The cerium mirrors show bugs like nothing you have ever seen before and will gross her out. Search this forum for pics and cleaning tips - she will need them!
The sDrive30i comes with chrome-looking (BMW refers to them as satin Aluminum trim) grill surrounds unless you order the Shadowline Package for $300. The cerium is a little more grey. I ruled out getting the M40i because I didn't like the exhaust nozzles and the cerium bits (and maybe the $10,000 bump ). Exhaust pipes are pipes and pipes are round! Also, the beauty of a women is set off by some sparkling jewelry - in this case a car with chrome accents (bright silver). spta97's girlfriend has good taste (not 80's - timeless!).

For those looking to do the replacement work outlined in this thread, here is a place you can get some cheap trim tools. https://ind-distribution.com/collect...or-install-kit
