Hello fellow 6'ers

DC650 · 06-28-2017, 01:36 PM

Wanted to say hello. I picked up my 650i a few weeks back and have searching the web for BMW forums. This site is exactly what I was looking for. I'm new to the BMW game so I have a lot of learning to do. This seems like the best place to start. I was looking for a classy, sporty, fast and fun car to use as a daily. It came down to the Cadillac ATS V and the 6 series. I really liked the Cadi but it was just a little too Honda Civic small for me. I drove a 640 and liked it but once I drove the 650 I was sold!

I picked up a CPO 2014 650i coupe. The car is immaculate and came with every option I was looking for. Since I picked the car up I've had the roof and blue on the emblems blacked out. Today its getting the clear bra installed over the front end and my Eisenmann exhaust is ordered and ready to be installed on July 5th. I look forward in hearing from all the knowledgeable guys in here and maybe picking up a few performance or mod tips I might be missing. Here's a few pics to start. Cheers!!

Nice machine! Looks good.
How did you black the emblems out? Stickers?

The shop that did the wrap on my roof also did the emblems with vinyl. Looks like factory. I love it!

Very nice. Maybe replace the kidney grill with a high-gloss black, less than 200 bucks.

Man, I have been fighting with that. I like the symmetry of the chrome around the kidney grille with the lights and side markers. I was thinking maybe just gloss blacking the fins only. IDK
