What matte color should I pick for my 650i?!
Just bought this 2014 650i. I need ideas for a great matte color for the exterior that'll match the red interior.

I saw this car in cali two years ago and the owner had it matte gold and it looked sick. So I finally got one but I kinda grew out of that matte gold color. I was thinking matte grey with glossy fire engine red lines with blacked out rims.
For example I'm using this Mercedes video. what u think?

This colour is very tasty and not too far from you original colour.

I have contemplated the same many times. I love matte black/dark grey cars a lot. But you also cannot beat a shiny black car when it is freshly waxed!
The problem I ran into when looking for a wrap was finding a place that did a consistently good job wrapping them. Even the upscale car dealership that was showcasing their work had seams I could see from 10 feet away. Just didn't do it for me in the end.

These pics are from 2013 when I had my 335D wrapped - I went with something in between matte and gloss - this color is called matte metallic gray by Avery - hope this helps - I think it would look amazing with your interior

In Dallas?
Chance of being pulled over = 100% - [window tint %] Lol, actually as long as you're not bringing attention to yourself in other ways (speeding, swerving, etc...) you probably won't get pulled over. I hope you know a guy at an inspection shop though, because you won't pass with anything darker than 25% on the front windows.

My theory is that they'll rather pull over a cheap car with tint first than a nice bmw

Colors that would go well with red interior are grey, white, and black. Red would be a bit too flashy imo.

Ok, what are they saying about taking it off in a couple of years.. will it hurt the paint? Good Luck with your color choice.. looking forward to seeing before and after pics.. ps: The tint looks great. If you get pulled over get that window down ASAP haha.. Cheers.....

oh man, your color is perfect. I love brown cars.
I wouldn't mess with it. I can tell a wrap job from a mile away, it just won't look the same as real matte paint. Since I love brown, I would actually use the transparent matte wrap and keep the exterior color.

Hit up Cedar Performance in Dallas. He has a tuning option starting at $895. I am new to tuning also but Matt is a great guy and eager to help and explain the various options.
