The super deep concave pictured on the M3 is currently only available in 19" and 20". With 22" the only options are basically flat (semi deep) and whats pictured on the X5M (Deep )

Uh, don't do it.
I saw a fully wrapped F15 with Matte Black last weekend. It doesn't look nice.
No offense to the owner.
Matte Silver, Matte Grey, Matte White, would be nice.

There's a big difference between Matte colors (I find most of them ugly except the BMW Frozen Grey and Frozen Silver) and Satin colors. The BMW shown above is a Satin Black. Satin shines a lot and looks much better than any Matte color.

Thanks for the info, good thing I didn't move just for the plates, it would have been a disappointment.

Just peeked at DE DMV, it's not so black there either, it's more midnight-blue with yellow letters. Exact opposite of what we have in NY.

Side note: I saw a wrapped BMW on the road earlier today, it was super bright pink, the twist is, it was a male driver.

It's a replica tag based on the old tag from 1942. People buy them off of ebay and use them, lol. http://anonymousdelawarean.blogspot....black-tag.html.

Haha, no apology needed. I joked about it to myself. I called him on the phone today asking him about my strut update (it was sent to Accuair for the exact measurements for my F15) and asked when I would most likely get my car back. He told me this coming Saturday with photoshoot hopefully Sunday. I don't want to get my hopes up even though it's been way too long, lol.

Wobbles · 01-13-2015, 12:48 AM

Heheh... poor opasha. We all feel for him ... and I've already munched through 1/2 a dozen big bags of popcorn & guzzled down a couple of gallons of Coke while watching this drama unfold....

... in agonizingly s l o w m o t i o n

But, as they say, good things come to those who wait!

Fingers crossed, my friend, you'll get your baby back Saturday. THIS coming Saturday
