I realized there's much much room to play around with the car because it's 1) not M-sport and 2) LCI
go with the carbon fiber version of the Emblems especially your car is silver! for the 550 emblems either plastidip them black or order them carbon fiber or black. anything else than Hamann for your lip that's available?

That's a good point with the black/CF 550i emblems. I always had mixed feelings with the CF emblems. The silver CF looks odd. I haven't seen it on a silver car before.

It's not so bad. Plus from a distance it'll look Black/white because it'll be hard to find the weave. I'll do that then with a CF "550i"

Thanks for all the help. My family and I are a lexus family and this is my first BMW

haha CONGRATS! this is my first BMW too but i learned alot from just whoring around the threads here LOL you'll like the carbon fiber version just because i think it looks sooo much better than just the white/black emblems. what about your grill you decide on that yet? carbon, dual slats, single, matte/gloss black?

Haha same here! I used to lurk around Bimmerfest, but then I found this one and love it! It's more in depth of the F10 series than on Bimmerfest. I also love the app for it!

Exactly. More diversity in every aspect. I can't wait to get my car back though. It's in the shop because someone hit it so it's getting repaired

It's just painful considering the car is fairly new and I detailed it the day before.

They said about $5k because they will have to replace the door panel for the driver and they can fix the passenger door, front and back fender, back bumper, and the back wheel. But I'm going to be picky. The car HAS to be perfect otherwise they will have to fix it until it's perfect.

The accident wasn't my fault so the other guy's insurance is paying for it.

Welcome! Here is a link to my car it is titanium silver but close enough, I have the CF black and silver bmw emblems. I think they look very nice and match carbon fiber accessories.
