Yes, can see some swirls after a good wash - but c'est la vie!

I've gone for the same wheels, brakes and paint on my 230i except I have the M Sport pro pack for the black grille. Really nice to see someone else with a similar combo and how nice it looks. I was tempted to go black wheels and red brakesc but seeing yours with diamond cut and the blue calipers has made me convinced I made the right choice

I love the blue calipers too Inside I've got the black leather w blue stitching to match the calipers, and piano black trim.

Looking good. Currently debating alpine white vs thundernight.

Looking at the same wheels in hps. Can you confirm your tire size by chance?

Thanks

Honestly, I could never buy a white car again. Had a flat white 2013 Audi A4 and it /always/ looked dirty. And in photos I've seen, alpine has very stark contrast with the piano black trim on the G42. Thundernight on the other hand pairs quite nicely with both the black and cerium gray trim elements. Not just a pretty wild color; clearly multiple reasons Thundernight was selected as the G42 launch color

Agreed white cars are the worst. And look so cheap. If you're going for white why not at least get Mineral white metallic?
