Gloss black is lovely - I had it on my last car.

The only downside with wrap is maintenance for us that live in snowy places. I had to be careful not to brush the roof since it would leave scratches on the wrap. Additionally, I was not able to go through auto car washes in the winter which is a huge convenience when you are consistently in freezing temperatures.

Since you're in CA, I think you'll be okay lol.

With the white, I'd say gloss black too. My friend has a white M3 with the gloss black roof and it looks fantastic.

Gloss black is definitely the best looking.

I would love to do this but everyone I see with it shows scratches. Is it that easy to scratch or are these people just careless? Anyone?

Not at all. I had my roof on my old G37 wrapped in gloss black and my E60 diffuser wrapped. Never had an issue with scratches. Just be sure they use high quality wrap from 3M.
