Dark graphite on cognac vs black(ventilated)

Scouse7 · 07-23-2018, 05:27 AM

I have a dark graphite Xdrive30i M-sport with black interior with blue contrast stitching. Love the subtle look, and ease of maintenance.

Nice car, Scouse. Did you get the grills etc painted, or wrapped?

There seems to be a mixed opinion on vented sears. Some love them. Others don’t. I drove a loaner car for about two weeks with them and I am not a fan. Prefer straight sports seats. Just my opinion.

Very nice. I wouldn't mind getting all my chrome wrapped. Black on white or black on black imo looks so good. With chrome, not so much.

The M40i has a tone of bronze grills & other accents, so there would be a few items to wrap. On a black car, they stand out more, and identify the 40i over and above the lesser models. I’m in two minds whether to do mine.

Graphite/Cognac/Fineline Cove Matte trim here. Stunning combo imho.

Strange how I wasn't struck buy the cognac when I first saw it. I've seen lots of it since and I'm now really starting to like it.

So sick! I've changed my option to cognac, do you have more pics of your car?

Anyone have a photo of Cognac with Fineline Open Pored Ash trim?

That's what they used for the official release pictures. The trim contrast is very exaggerated in this photo, the color is more uniform than shown.
