ink is dry on the deal, so here are a couple of quick parking lot pictures of the new ride.

2019 540i x drive
m sport package
driver assistant plus package
shadow line trim

immediate plans are to address a few issues that came up on the PPI. rear brake rotors, flex disc, and repaint the front bumper.

after that, a really good detailing complete with paint correction and ceramic coating.

then i’ll order some reflector deletes and black grilles from IND.

beyond that i’m thinking rear diffuser, trunk spoiler, and side skirts.

engine and suspension will probably () say stock since this will be my daily driver.

Nice car. For cosmetics, you might consider the M-Performance-style front spoiler/canards and the rear diffusor. They look great in person.

I went with them, but did not go OEM, as I didn't want the carbon to get trashed on Medieval Belgian and French roads. And it would ...

i’m on the fence about a front lip. the roads here in ct/ny are no better than i’d imagine your medieval roads are. rear diffuser is a definite though.

Congrats! I read the update in your other thread re: PPI. You did well and sounds like you're well on your way to get it back in top shape.

I am from NY originally, so I understand.

Very nice and congrats again. Looks like someone did a chrome delete already on the bumper pork chops and the fender vents. Surprised they didn't do the grill. Lots of threads here with pictures of diffusers and spoilers. I'll spare you mine, you will see it many times in those threads, lol.

I'd recommend the OEM ///M Performance gloss black grill. From someone who has a garage full of grills (including knock-offs), the //M Performance fits the best and looks the best. It can be had discounted it you are savvy. I am with you on the splitter, it will just get eaten alive.

Since we have the same color, I went with this film on the reflectors. I went into it thinking for $10-$15 bucks, if I don't like it, I'll go IND. Works for me in taking the edge off.

thanks joe. appreciate the link

what spoiler do you have on the trunk? that looks like the perfect height to finish off the rear.

M5 CS from RW Carbon. The diffuser also fits the stock tips.
