Whilst I agree it's shit thing to wrap it, Matte black is in and thus will sell. Not rocket science, and as Rich pointed out if you paint it and scratch it your fucked no polishtricks. But I guess if you scratch it you get a whole new panel done all in one go garunteed colour match?! Not all bad.

Oh and I'm sure Ford g.a.f tha the guy broke the deal off and sold it to one of the many people who understand what it is and want it. I see where he's coming from but that's a bit silly

I'd cancel an order simply on the basis that there not fitting the UK ones with the lovely red recaro's!

What exactly's the extra 10k paying for?

The black ones are very nice though Colin and I'm not a fan of black interiors!

I would have thought the black would be a bit like the Performance blue RS.......quite descrete & not anywhere near as pleasing to the eye as the white or green. i.e. not looking like anything special.

I'll take a Green one any day of the week over the 500!!

Dont even get the lovely red recaro's, which to me on the proto-mule ws the biggest selling point....Pah.....what a disappointment!

You should do it for him...

I'd defo remove the wrap from mine, I think it would look a million times better shiney anyway and give it a more aggressive look on the road too

As already said, not all the M BMW's are painted matt, the two in my local showroom are wrapped.
