I have a Carbon Black X5 50i now. The color is beautiful and worth the extra care. Mines ceramic coated so cleaning is easier especially since I only handwash. Don't use automatic car washes. If you must wash the car (not by hand) use a touchless wash
Thanks! Yeah, Michelins are my favorite tires so far on other cars I had. I remember being in a torrential downpour where other cars where spinning and going off the road. The Michelins were dead safe. Was just wondering if I the Bridgestones where actually usable for a while or really total garbage. Btw, I ended up going with Phytonic instead of Carbon. Was a tough call but I think I will like Phytonic better long term.
Bridgestone are garbage in my experience. I liked Pythonic Blue on my M40i but Carbon Black is another great color see both of mine below:
