Good looking car!
As for mods, my personal preference is IND painted reflectors, blacked of painted side marker surround, and black kidneys. Previous owner(s) of my space grey 550i did black kidneys and painted side bit, I still need to sort the rear out. He also did a "wrap" on the door handle chrome, fits the car and me nicely. Congrats, I am going on a week of owning mine and and smiling every mile! Matt |

Congrats on the car, Space Gray is a great color! I also agree with the above poster regarding the color matching reflectors, black kidney grilles and painted side marker surrounds (though I prefer them matching the car rather than black). These are the most simple of mods that make a big difference visually.

Nice purchase and welcome. In terms of mods, depending how aggressive you wanna go then perhaps consider dual quad exhaust/tips and a more aggressive rear apron. But at the very least I would definitely go with black kidney grilles, side marker delete, and drop the bitch

Congrats! First since your windows already have the shadow trim I would follow that theme and black out any chrome accents. Upgrade those grills to gloss black double slat grills or single? Paint match the front reflector and I would upgrade the diffuser. Any exhaust mods planned or just leaving stock?

I also started this thread to see if it would be worth converting a single tip M Performance exhaust to dual tip to work with the new diffuser but no replies yet. This, I guess, would apply to your stock exhaust if you decide to stay with it and convert it to dual tip. Hopefully someone will chime in. My main concern is not so much if it will be possible with either of our setups but the loss of resale value in cutting into the existing exhaust tip etc..

Looks good!
That X-Drive emblem lasted approximately 20 secs after delivery of my car. Peeled it right off.
