My 2018 M550i

SctsOut06 · 08-21-2021, 07:57 PM

Hi all,

Been a minute since I've been in the BMW world - had a handful of different things since the last one I owned. Good to be back though!

Absolutely loving this M550i. A few pics to show a handful of things I've done so far.

12mm spacers front / 17.5mm rear
BM3 93 Stage 1 tune
Black mirrors
Wrapped spoiler
Wrapped eyebrow trim

First picture is how I brought her home from the dealership…subsequent are after a handful of cosmetic mods.

As much as I try to get use to the LCI G30 that I have, still love the pre-LCI head lights 100x more. Looks great!

Looks sharp but now you almost have to add the side skirt extenders to match

You have read my mind!!!

I mean, it's only a logical choice!

And probably a rear diffuser 🤣

A few updates…

-Gloss black side skirts
-body colored reflectors
-rear diffuser (need to wrap the top piece to match now)
-vinyl roof wrap

maDjzo · 10-09-2021, 03:46 PM

Looking great! I might wrap my roof soon too, every time I see it I like it more!

I have my roof wrapped also and I feel like it helps give it a more unique look.
Your car looks nice and I know it's about preference, but I do think you need the fin and rails wrapped to keep the lines cleaner.

Don't disagree at all. Will probably do that when I re-wrap to fix the couple of spots I'm not happy with.

I was super paranoid to remove the fin and reattach-I would hate to get a water leak.

Def do the roof wrap. I have mine wrapped and it's such a subtle but distinct detail that gives the car uniqueness. I even have my sharkfin wrapped black. Not sure if you can tell in the pic. I should go take a pic from the back.

Just swapped my iridium silver or whatever it's called grille to the gloss black as well. 55 bucks on Amazon and 2.3 minutes to swap

Debating gloss blacking my side vents and those silver things below the headlights too.

curious to know if you notice any difference in handling at all with the spacers on there?

I was as well but I found a reputable spot that had all high end cars with wrap work so I knew I was in good hands.
