Well the car looks incredible, and the stealth finish against gloss carbon is really sweet. It looks amazing regardless of the colour subtleties.

The ppf certainly did take the CB highlights out of the reflections, but it looks like a very unique result… nearly a deep blue/purple that surely looks close to black in lower/diffuse light. Perhaps in person it looks slightly different?

I like it for the fact it’s a subtle change from black, which coincidentally is the main reason I like CB in the first place. Black BMWs are everywhere, and though they do look good they’re very common.

In the end it’s up to you, but I like it!

Couldn’t describe it better. Is not reflexive as the gloss but stills show the deep blue when sun shine on it.

I’m really loving it specially the combination with the wheels.

I’m loving driving the car.

Been a perfect weekend, nice drive, nice views and great food, sharing this moments with my wife and kid!

And I already got my first track day book in March cortesy of BMW dealer that offered me the day.

Will post the review of the delivery, first drive and more photos next week for all interested.

My E46 M3 was in Carbon Black, so it's a bit of a pity that it doesn't quite show up this way. But it looks good nevertheless, especially in combination with the wheels. Congrats!

Hi guys,

I apologize for the chaos at work that has kept me busy and unable to add new pictures. However, I do have a video that the dealer created during the preparation of my car, which showcases the complete transformation process.

Sounds like Ruby Black.
