But since, a year later, , on looking at a higher spec upgrade, black was on my list from up close viewings, they're almost devilishly understated on glance, almost confusing your brain to redifine within that split second, but much more mean and aggressive without the brashness or gaudyness of white for example.

Cant tell from the pics but 20" alloys if not already got pretty much completes it's visual perfection.

Thanks mate, in love at the minute hah! Liking the understated look of the car at the minute too, no ones seems to know about whats under the bonnet!

If I were to go black wheels Id probably keep my original just for resale as like you said, Im unsure how many people would be keen on buying an all black car. But yeah, I agree, i think 20" wheels would round it off nicely as they seem to fill the arches much nicer

Got the Carbon M Perf kit ordered on collection day and fitted the past couple of days and swapped the grilles out for gloss black on day 1, happy so far with how its coming on!

Was looking at maybe getting some 763m wheels to tie in with the black theme and was wondering if anyone has them on a Black Sapphire BMW just to get an idea of what theyd look like?

Looks fab, welcome to the black stealthy club, but you need some different wheels to complete the look, interested to see what you chose.

I have Ispiri ffr8s on mine in graphite...

Excellent looking car - black looks so good when it's pristine, that said it's a devil of a job keeping it that way

The double-slit black grilles were an excellent choice.

Personally I'd put it on 405Ms. I'm not a fan of all black wheels as you lose all the detail at a distance, but it's all down to personal preference and what floats your boat.

Picked up last week, my new Blue Hera Mica 440i

Nice colour combo there...

The wheels will be coming in the next couple of months, need to refrain from completing the look too soon to delay the inevitable new car itch and keep it fresh! Love the look of the 763m and think it would complete the stealth look but not completely sold on it yet.

The ffr8s are a very nice set too, can imagine they work very well with black

Thanks man

. First weekend I got it I mustve spent around 6+ hours sealing and waxing it just to try and keep ontop of it, might be fighting a losing battle though hah! Mind, the last pics were 2 weeks after with no wash and typical northern awful weather so looks like its working so far

.

Aye was looking at the 405Ms too, lovely looking wheel and definitely a consideration, just got a real soft spot for the satin black 763Ms

Nice but doesn't look as good with a blacked-out centre cap on the wheels. Makes me think the caps fell off and you couldn't be arsed to replace.

Just bought some shadow exhaust tips to finish it off!

I've been tempted to de-badge or to replace with a black 330d badge instead

I bought black 335 ones but never fitted as I loved the de badged look.
The tips will look great.

Been on here for a couple of months now and discussed my car a fair bit but never posted a picture. Nothing special in terms of looks, standard M Sport with Adaptive Xenon's and M Sport Brakes. However walking back to my car this morning I couldn't help but think what a bloody lovely looking car it is. It's not been washed for over 3 weeks but still looks stunning in my eyes...
