Looks like a good fit! I would probably prefer it painted to match the body as my car is darker but it looks nice. Does it have a quality feel or is it somewhat flimsy?

The plastic is good quality and very flexible.
I think you can't go wrong for $150.

How'd the install go? Was it difficult? And did it require drilling into the stock bumper?

It took me about 30min.
Lifting up the front of the car will help a lot . The lip is attached to the bumper with screws from the bottom and double stick tape around the air vents. There is 8 screws in total but only two in the middle are drilled as new .

not bad, not bad.

I can't seem to find anyone selling the proper rear diffusor bumper trim for M550. The upper bumper trim is different for M550. I ordered one and the exhaust cut out do not fit the M550 tips. Had to return it.

Will this work for a regular sport 2018 540xi or will it have to be M-sport specifically?

The side skirts are probably fine I don’t know if his are oem but those vinyls are not like the oem, none are from eBay but that’s if you really care.. I bought OEM vinyls myself n at that point the oem side skirts were just another $130. The non oem m performance vinyls are all off in either shape, quality or printing/placement of the logo.. BMW parts hub has great deals plus you can get 5% off if. You just leave you register n leave your cart. You can get the stock sides for less than $300 so I figured I’d go for it paid about $400 with the vinyls plus you should be able to sell it in the future for more than you would replicas.
