Just took delivery of my new 2016 550i M-Sport

2019msportx7 · 08-27-2016, 10:01 PM

Hey guys,

Traded in my 2015 F80 6MT M3 because I wanted something smooth, fast, and with 4 doors. Finally settled on the '16 550i M-Sport, and have been very happy with it.

Had the windows tinted 15% ceramic all around with 80% AirBlue on windshield.

I bought Alpine White, and the car is at the shop now getting wheels powdercoated black. Mods to come are: roof will be gloss black wrap, IND gloss black grill, IND front and rear reflectors in AW, side markers in black, M-Performance carbon fiber rear spoiler with Alpine White CRT line around it.

550i with the M3 on trade-in day:

Very nice looking ride. The black wheels and roof in black should look awesome. Keep us posted!

lsturbointeg · 08-27-2016, 11:24 PM

congrats!

add black grills to the list! the chrome is burning my eyes! i only say black since you said you're getting your wheels powder coated black

.BMW. · 08-28-2016, 02:36 AM

Looks great!

Congrats.

xxpanipuri · 08-28-2016, 02:39 AM

Congrats! I cross shopped the m3 before buying my 550, glad I got it! The m3 was a beast but didn't care for the stiff suspension on our crappy Bay Area roads!

DDD31 · 08-28-2016, 08:17 AM

Congratulations!!!

Awesome color too!!!

I loved the M3, but in this season of my life wanted something smoother that was still fast. The general roughness of the M3 was too much for me for a daily driver.

Cheers!

2019msportx7 · 08-31-2016, 07:31 PM

Just got a photo from the dealership, the wheels just came back from powdercoat!

35mphgolf · 08-31-2016, 07:47 PM

Was your 5 new or used? What kind of deal did you get if you don't mind me asking?

well in that case -

TTG · 08-31-2016, 08:37 PM

Congrats!

I also got a killer deal on the 535 and made to move when I had no intention of buying a new car.

PS: What are you going to do about the tires. People have been posting horror stories on the LS2s the car came with.

I got a set of 17" 236 style rims with OEM tires. I think my car will be rolling on those for the most time.

.BMW. · 09-01-2016, 12:47 AM

Black wheels looks great on AW cars!

2019msportx7 · 09-09-2016, 08:18 PM

Hey guys finally finished the customization of the 550! Here's a list of mods done:

- Gloss black powdercoat wheels

- ceramic tint - 15% all around , 80% airblue on windshield

- 3M gloss black wrap on roof, door handles, headlight eyelids, and lower front bumper

- IND parts - alpine white front and rear reflectors, black LCI side markers, black front grill, and carbon fiber rear spoiler with alpine white CRT stripe

- Gloss black 550i emblem

I'm loving the car and having a ton of fun with it!!
