Spacers and blacked out emblems

Nothing big, but installed 20mm/15mm spacers, removed rear badging, and added a blacked out m550i emblem. I'm digging it.

Same here. 15/20mm spacers make a big difference in stance.

The blacked out emblems look really nice with that color and the shadow line tail lights. I'm usually partial to the standard BMW emblems just because that's what I paid for but yours look very complementary to the total package.

What impact, if any, do the spacers have on the way the car drives?

As long as you get quality spacers and check your lugs every now and then, the benefits are a slightly wider stance for better cornering and looks.

I've run spacers on almost every vehicle I've had and have had no issues.

The car looks great. Can you share where you purchased the emblems? The ones I’m finding online still have the chrome outer ring. I prefer the black like you have. Thanks.

Thank you for the information. How about roundels with the black trim instead of chrome?
I'm having a hard time finding those. Thanks.

I have someone that can do the set for $190, hood and trunk. He's on Insta if you're interested I can PM you his info. I got a set, looks flawless and he ceramic coats them too. Considering IND is OOS.

For reference:

Were they hard to remove? If heard you put a bunch of tape around then use a plastic tool to pry it up…that essentially correct?

They look amazing btw!

Thanks! 10 min mod, super easy, most of it is spent removing the old adhesive and cleaning the area. Totally worth it! Yes, painters tape and plastic putty tool/bondo spreader. INDs website is a good resource.
