Looks great. Do you have a link to the BMW trunk mat? I could not find it online for the M550.

Do you have plans for the wheels?

Thank you. I plan to either get Vossen or Variant 20's soon.

Thanks for the link. For the life of me I couldn't find the OEM one for the M550 with spare. I already pulled the trigger on WeatherTech. A few bucks cheaper but I would have gone for this one. Interior winter mats are a different story. Definitely would be WeatherTech but I don't drive this car in the winter.

No problem. I'm sure the WeatherTech mat will serve your purposes well.

The car looks nice man - noticed that you are in Colorado, I'm in the Westiminster\Broomfield area. Where you at?

BCB182 · 06-03-2021, 06:35 PM

Looks great, love the black/carbon accents on that paint color!!

Joe-BMW33 · 06-04-2021, 07:16 AM

Yes, it looks good. Great call on the paint correction, I could tell from the first few before pictures you posted it needed it badly (swirls). Don't love the spoiler but that's just me. A lot of people that do what you did black out the amber reflectors on the front and rear.

Looking at this mat again, do you have a spare? It looks like it is for trunks without a spare?
