What matte color should I pick for my 650i?!

Just bought this 2014 650i. I need ideas for a great matte color for the exterior that'll match the red interior.

I saw this car in cali two years ago and the owner had it matte gold and it looked sick. So I finally got one but I kinda grew out of that matte gold color. I was thinking matte grey with glossy fire engine red lines with blacked out rims.


For example I'm using this Mercedes video.

what u think?

I have contemplated the same many times. I love matte black/dark grey cars a lot. But you also cannot beat a shiny black car when it is freshly waxed!

The problem I ran into when looking for a wrap was finding a place that did a consistently good job wrapping them. Even the upscale car dealership that was showcasing their work had seams I could see from 10 feet away. Just didn't do it for me in the end.

These pics are from 2013 when I had my 335D wrapped - I went with something in between matte and gloss - this color is called matte metallic gray by Avery - hope this helps - I think it would look amazing with your interior

In Dallas?

Chance of being pulled over = 100% - [window tint %]

Lol, actually as long as you're not bringing attention to yourself in other ways (speeding, swerving, etc...) you probably won't get pulled over. I hope you know a guy at an inspection shop though, because you won't pass with anything darker than 25% on the front windows.

Yes sir in Dallas.
My theory is that they'll rather pull over a cheap car with tint first than a nice bmw

Frozen grey

Can't beat that color and the effect, even when it's very dirty it looks very clean

Colors that would go well with red interior are grey, white, and black. Red would be a bit too flashy imo.

Ok, what are they saying about taking it off in a couple of years.. will it hurt the paint?

Good Luck with your color choice.. looking forward to seeing before and after pics..


ps: The tint looks great.
If you get pulled over get that window down ASAP haha..

Cheers.....

oh man, your color is perfect. I love brown cars.

I wouldn't mess with it. I can tell a wrap job from a mile away, it just won't look the same as real matte paint.

Since I love brown, I would actually use the transparent matte wrap and keep the exterior color.

Hit up Cedar Performance in Dallas. He has a tuning option starting at $895. I am new to tuning also but Matt is a great guy and eager to help and explain the various options.
