Hey all, I'm just going to use this thread for updates on modifications to my 2019 Med Blue w/ mocha interior.

I've listed the options on this car below and my thoughts to date.

- Dynamic handling package (4/10 - Most of my driving is on urban streets so I haven't really had any need for this to date)
- Driving assistance Plus Package (8/10 - Amazing, much better than I thought it would be)
- Premium Package 2 (6/10 - I am yet to use gesture control and the Heads up display is ok. The wireless charging doesn't fit the new Iphone plus so it's moot for me.)
- Luxury Seating Package (7/10 - I've used these on long trips and have been great)
- Executive Package (9/10 - I have a small kid so the rear shades have been amazing. The soft close doors are kind of annoying because everyone has slammed the door shut unaware of the feature.)
- Parking Assistance Package (9/10 - Pretty great, especially the 3D surround)
- Remote Control Parking (1/10 - I don't know if I will ever use this.)

Day 2 - Tint and Calipers

I'm a big fan of Mediterranean Blue - I wish it was still an option.

New Mods this week (w/ Photos) for anyone interested:

- Fender M badges
- Carbon Emblems (Overlay)
- Red Start button (Most surprising difference, definitely a big improvement inside the cabin)
- BMW OEM Black Grill
- Carbon Fiber Brake Vent (Overlay)

I also attempted those door liners from Amazon for those that are familiar with them. They are awful. One of the worst products I've seen.

Nice 550i man! Any mods in stor for the future?

[drislanej]

Fender arch trims, mirror lights, mirror caps and front lip are waiting in my garage!!

How did you stick the fender vent overlays?

[drislanej]

Pretty simple, just used double sided tape. They fit pretty well. I ordered them from Monaco Motorsports but they didn’t actually send with any tape preinstalled.

New lip from Ikon Motorsports

Fitment - 0/10
Quality - 2/10

What kind of procedure did you use to fit the mirror caps out of interest?

[drislanej]

I popped out the glass and then removed the OEM mirrors via the two clips. It took some work, the OEM covers are a very snug fit. Fitting and removing the aftermarket part was a much easier operation.

Love these, highly recommend. Super easy to install. M Projector lights.

Resonator delete completed today at Hi-Flo Exhaust in Manassa, VA. Amazing, what a difference in sound. Best ROI for a mod I've ever done.
