Anyone repainted their X5/past cars?
I'm considering doing a color change on my carbon black X5. Anyone ever done this to their X5 or any other vehicle for that matter? Any other better alternatives? I love the X5, but the black/blue is super annoying trying to keep clean.

There was a forum member who did Autoflex (many coats) and was very happy. Autoflex is a next step from plastidip. Plastidip was a DIY thing, while Autofelx is more for Professional paint shops. It's more sturdy like real paint, but still removable after 3-5 years to go back to your oem color.
There's also wrap too. I wouldn't paint my car with real paint - it's permanent and you might run into issues during reselling. Just my opinion man. https://f15.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh...light=autoflex |

No way I could justify spending that much for a paint job. I've been considering wrapping my own. Love to do the space grey, think it's probably the easiest to keep clean.

Yea not a chance I’d spend that much. I’d just trade it in and pay the difference at that point.

See, this is really an ideal situation for me. My “relative” is actually on my wife’s side of the family. So it’s kinda like a “hey, I’m doin it to send them business” situation 😂
I might go for it. |

I always wanted a matte black wrap(overplayed I know) but now that I have the carbon black, I want a light colour.
