How easy was fitting?

It's a strange one, is hours jet black or carbon black?
Mine is carbon black, and in direct sunlight it sometimes looks a little odd having black grills on a black/blue car but I'm happy with it! Looks mean as hell when looking from the front dead on

Fitting wasn't too bad, I removed the top rubber strip, unscrewed all of the bolts and pulled the top of the bumper forward best I could. Little bit of a pain getting the original ones out but the others clipped in fine

Carbon Black here too.

Will definitely give it a go anyway. the car is hardly ever clean enough for it to be too blue even under direct sunlight!

Also, with the darker wheels on mine it may be different.

those black grills will look great on carbon black so as long as it's not CHROME!

Just picked up an LCI 530d M Sport in carbon black with oyster leather and a few nicely specced options such as high beam assist, adaptive headlights, H/K, adaptive cruise, pro media etc and so far loving it!

Coming from a 2013 Audi S5 it's nice to get 600 miles from a tank which I achieved last week!

Got a few mods planned such as BMW performance grills, 20" alloys and possibly a drop in ride height. Also may have a remap to take it to similar power as my stock S5 was.

Any hints or tips will be greatly appreciated although this isn't my first F10 nor my first BMW for that matter!

Congrats ! Just added a '16 535i xdrive to my garage today its Mediterranean Blue with Ivory White interior, carbon fiber splitter and spoiler on the way I also am looking for some 20's

Issue for me is the wing chrome insert and the door handles

Probably need to wrap them once the grills are installed as they will be the only light/shiny bits left.

[DanChapman90]

I don't mind the chrome so much on the wing and door handles as I have silver wheels.
I think I'd black them out if I had darker wheels though, for a more stealth look!

Love the Med blue, M6Pilot! Ivory interior will compliment very well

Hi Dan, Welcome although a little bit late, just had a week away driving on the wrong side over in Germany. Car is looking very nice. There are some exterior styling mods out there and Lowering the car is easier for you with the F10, several options out there.

if your struggling with wheels have a look on BM Autosport

Thanks Steve, yours looks beautiful! Really like the wheels although I think they only do black and dark grey in that range?

What does it say on the bottom of your number plate surround? I've got some plain ones on at the minute but I'd like to find something a bit different

Looks very similar to mine!
Where did you get your front plate from buddy? I presume it's road legal with it being pressed? Fancy a shorter one like I had on my last 5er

Yep, all road legal and reflective with required markings.

Bought from Autostyle on eBay. Couldn't get the very shortest as my car had holes from self tappers already so needed to cover these. I got away with the 460mm ones.
