Painting it will also lower your resale value.

I want to do the same I have white N would do a black roof = bad ass. Possible side mirrors too!

Chewy734 · 03-24-2010, 07:53 PM

Definitely do it... get it done glossy black!

I've had no regrets getting mine done, and it looks great!

if your going to do it, do the mirrors and put black wheels, maybe a black m3 spoiler and itd be pure sex

My friend is thinking of doing it to her white 335i when she saw how good it looked on her friend's white C350. If I had a white car, I'd do it. On my silver 335i...no so much. White and arguably red are the only colors it looks good on.

Im thinking of putting a "Landau roof" and some "Opera lights" on mine!
