Why thank you! I wanted to add a little bit of red to play off the 50th anniversary badges and the red calipers....just to add a little bit of sporty contrast. I was thinking of doing the mirror backs, but thought it may be too much.
The good news is...this is totally easy to do and inexpensive. It is HPV - High Performance 3M Vinyl (same material as ct wraps). I like doing these sorts of mods because there are a ton of colors to choose from...if you have blue calipers you can do blue...which works with the gloss black as well. I had a local car wrap shop do the parts for me and it was only 40.00! it took them 1 hour to put the vinyl on and if I get tired of them, they peel right off.
I am thinking of doing my roof in gloss black next.....just having fun with mods that not permanent and or super expensive.
what does this forum think about a gloss black roof? I have seen it on other cars and it looks pretty good.

I did get the rear spoiler and door sills applied at the port. I did not get the front lip as I wanted something a little more substantial than the OEM one - I like the RW Carbon one I purchased much better. It fits very well and I think it compliments the front end very well.
Door sill plates - Part# ZGZ
Door sill plates - Part# 51472472520
Rear spoiler - Part# Z22
Rear spoiler - part #51195A36997

I also got the MPerformance all weather mats. The extra deep ones. They fit like a glove and look gorgeous. I did get the WeatherTech mat for the rear as I liked the way it covered the complete back area with a nice durable, cleanable mat.

Thank you for the part numbers! I really appreciate the help. I'm not a fan of BMW's front lip at that price, so hopefully I can get the rear spoiler installed at the port on its own. For the deep all weather mats, I suppose you mean these liners. After searching around the forums on that topic, the OEM liners are my #1 choice.

A gloss black roof should look great, especially in contrast to the Mineral White.

Got on Dec 31, 2022. Since then added PPF to front 1/4 car, added M badges on front quarter panels, changed M440 badge on rear hatch to blacked out version, changed DRL's to yellow and added new exhaust tips. Overall pretty happy so far. Not sure what's next?

Amazing utility in this thing and tons of fun too, not to mention 30+ mpg on the highway.

This must be the most unconventional G26 photo with an open lift gate. Wouldn’t be surprised if there is a Texas BBQ smoker nearby.

G26 practicality and owners’ creativity continued to impress.

Was it brand new? Buying a car sight unseen is not for the faint of heart.

Not brand new but with 4,000 miles i didnt feel it was too much of a risk. The deal was too good

The “deal being too good” is a compelling incentive. The low mileage is a plus of course.
