Although the idea of rattle-canning the top of a brand new car does sound tempting. Only if its flat black though!

Kidding...

mjovic, I'm not a big fan of the paint scheme. But, while the two-tone thing is not for me, I can see it working on the 1er. You seem to have used the horizontal character line as the transition point from white to black. This takes a lot of the visual character of the car away, as this crease is important. As such, the car looks bland and relatively shapeless.

I would ditch the flames on the hood (make the whole hood black) and find a way to accent the car (no flames, though) towards the rear. Maybe something to emphasize the Holfmeister kink in the rear quarter window - just a thought.

I'm not a fan of the 2-tone look. however, here is some constructive criticism:
--Solid 2-tone looks better than with "swishes", provides a more pimp daddy look than ricer look
--How about changing white and black to silver and black? I saw a 2-tone black on silver AC Schnitzer M6 Tension from CEC wheels (check their gallery at www.cecwheels.com for it) that looked decent.
