This car needed the 6WA of the F10 M5 at least bundled with the Executive Package...

I went over the car to find what I truly dislike, not a little but something that actually bothers me.

There is only one thing and it may be exacerbated by color: The framing around the windows. It is glaring, it is cheap looking, and it is ugly. And I would see it everyday.

I would probably look to have these parts painted gloss black (i.e. shadowline trim) or some other treatment. They are also, currently, the type of plastic which is likely to fade and not look great in a few years.

Other than that, my only other complaint is the gauges - and that's just an f30 thing. They just aren't sexy or exciting.

Personally, the other areas people have complained about are fine with me. The hood, the tail lights....and that interior is finally an interior worthy of a 3-series.

Just thought I'd share this complaint and see if anyone has ideas for treatments.
