Was in the local dealer with the wife who is deciding on a new set of wheels when I noticed a fully specced 530 g30 with the M Performance kit. White with the stickers n all.

Was a bit taken with the front spoiler, diffuser and side sills.

Anyone know if this can go on a M550i or better still has seen one with the kit on?

The kit will fit the M550i without issue. The M550i has essentially the same body kit as an M Sport, except for the lack of foglights, and the cerium grey coloured trim on the mirrors, grille, side vents and lower bumper vents. The actual bumpers, side sills etc are identical, and this is what is important for fitting the M Performance kit.

Here is my 540i which I fitted M performance front, sides and rear diffuser to

Sorry abit off topic, after reading your post, now I know the matte grey trims, namely the mirror caps, grille and the bumper trims is called Cerium Grey. I only see these trims on the M550i and I find it very nice.

I ordered a 530i M Sport in Carbon Black and I also ordered the cerium grey trims to replace the gloss black pcs on the car to give it the color contrast and I find it looks very nice indeed.

Thats correct - Cerium Grey is M550i's signature (and M550d in those countries where its available). It looks good against dark colours. Black trim looks better on light colours.

I forgot to mention, the M550i has bigger exhaust tips but the M Performance rear diffuser will accommodate it because it has bigger openings to go with the M Performance optional exhaust. So the whole kit can indeed be fitted to an M550i without any modifications.

Thanks guys, I'm really considering this, I think that he it really adds to the stance of the car. will give a month or so until the weather gets better and combine with putting the summer wheels on.
