Stormtrooper 640...

[jwblack750]

I replaced my OEM 19s with some glossy powder coated OEM 20s. I'm still trying to decide if I go with a) a black trunk spoiler, and b) either no trunk badging or glossy black badging. Any thoughts on either of those??

Where did you get the wheels? How much?

I think it was $1,550 and $150 for shipping, so $1,700. I found them on Craigslist, but the seller seems to have a eBay store, which I think is under *******change, IIRC.

That was without sensors, so I ended up spending about $3K for wheels, TPMS and tires.

No way!! Your BMW is the one I saw online that made me go with glossy black wheels! I was just searching Google for images, and yours came up. Granted, I would've liked to have gone with the liquid black wheels, but I was able to find some cheaper 373 wheels and had them powder coated. Any recent mods?

Time for me to crash out, but it's nice to meet the guy that inspired me to go with the stormtrooper look on my 640!

Nice! Looks like my coupe

What about the chrome behind the front wheels and on the door handles. Looks out of place.
Get them wrapped black too.

Love your 650!! I was debating wrapping the last bits of chrome in black, and I think you sold me on it. Does your grille have the 1/2 chrome slats, or is it all black?? Mine has the 1/2 chrome slats, which is why I thought of leaving the side markers and door handle inserts with some chrome. I've got some glossy black trunk badges, so that would be easy.

Why does someone else's car always look more bad ass than your own?? Yours looks so much better than mine, but that's probably just in my head, huh?

Yeah, see my other comment. The guy above has one all blacked out, and it looks pretty sick. I did that on my Alpine White F10, and I didn't like it quite as much. I think it's because I went with matte black, and the glossy adds some class to it, I think.

Looking good! Very clean

@jwblack750, looks nice.
I would do color match that front bumper reflector and gloss black side marker piece. Door handle wise, just do a wrap.

Thanks! I wouldn't say mine looks any better than yours...I think your just telling yourself that lol. But I know what you mean...because that has crossed my mind before when I saw other 6's. My grill slats are identical to yours and have chrome. I haven't found solid gloss black ones without going to the M6 slat design. I would wrap your fender chrome in black vinyl as well as your door handles. This is not expensive to do and will look much better! You can also do your roof in black vinyl as well...it will look killer!

Yeah, I think I'll order some glossy vinyl to do the fender and door handle chrome, and then I'll add the black badging, too. I thought about the roof, too, which I think would be pretty easy. I did all my vinyl on my F10, and let me tell you, when you have chrome window trim...it's a bitch!!! Are your mirrors in vinyl, or are they caps?

Any pics of your M6??

Go debadged! Glad I did

[WWnyc]

Actually looks really clean without.
Like it.

Yeah, that looks really good, to be honest. I will likely go with that look in the near future. I already had the glossy numbers, so I thought I'd run it for a little while to see what I think. But, damn...it looks really good debadged!

[m34SPD]

Car looks nice! Agree, debadge! Rear looks so much better.
