FoxberryJam's Alpine White M550i

I had never posted any pics of my ride here on Bimmerpost, so I figured today would be a good day to do so...

I really like it. I think it looks sick. But why not wrap the fin also ?

Thanks! I actually like the contrast of the white fin against the black roof

Either way looks nice.
I wrapped my roof also. I have a 540 not the 550 like you. But I think the roof wrap gives it that extra sleek look.

It's currently just the factory rear diffuser. I wanted it wrapped with the roof but my shop wouldn't do it - so I'm trying to decide if I try and find another shop that will wrap it OR replace it with a black diffuser from IND…

Looks great! Be careful on NJ roads. I have busted many rims on I-287!

Car looks amazing and what a difference the black roof makes. I bought mine late last year with the same color and wheel spec.

I suggest switching the diffuser to something similar to mines. Much more aggressive .

@FoxberryJam for tint is that a 50 front 30 rear or is it all the same and the lighting is just making it appear different?

I see your in NJ. Are the cops strict with the tints there ? Do they pull people over for that ?

I have 30% all around in NY where it's light enough to not have any issues. I feel like they only mess with people with 20% or less.

Nah they typically don't bother with tinting this light
