Thanks! I was lucky to get this with the options that I want from the dealer. I wish It had LED lighting though...

aw305 · 11-03-2015, 09:06 AM

hopefully it didnt come with dealer installed swirls

Kzang · 11-03-2015, 09:38 AM

I was about to say the say thing but I thought it was just a bad picture..

Nice man!

Unfortunately that's par for the course with cars that are on the lot. Multiple quick washes every few days means there are swirls and holograms galore.
Now where's that paint correction/Opti-Gloss thread we can show the OP?

No swirls so far

Doanster · 11-03-2015, 01:56 PM

First pic looks like there are slight holograms on the driver's door and swirls on the rear door, etc. Good news if it's just the lighting and you're swirl free!

Kzang · 11-03-2015, 02:17 PM

Could be smudges from touching the paint... black is just so hard to keep clean.. MY slight OCD refrains me from getting one

Haha..."slight"! I have the same problem, but its more of a severe OCD when it comes to my house and vehicles. I guess it could be worse.

Congrats on you car.

Huge improvement compare with the 2013 E70 that I had!

Doanster · 11-03-2015, 04:38 PM

Speaking of OCD... I notice the passenger side has the open (half) lower grille while the driver's side is solid? Is your car a diesel? I recall something along the lines of the diesel having the oil cooler behind there or something, hence the open grille. Would drive me batty if one side was open and the other side closed, though!

Edit: titanium grille = 50i, so there's an extra cooler?

you're absolutely right! Its a 50i not really sure why one side is half open. Maybe someone else can answer this question.

There's clearly an extra cooler there (whether intercooler or otherwise). My question is why they didn't use the open grille on the driver's side to be consistent, regardless of whether there's a cooler behind there or not.
If I had a 50i, first order Ben would get from me is a set of open grilles.

that will be one of the mods that I have to do on top of debadging, black grill and black exhaust tips.

The diesel's actually have both sides solid, The DEF tank sits behind the passenger side grille. I've put open grilles on both sides on mine, and added the M50D splitters (painted body colour). Looks great!
