Do I get them sprayed or wrapped?!!

Picked up my M40i yesterday and I have the MP gills on order but I’m not really a fan of the matte silver accents and was wondering if it’s best to get them sprayed or wrapped?!

Cars SB so wrapping them gloss black will work!

Thanks

I would say wrap them gloss black, would look cool but again depend on what color you got

I installed the gloss black grills from IND Distribution and they look fantastic. I did have the mirror caps wrapped with a carbon fiber film, and they look so much better than the factory satin finish. I'll post pics later.

Thanks

The wheels are the factory 21" upgrade (718M). I had them powder coated after delivery. Also, the pic doesn't show it very well, but the mirrors are wrapped in a carbon fiber film.

How much did the powder coat cost you? Also does that X4 has remote start?

I had the powder coating done in CA and it was $1,500. Could be less in other locations. I did not order the remote start as I was in SoCal when I bought the car (now TX) but it doesn't seem worth it (doesn't get "that" cold here).

Ok thanks for the info. So it doesn't come with remote start standard but it's an option to be added? I live in Milwaukee, WI so it's about 21 degrees here right now lol. I have it in my Jeep Grand Cherokee now and I use it all the time.

Thanks again.
