Just installed it now in about 5 minutes.
Before and after...opinions?

Next mod is the carbon rear spoiler and then I'll hopefully add front and rear splitters / diffusers. I'm also mildly interested in the carbon wing mirrors but I'm worried they'll stand out too much...thoughts?

looks great, I did the same. Also added front lip spoiler, rear CF wing and CF diffuser to the rear, which requires a different lower bumper trim, came as a "kit" off ebay.

I've used DM Autoteile a number of times in the past but they only offer the basic rear diffuser... The kit includes front and rear spoilers / diffusers, side skirt blades, and rear spoiler with all parts to install it. https://www.dm-autoteile.de/Set-Spor...G31-M-Sport-17 €823.50 ($922) for the complete kit plus €650 ($727) to have it all painted gloss black. Thoughts or should I get the two part rear diffuser and/or go carbon. (Well over twice the cost unless I go non-OEM), then I'm not entirely sure....

I went the CF route because it blends together so well with my DGM paint and I preferred to stick with OEM parts. If I had a black car I would probably gone with gloss back with OEM parts.

After reading all of your black vs. CF posts on a black car you are swaying over to the dark side!

Shame about my neighbours car but it looks so much better from this angle in the daylight. Very pleased now! 😁

Perfection. I have had my Carbon Black 540d for a year and have been on the fence about it. You just made up my mind!

Do your grills louvre open? Does the replacement grills you installed interfere with them?

No, not at all. The open/close mechanism sits behind the grill and the new grills are like for like against the chrome ones.

Anyone know where I can find the trim piece that goes above the fog light in gloss black? I only see them for sale in carbon fiber
so anyone recommend putting a roof spoiler on the back windshield and where to get one? |
