The only location where I have the cerium on mine are the X7 and 50i badges and believe it or not, the water spots are quite noticeable on them. No way I want the grill/mirror-housings like that...

BMW needs to rethink the whole cerium accent thing. It doesn’t look great, doesn’t look premium and is hard to maintain clean.

Don't let people get to you bud. I could write a check for a Urus but going to order a loaded 2021 40i in August. It's what YOU want.

Interior too please! Also interested in dirty pics of the car too. lmao. My wife and I are in between Alpine White and TB II on Tartufo. I have an Alpine White F80 now and still love it but this would be our 3rd car in a row in AW. I have PPF and ceramic now and am still super obsessive about keeping my cars clean so I'm worried TB II will be a pain to keep looking nice all the time even with PPF/ceramic. TB II just looks so damn hot tho. My wife really wants Carbon Black but I'd be washing my car 3x a week if that's the case. Really like TB II and of course it'd be a way easier decision if it wasn't $2k. TB II certainly makes the X7 M50i look special though. Last edited by MomoM3; 06-23-2020 at 11:53 PM.. |

Now, my X7 is Arctic Grey and it gets the same cleaning regiment even though unfortunately there is no garage space for it right now. But it falls in the category of a dark, rich color IMHO, and even after a huge pollen burst a few days after washing (which is so annoying BTW ), it still looks good, especially from a slight distance in the sun. My vote is for the TB II (a color I would have gone with if I found an X7 with the other specs I wanted). Oh yeah, you should take a closer look at Carbon Black. It is not really black, but more of a very dark, deep, almost Navy Blue in different types of light. Unlike Black Saphire Metallic which is more like the traditional black that is so hard to keep clean. For that reason I also considered Carbon Black, too. I am not a fan of white cars, but you really can't go wrong with either choice. Good luck ....

I went TB II in the end because it was more different than other vehicles I own and on the plus side it's a beautiful color that reminds me of a car I used to have a long time ago.... ahhh the memories |

I'd like to see an X7 M50i in TB II with XPEL and/or Ceramic Coating up close in the sunlight. I've seen a TB II M50i in a showroom with not so flattering lighting and it was sort of under whelming. On the other hand, I've seen pics of a TB II X7 in bright sunlight and it looked amazing. It's definitely a color that interests me but I think it may need XPEL and/or Ceramic Coating to really make it pop.
Our 2019 X7 50i in Arctic Grey cleans up great and looks showroom fresh after applying some Wolfgang Spritz. |

I think the reference was to V8 engine from BMW. Having had an M5 eating a quart of oil every 1K kms, I can attest, not the best having put in 13 quarts prior to your next oil change. Others have echoed the same.

Two of them are the same engine so that’s not really fair. One never had issues, the other had the top end rebuilt and covered under warranty at 70k miles, the last I remember adding some but never a full quart in between maintenance. I also always perform my own maintenance so it doesn’t hit my wallet that hard. Out of everything the availability of parts at this stage of production is beyond ridiculous but that’s going to go with everything on the platform. They can build cars on the daily but don’t have those same production parts available for one off sale. |

Yeah I will take care of this X7 like I take care of my M3. I will do front PPF + ceramic and give it a pro-home full detail 1x/week regardless of color. I keep my cars extremely clean. I do like Carbon Black but that color will really get the most of my OCD for sure. Quote:
