Alpine white + 19" rims = low maintenance

For our 2020 X3 M40i, we decided on Alpine White because we had 3 black cars and never owned a white car. We also chose the 19" rims because they are much better for towing heavy things. Well, what an easy pair to keep looking nice. We have had the X3 since early Sep and still haven't given it a bath. The 19" rims actually look better now that the inside is completely covered in brake dust.

So, if you want a carefree combo, get AP and 19" rims.

Oh, forgot to mention, cerium is stupid. So that has to go.

Silver could be added too, easy to keep clean. Both Alpine White along with Silver will hide some swirl marks reducing detailing time.

Exactly what I ordered, Alpine over Cognac with 19's... but for a different reason: we'll use the stock 19's for the winter rubber and buy a set of BBS 20's for summer.
