New pics will be going up soon.

Added on:

-Quad Laser Interceptor heads
-Beltronics STiR+ Radar Detector

Have on Hand, but not yet installed:

-Eibach Pro Racing Springs
-BMS N63 Stage 1 Tune (had it installed, but took it out to take my car to the dealership to get my fuel injectors replaced. Will reinstall once weather picks back up)


Planned:

-Paint matching side reflectors from JBSPEED ($80)
-Black & White BMW logos from JBSPEED ($80)
-Swap out fogs with HIDs to get rid of the yellow tint ($75?)
-LCI M5 grille with tri-colore stripes from IND ($450)
-Trunk Spoiler, preferable a carbon spoiler one ($150)
-Rear M-Sport bumper w/ Carbon Fiber diffuser ($650ish)
-Vossen CV3 or CV5 ($2500)


Considering:

-Vinyl wrapping the entire car matte white. Not sure how I'd like it, but I kind of want to do it for the winter. ($2500+)
-Swapping out my inside bulbs with HIDs so they aren't yellow.... ($300?)
-Increasing tint from 30% to 20% all around ($100)


Will keep you guys updated.

About to order a M5 rear bumper off eBay for around $500. If it works out, I'll also get a Carbon Fiber rear diffuser and color matching front/rear reflectors.

It's hard to find a F10 M5 LCI front grille without the M5 badge. Anyone have a list of places where I can buy one?

Also planning on picking up a carbon fiber rear trunk spoiler. About $125 off eBay, so it's a cheap upgrade.

I did them myself on my old 3-series, but I got them done by the guy vinyling the rest of my car. I vinyled my chrome F10 grille, but the colors don't go well with the chrome.

Agreed! Goes really well with the matte black grill! Looks like all you need is the carbon fiber rear spoiler now!

Also got the M colors vinyl rapped on my grille. Also had a CF front lip installed.
Wrap colour looks good from what we can see But is it just me or is that lip pointing towards the sky? Doesn't look quite right and doubt the intended aerodynamic principles would work if that's the case.

Lip is flat, just the angle of the pictures. I am contemplating wrapping the entire car in a matte white finish and having the color contrasting black as well.

Now I have a good idea of how my car will look like in a few weeks with 351's on.
