X6M 2025

I officially built my 2025 X6M. Should come within 3 months tho smh. I need to know the best spot to go for ceramic tints. Currently live in Brooklyn. And I want to get flashing lights for headlights like the M8. Is it possible to get flashing lights AND at the same time, can I get blue lights that I can manually turn on whenever I want? Also I need to know the best spot to do this. Should I even get blue lights? Do you recommend anything else I should add? Should I do anything for the interior ? Should I add downpipes, straight pipe or nah keep it natural ?

Congrats on the car - and your new join!
Welcome.

As to your questions…I’m just scratching my head.

But enjoy the car for a year before you try to change anything…

Welcome to the forum and congrats on the build. Hopefully the wait isn't too bad.

Lol,

check out the attachment. I can’t really describe it. Or just go YouTube, type in LED headlights flickering.

Imagine this but on an X6M

This is my built
https://www.bmwusa.com/build-your-ow...he5bv3/summary

I think blue headlights flickering also would look fire at night with the frozen grey color on the exterior.

That's a recording effect that happens when your lights are on and your phone camera is recording. Someone in that tik tok post actually mentioned it by saying: "press record and have headlights on"

Just FYI, you're not going to get these blue accents in the headlights either, in case it's a dealbreaker.

What do you want done? Keep in mind those are just blue pieces of plastic, they do not light up.

That is the name of the paint, it is frozen though so you don't see the metallic.

The name of the paint on my order sheet is "Bmw individual frozen pure grey" no mention of metallic in UK

Likely just BMW UK's marketing materials. That actual name of C5A contains metallic, just like most if not all of BMW's frozen paints, since they are the frozen version of the metallic paint.

From Bmw paint manual:
"Choose the perfect finish.
Frozen paint finishes are matte and emphasize your BMW’s athletic design, giving it an ultra-modern look. Metallic finishes show off the distinctive contours of your BMW – creating unique, shimmering effects through the interplay of light. Non-metallic paints show a bold elegance in their simplicity.

One question do you have anything else to do except lurk on here 20,157 posts would say not.

And your point? I explained what they were four posts ago. We are talking about the name of the paint not the finish.
