Presenting my new M550...

MrRX34 · 07-02-2018, 10:44 AM

2018 M550i

Med Blue over Ivory White Nappa
Fineline Cove Wood Trim
20" M Wheels style 668M
Cold Weather Package
Driving Assistance
Driving Assistance Plus
Dynamic Handling
Luxury Seating
Power Rear and side sunshades
Gesture Control
Apple Car Play
Bowers & Wilkins system

Mods so far...
Gloss black kidney Grilles
Carbon Fiber Mirror Caps
Painted front reflectors

I'm gonna get spacers installed (15mm front and 20mm rear) and want to get rid of the gray side blade and front trim finishes.

Was thinking of getting them vinyl wrapped or painted using auto dip or plastidip, any suggestions?

Very nice indeed, the sun really brings out the best in that paint.

We don't get the 550 here in the U.K. so rather jealous...

Looks Great !

Excellent build... how do you like the carbon fiber mirror covers?

I have a Bluestone Metallic Msport and heavily considering ordering these but sometimes when I see black Mirror Caps or dark carbon it almost makes the mirrors disappear or have a mickey mouse ear look if you will... (not Knocking them - really considering them)

do you feel they disappear on the car or actually stand out ?

No 6WB display?

I just put the CF mirror caps on since I'm not a fan of the aluminum trim BMW decided to put on the M550i, I feel like it's a copy of the Audi S models.

On my car they don't stand out a whole lot but I'm sure with your Bluestone it would so I'd recommend it.

No since this wasn't a special order I just got it off the lot and it's one of only a couple features missing in the build.

I've seen both the dynamic and regular digital dash and didn't care much for the 6WB, wasn't a huge difference in my opinion.
