Looks sharp! How hard was to replace those mirror caps ?

Looks awesome, love the white-black contrast.

Sidr skirts look pretty good too. How did you DIY?

I did not replace them - I did the plastic dip - much cheaper and easier.

When you to Home Depot purchased these:
1. PVC Composite White Flat Utility Trim Moulding
2. Black spray paint
3. Self-tapping screws
4. Sandpapers
5. 3M double-sided tape
5. Start cutting, sanding, test fit with tapes, paint it black, installed

Overall - it wasn't too bad at all

Smart idea!

I ordered OEM mirror caps from BMW 100 each and I'm gonna have my shop paint them gloss black for 20 bucks both.

Nice - please post pictures once done - would love to see it.

Do you plan on painting the rear lower bumper cover too since it's the only piece that's something other than black and white? Easy removal, two corner screws, then with some straight back/level pull pressure, it pops off easily. Did mine to finish the red/black conversion.

That looks GREAT man!!!

yes - I am planning on painting the rear lower bumper cover. Will have to wait until it's a little warmer here in Colorado - your looks great!
I need to do a muffler upgrade or straight-pipe. I'm not sure yet because I don't want it to be tooooo lound!

How hard is it to take off that rear diffuser

[Rotherd31]

Like I said, just two screws on the underside of it at each corner lip. Once those are removed, start at one end, one hand at the upper outer edge, the other at the bottom just in from the edge and start pulling straight back towards you at a level angle and it will pop free from the tabs. Then just continue to work along from that side to the other. Really just a two minute job. Don't worry about breaking anything and you will need a fair amount of "tug" to break it free.

It's the stock lower panel on the M550i.

Sorry but I was referring to the trunk spoiler, not the bottom valance. Appreciate it.

[Rotherd31]

My CF rear spoiler is M Performance Pro model. I just went on the site, but couldn't find it listed. They show one that is listed as the large version, but the photos have me wondering if it's the same one. When I bought mine for my 2018 550 it was specifically named the Pro model.

[Rotherd31]

Ind has it listed.

You try white for the front reflectors? Might clean up the side of the bumper some. Otherwise, looks great.

Agreed with you, but to be honest I like the black contrast
