I thought BMW had OEM ones or maybe i'm mistaken. i'm hoping the M50i has the Cerilium grey or whatever they call them like on the M40i

My only concern with that is hardness and resistance of spray can paint. I know not much at all about paint soooo. Yes do test.

How'd the scratch turn out on rear bumper? Hope they did a good job

Cerium Grey is available and will be standard like on all M Performance models to date. (unless they completely change their ways)

Cover it with 3M spray on PPF (no idea how well it works but I'll buy some and see)

I'll be able to tell when my car is cleaner. It was raining pretty much since I got bear the DFW area so my car isn't clean at all right now. I'll do a handwash Friday/Saturday and take some pictures.

Looks good. I always print several sheets of paper that say in bold 112 point font that says DO NOT WASH!!! And I have them clipped hanging from the glove box, the dash, and the center console. I have never had the dealer do their swirling car wash yet.

They did on my Audi once but never since then. I don't know why they feel the need to wash cars, I feel washes should be done by request only.
