Would have been prudent to have said really, Yes, roof, wheels and mirrors. :oops:

Im a big fan of gloss black roofs on E89's - along with the wheels and mirrors I think it looks amazing :thumbsup:

Awesome! That looks great! Now you have me re-thinking a black roof on my silver eE89...is that painted or a wrap?

I'll go against the trend as I feel it has harmed the sleek lines and made the body look 'heavy' and a little slab sided

Some better pictures might look different and change my mind, but as always I love experimentation and yours is the opinion that counts :)

Not sure if it's my eyes but the roof looks small, kinda out of scale with the white body. Strange what the contrast of colours can do.

At first a thought you had put your Zed in a washing machine, on a spin cycle. :lol:

Now I realise it's received a cool new look. 8) :thumbsup:
