Alpine White 540I Xdrive M sport
I bought this car a year old in April of 2018. I have done a few things to it since but wanted to share with everyone all the progress pictures.

M performance style parts in gloss black. Front splitter with bottom lip only, side skirt extensions & rear diffuser. I also retrofitted M sport brakes. You can see the diameter difference in the front rotors.

Last but not least! New tires Michelin Pilot Sport 4s. 255/35/21 up front & 295/30/21 on the rears.
Gloss black 540i emblem, slightly different font, like the M550I font. Also got oem floating center caps that always stay upright.

Very nice! Well thought out add ons.
Also, good job on the wheels/tires! They turned out perfect and don't think you could have a better wheel/tire set up. It's not too slammed or too low looking, but you got rid of the big fender gap. Well done!

I typically use sonax wheel cleaner, let them soak for 3-5 minutes then power wash. For a quick wash that's good enough sometimes. Otherwise I have to get in there with a soft detailing brush.

Thank you! Got it from Ebay. Fitment is 100% the only thing is it's only compatible with stock 530i & 540i exhaust tips. Will not fit with M550i exhaust tips or m performance exhaust tips.

Bought a 2018 M550XI. Going to be moving most of the parts over to the new car. I will be selling the rear diffuser because it won't fit on the new car.

Love everything you did with the white 540 - thats the spec i'm shooting for once it's ready to buy. I see you're in Canada, how is the vinyl roof holding up? I was thinking about doing that same mod if I can find the White spec. Also did you find black kidney grills to replace or did you paint?
