dick midnight’s new ride
ink is dry on the deal, so here are a couple of quick parking lot pictures of the new ride.
2019 540i x drive m sport package driver assistant plus package shadow line trim immediate plans are to address a few issues that came up on the PPI. rear brake rotors, flex disc, and repaint the front bumper. after that, a really good detailing complete with paint correction and ceramic coating. then i’ll order some reflector deletes and black grilles from IND. beyond that i’m thinking rear diffuser, trunk spoiler, and side skirts. engine and suspension will probably () say stock since this will be my daily driver.

Congrats! I read the update in your other thread re: PPI. You did well and sounds like you're well on your way to get it back in top shape.

Very nice and congrats again. Looks like someone did a chrome delete already on the bumper pork chops and the fender vents. Surprised they didn't do the grill. Lots of threads here with pictures of diffusers and spoilers. I'll spare you mine, you will see it many times in those threads, lol.
I'd recommend the OEM ///M Performance gloss black grill. From someone who has a garage full of grills (including knock-offs), the //M Performance fits the best and looks the best. It can be had discounted it you are savvy. I am with you on the splitter, it will just get eaten alive. Since we have the same color, I went with this film on the reflectors. I went into it thinking for $10-$15 bucks, if I don't like it, I'll go IND. Works for me in taking the edge off. https://www.ebay.com/itm/183962630992

what spoiler do you have on the trunk? that looks like the perfect height to finish off the rear. |

M5 CS from RW Carbon. The diffuser also fits the stock tips.
