    Sterling Gray...yes Gray BMW 540i M equipped

    Gee...my eyes finally get a decent break and I get a wonderful car to do. This belonged to the Pres. of the Milwaukee BMW club and he really kept the car in super condition. But, I just upped the appearance somewhat.

    The car had some very light surface scratching here and there so I used my trusty sidekick: Meguiar's #83 and a 3M cutting pad. That combo is very nice for cars that don't need a bunch of correction. Following that, I used 3M Swirl Remover and a finish pad, then a power wash and Z5. I might put a coat of Souveran on it tomorrow for grins and additional depth.

    Bumper work...the car has very few stone chips for a 2003.



    After final wash but before LSP



    Done Shots











    And, as luck would have it, I have a 530i Silver Gray to start on tomorrow...not to worry...there's a black Bimmer or 2 in my future.

    What's with this gray colour? hahaha just teasing. Always enjoy your posts Master Toto and love the way the colour seems to give a nice wet look.

    Thank you for sharing.

    For a second I thought it's an M5 . Beautiful one Toto! It just looks awesome and I love the hood reflection shot you got on there. It looks like I can jump in the hood!
