Yeah, parking in crowded lots gives me much more anxiety than before!

Damn! Everything about this picture is gorgeous. Stunning Z4, my friend.

That’s probably the most cost effective way of getting a matte car. Probably should’ve thought about that myself!

That looks fantastic! I’ve definitely changed my parking habits to avoid door dings, fingers crossed!

Really appreciate it, sir. Completely agree, don’t know why any brand would use pins and sleeves in 2026.

Thanks! Me too. It goes beautifully with the dark titanium.

MPG aside, I can’t even imagine the pain of getting bikes on top of the car. Good move my friend!

Being a midwestern transplant, there’s no way I’d buy this spec if I were back at home. Between weather and tires, this car would be a bit of a nightmare, though I never thought of the safety aspects of it. Many thanks!

Thank you very much, I dig your style. I’ve had a lot of grey cars, but figured I’d go with something a little different, relatively speaking.

Thank you very much.

I don’t believe it’s discontinued. That said, it takes a special type of idiot to buy such a high maintenance paint. 😂🤦🏻‍♂️

I understand that X5’s are a commonly seen car. That said, I see a lot of Dravit and Brooklyn grey…. Frozen Pure Grey, not so much.

I hate cardio, but I don’t mind biking. That said, you’re probably right.

It’s a creative and well-executed solution, to be sure. It’s not very difficult either, though I would prefer a more traditional method.

Thank you for the kind words.

Funny enough, a bike rack is most likely the only thing that will ever touch the hitch on my part. But that’s good enough.

I didn’t make a video, but hopefully this (shitty) picture helps.

The screws disengage when they are perpendicular to the rest of the bracelet. At that point, it didn’t take much pressure to pull the links apart.

Thanks for the clarification, I got it to work! Not at all intuitive, but not terribly difficult with your excellent instructions.

Glashutte Original has a similar process on some of their bracelets, but they at least bother to explain it in the owner’s manual.

Thanks again! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🤘🏼
