520d M Sport Styling Upgrade Project (alloys, spoiler etc)
I bought this car fully intending to completely changing the way it looks, the standard MSport just didn't look aggressive enough for me.
This is how it started out.... It just looked dreary, So I stuck some tints on..... MSport Boot Lip Spoiler next looking better Finally the big change... decided it to drop it and get some new shoes for it. H&R Springs - dropped 35mm 20" Niche Essen Alloys in Matt Black Really happy with the way it looks now, just need to get a roof spoiler and matt black kidney grills. Also the lip spoiler and roof spoiler in black? or silver |

i was abit worried tbh, but the ride is still pleasant. its much more firmer and road noise is more noticeable but its much more involving to drive. as long as you wrap the alloys in mid or top range rubber i think its a safe bet. i went with falken

Nice rims! And I really like the profile of the rubber you're running. What's the setup?
My 2c on the roof spoiler is to go body colour as it gives the vehicle a unique and classy line.

Good to see London Fella.
Are you associated to Projex by any chance? Also, do you mind sharing how much you paid for those wheels?

Like those wheels.
I am contemplating with the idea of buying silver as my car is Grey. Ended up buying Ispiri ISR6! Awaiting for my car body shop to do certain things and then I will get the car back.

Great job really changed the whole look with wheels and tint. Looks like all your neighbors enjoy BMW's too.

Cool f10, but shouldn't the roof spoiler be blacked out too.
