My Matte/Flat Black E90 335!!!

I think this is the 1st flat black 335 in the world? Somebody correct me if I'm wrong!

I would like to give a VERY special thanks to Vinyl Styles. The entire car is a matte black vinyl wrap. It's an 8-10yr. vinyl that is washed/taken care of by using a mixture of water & baby shampoo & a micro fiber because there is no ammonia in baby shampoo.

They are located in the Bay area & are amazing! These guys are a pleasure to deal with & I would recommend them to anybody looking to to do any amount of vinyl work on their car!

If you use him for ANY vinyl wrapping, I guarantee happiness. The work is superb & he won't let you leave until your car is perfect..This past weekend I went to MFest, my car was put up next to some of the most beautiful M cars around & EVERYBODY gathered around my car no matter where it was..Nobody believed it was a wrap, they all thought it was painted.

Cost: $3,000. I know this seems steep to many ppl but think about it like this:

-It's cheaper than a paint job
-It doesn't depreciate the value of the car (as a paint job would)
-It protects your paint
-Your paint is just as good as the day the vinyl went on.
-A clear bra for the front end can easily run $1,000

That looks unreal! I have to ask, when washing does it streak? How hard are bugs to scrub off? I love it!!!!

The quality looks amazing!
Can the vinyl be easily damaged by rock chips?

Car looks amazing. How hard is it to maintain the job? Easily taken off?

That looks great...I heard it can be a pain to keep the flat black looking good.

Looks awesome bro!

I'm sorry to say but it's not the first matte black E90 in the world, maybe in the states. I saw a matte black E90 with some bodykits in Singapore last month.

thanks for all the compliments guys! i'm glad everybody loves it so much, it's like having a brand new car, it's incredible!

& to all the rock chip questions, it holds up great! i took the car to 160mph in vegas a couple weekends ago @ mfest & there aren't any noticable marking on the front bumper what so ever! i was pleasently surprised!!!

I can verify that it went 160 - as I was in my M3 and we raced and he pulled away at 140, I hit 150 and he kept going.

Car looked great!

thanks

So, how hard is it to clean, to maintain the sheen without streaks?!
