks again and mine is also a 2018 built car. After reading some of the recent posts on the cars sound, I think I'm happy it isn't a late build?

I shall have a word with my local guy about the bars - most importantly, I know that is how they should be, so can build on that - so thanks!

The service manager said he '"thought they had gone off" FFS.

"Like a pint of milk" I asked

Anyway, thankfully dealers are not few and far between...
