Congrats! Absolutely love those wheels. Is that carbon black or tanzanite blue?

Thank you!! Carbon black.
I love the wheels as well, but I might be swapping them out for some dark bronze Vossen wheels. I’ve always loved the combination of dark “navy blue” paint & black/bronze wheels. To me just looks aggressive but subtle and outside the normal “murdered out” all black look.
We will see…

Congrats! I’d recommend BC forged with a dark bronze finish. Buddy of mine has a set in his GLC63 and they look stunning.

If you haven't don't it, try coding this to start in sport. When I had an M50, my neighbors always knew when I was headed to work. Sounded amazing.

Added bonus, it gets rid of stop/start.
