Fantastic color! Nice to see something bright and that will stand out compared to the dull black, white, silver and gray that everyone seems to be buying.

OMG Stunning! Absolutely beautiful. Great job going stealth instead of ultimate.

'Satin' is such a better way to describe this. 'Ice' is... cheesy. Beautiful wrap job. Is there any concern about the spoiler seam and peeling?

[phoenixbmwlife]

Damnit! Why did I have to see this? I just told myself I would save the money and not do the wrap on my car, but now after seeing how good it looks on yours I'm having second thoughts. Damnit! Lol

beautiful!!! enjoy!

This looks amazing. The X5M is already a special car, but the details with the stealth/ gloss combo helps yours stand out just that much more. Congrats

Black handles match the black trims. They look good actually.

Stealth has the same 10-year warranty like Ultimate Plus. So any peeling I can take it to Xpel authorized detailer to fix.

Looks great. Well done.

Looks amazing! I see you are in Arkansas. So am I. We live in Conway. When I ordered my F80 M3 I went with Frozen White. I love it. It’s actually easier to maintain than gloss paint for me. I never wash it. It’s always wiped down with detail spray lol. The only issue matte/satin paint really has it how to fix it when it’s damaged. That’s a PITA.

I checked some photos of MBB M5 with Xpel Stealth and really liked the finish, plus it's still a smooth film so very easy to maintain (unlike matte/satin paint).

It took my detailer a little over a month to get it done completely. Besides Xpel, he also applied CQuartz Finest ceramic coating on the whole car and wheels. I got IND color-matched reflectors installed too. The gloss black trims are wrapped by regular Xpel Ultimate Plus, to provide a little contrast.

Reason for it taking so long is because:
1) the detailer is only a 2-man team, and for whatever reason people all decided to get PPF on their cars during COVID-19;
2) the X5M being brand new, Xpel didn't have the correct pattern in their system. My guy only got template for the front and had to hand wrap the entire back side.

The end result is amazing! It kept the "pop" in MBB color and added some depth with the satin finish and appears to be "bluer" in direct sunlight due to less reflection from the paint. I will let the pictures speak of themselves...

Absolutely beautiful "Frozen" Marina Bay Blue!

[J-RO]

Excellent

[Germanauto]

That's hot.

[r33_RGSport]

That looks very good.
That blacked out door handle came out good too.
I was thinking of doing that in my X3MC, but was in the fence.
Now after seeing yours, I might just do it.

Just amazing congrats
