And I have a carbon grille on the way too! F90 style (double slats). Twins!

I do carbon process myself these are OEM trims laminated real carbon with clear resin mate

I did F90 dual grill but then I wanted something different , see if you can spot something different in my new grill

And yes, I forgot to respond that I did see the difference! I really like the mirrored bias. How do you get the seam so perfect that no strands appear to overlap?is it one half piece across an alternate whole piece? Looks absolutely flawless.

Thanks for that, I'll give them a call.

Yea we did chat. Had a 330d then I think, then went to the 340i - 8 years with F31's thought it was time for an upgrade. G31 is a big jump in refinement and Size! Was going to go black but last two were so thought something different.

Hey Mate,

When you give them a call ask for Scott and say that Paul referred you I did the same for Kam and he got a deal on all of his bits from Sycamore.

Let me know if you need anything else.

Looking into springs, Dinan or Eibachs… how do you like the Eibachs? Comfort/performance/looks? And does your 550 have DHP?

Last month I traded in my 2019 Volvo for a 2018 M550i in Medi Blue with Ivory Napa, 70k KM. A buddy with 640GT have discouraged me for trading "down" but overall really happy with the purchase.

A little high on mileage indeed, but this is the combo I have been searching for a year now. Car was meticulously maintained and overall really healthy despite some cosmetic imperfections. Bought a 4-year, 80,000km warranty to go with it for a peace of mind. Am a happy man now and reminds me of the E92 M3 I had some years ago.
