2017 530e Carbon Black / Cognac

hulkk · 06-06-2021, 02:00 PM

Got my first BMW this week! It is with ALL factory options possible!

Carbon Black exterior and Dakota Cognac interior.

Attached pictures are the starting point. Would love to hear feedback and suggestions.

Plans:

remove 530e/eDrive badges - DONE
exterior detailing with ceramic coating - DONE
retrofit lci tail lights - DONE
full interior detailing - Partly done
tint tail reflectors?
black chrome tail pipe trims?
add M Sport badges?
change/paint wheels to ”silver” colour to add contrast - Next winter?

Great spec!

Unfortunately the local dealer said that the lci tail lights are delayed, we'll see if they arrive in august.

Lovely combo. CB is my alltime favorite colour

Would def add silver wheels. Those M550i wheels look spectacular.
No M-badging IMO.

Keeps us posted!

Superb combo

Lci tail lights have arrived today to local dealer. Installation is booked for thursday.

Tail light installation was done yesterday. Very happy with the results. Euro-car + Euro-lights.

Car software was upgraded to 7/2021 and everything seems to be working without errors.

Next black chrome tail pipe trims?
