Well, if you ask me, if one doesn't want to nitpick, one shouldn't get started on redesigning an otherwise quite good looking thing. But that's just my view, of course.

It looks good, but I agree on the interior light needing to 'Hulk' out. Not something I would do but if you can afford it why not! Works better on white than it would on most other colours. I'm an fan of the frozen black.

Jay-K · 09-01-2016, 02:35 PM

looking very sharp,
not for me imho but very unique indeed.

It looks really good. I don't get why people bash other owners color choices.

Except human rights and a diversified economy. Car is hideous.

Blindside_137 · 09-01-2016, 09:04 PM

Black/java green would look better IMO

raysspl · 09-01-2016, 10:50 PM

Anything is possible with enough $$$

This time i have to agree ... money doesn't buy taste ... what a waste of car and money..

uae247 · 09-02-2016, 05:17 AM

Congrats

Not a fan of the color or the all white rear end
Makes it look HUGE

The dealer custom paints the cars. They used to wrap them in the past but now repaint the body panela.

Not a BMW original item.

Enjoy the ride in great health

Honestly it looks like a pair of jordans lol with the color scheme and stuff

Right I get the whole marmite thing on the colour scheme I admit I'm not its greatest fan. But what is with some of the comments in this thread? So the guy comes from Abu Dhabi he's had a custom colour done he's paid his money he's taken his choice why the hate? Yes the country he lives in has human right issues but come on America has some serious ones and isn't the polished turd it thinks it is really is it!

On internet forums you actually get to see what others REALLY think about your car instead of casually walking by with a grin.

As for my human rights comment... the fact that the OP is implying that affluence can make anything happen (in this case painting a car a certain way) is the same mindset used to mask the government's serious human rights problem (i.e. arbitrarily detaining people and / or torturing them for criticizing authorities, enacting laws that futher jeopardize free speech and is discriminatory, mistreating migrant workers, and the general inequality of females).

I like everything except design around gear sector. BMW could have done it better.

Looks different and cool

Abu Dhabi motors always has some cool stuff on display.

Why not apply for a small license plate for the front end, it would suit the nose more. They look so cool and tiny.

TunerStock · 09-04-2016, 08:58 AM

Looks very unique, I like it.

Thanks! Good idea about the plate.

Marshallbrew · 09-04-2016, 01:27 PM

Wow... tough crowd here. Yeah, I get it, not everyone likes the color combo that I bought... it's cool.

Doesn't matter what everyone thinks. What matters is that you like it.
