Z4 E89 35IS Wrap

Post by sunnydays » Thu May 11, 2017 5:04 pm

Thanks for the input everyone! I went to view these wraps today and ended up choosing the following:
3M 1080-G364 Gloss Fiery Orange :)

The Gloss Burnt Orange and Regular Orange look way to strong in real life, colours do not look anything like the pics or swabs really.....

So im thinking

Gloss Fiery Orange Inc Roof
Gloss Black Mirrors
Gloss Black Front Grill
Brake Callipers Matched to body colour (Or Blue to match BMW Elements and provide abit of contrast)
326M 19" Alloys. Not sure on these.... I do not like pure black, feel like wheels lose all detail, Perhaps a carbon shadow grey?

Let me know your thoughts once again guys! Thanks all

More Images I have found of the 1080 G364 Fiery Orange (Note how different the colours are in each picture, some much more orange, some much more red. This wrap is highly responsive to light, and goes from a reddish orange to golden orange in sunlight

They say beauty is in the eye of the beholder but if I was choosing for myself it would definitely be the fiery orange. Mind you my wife is reluctant to let me choose the colour of my own socks!

Again, fiery orange is a stunning color and YES it looks very different with different light. What i like the most is that it even looks deep with bad light, not as flat as most orange. Fresh washed in direct sunlight i'm fallimg in love everytime with the color. :hateie:

Perfect!

You're right about the calipers, too. BMW blue will echo the badges.

As for not black wheels (in this context), you're right again, but what is "carbon shadow grey"?

Similar shade to anthracite. Pic from a member here on the 326M alloys.

The shading on the wheels should suit your choice of 'dynamic' orange very well.

Indeed.

My regular car is a Jag XF 3.0s in Italian racing red, red calipers and black pack (gloss black external trim) and gloss black 20" alloys.

The factory matching red calipers (not normally my thing) with red body really work hence my vote for colour matched calipers rather than bring blue into the orange theme, obviousely it's your preference that counts.

I have see a modified hot version of my car in again in italian racing red with black pack but with 21" wheels in anthracite grey and I have to concede these look even better than my black wheels.

Good luck with your final choices

Fiery orange is the colour I'd choose without a doubt! matt black alloys and body coloured callipers. :driving: :thumbsup:

Wise, because even the right wrap will be spoilt by wrong alloys.

Sorry to go a little off topic but how did you know your rear spring broke? Might be a dumb question but what was the symptom? Cheers

Loud clang when pulling out of the garage. Examined the car and noticed one side was lower than the other. Measured from the skirts nearest the rear wheel arch and noticed a 2cm drop one side compared to the other.

Cant think what else could cause a 2cm drop apart from a spring
