Was only available in 2021 for LCIs due to covid supply chain issues. Makes yours a rare one.

Great spec and modifications! Until I saw your post I thought I was the only M550i owner with cerium grill and fender inlets together with mirror caps in body color which I think looks perfect together. Although I did go the other way around and ordered the car without shadow line and asked Bmw individual manufaktur to paint them for me.

Mine is a 21 model year and you could choose more freely among extras at that time so I got the shadow headlights without having to order shadow line. And I got the B&W which actually looks better than it sounds.

Car looks great! Do you think that the configurator image of Phytonic matches the actual color? To me the configurator makes it look lighter blue than it actually is.

Edit… went by a dealer today and saw 3 cars in Phytonic blue. Very nice color the configurator makes it look too light.

congrats, looks amazing! Completely back your retrofitting of the cerium grill and side vents, though encourage you to do the mirrors too

In the UK you could only get shadowline lights after LCI, but I think they work perfectly with the cerium, but I'm biased

Always crucial to see it in person, goes for any color. The config color is maybe that in direct sunlight, which is never going to cover the entire car. The config is pretty good at showing all of the shades based on light though
