Is this car a carbon black color? Looks great! Maybe an M bumper / front lip & eventually a rear diffuser?

Try eBay.

I ordered these for my vehicle:

I drive a 2019 540 with M package.

Confirm that these fit the non M package bumpers on your vehicle before purchasing.

Chrome delete around the windows. You have done a lot, be careful to not do too much when the motivation is "just because". Consideration though would be a more aggressive spoiler, side skirts, spacers. I would not bother trying to turn a 530 into an M-sport in terms of swapping out the bumpers. Sometimes it better to trade it in for what you want vs. chasing something the car isn't.

Thanks yeah I was thinking of doing that and later down the line trading it in for a m5 do you know what fitment on spacer would be good?

Spacers are really specific to the wheel you are running. Tape a string to the wheel well lip and a bolt or weight on the other end. Let it hang and then measure from your sidewall to the string in millimeters. That's a good start for the size you need.
