2011 550i - Reborn

Just got it back from the shop and detailed, so it's ready for viewing.

Here's what I did so far:

Interior - M-sport steering wheel trim, M-sport 6mt shifter knob, M-sport foot rest, carbon/black BMW wheel emblem

Dinan - suspension, exhaust, and stage 3 software

Rims - BBS 20" CH-R titanium

Exterior - front M-sport bumper kit, M-sport side skirts, blacked out grills, painted fender trim black, blacked out bumper reflectors, carbon/black BMW emblems, painted chrome door handle trim black

I think that's it. I just ordered the rear M-sport bumper kit and the new M5 rear diffuser. Was waiting on the rear kit until I could source that diffuser. Will update pics once that is installed.

Thanks to everyone for the advice, input, and feedback.

Nice! Good to see another Stage 3 owner.

The M5 diffuser won't fit the Dinan exhaust, btw. I ordered one a few months ago before taking delivery. After the exhaust was mounted I tried. BMW moved the tips closer in. Just FYI.

How much was it off by? I was planning to just have the pipes bent a bit.

It's minimal - within an inch or so. I didn't try to force it, but it was different enough to prevent the piece from fitting.

Thanks for all the comments. I'm really happy with the way everything came out.

Special thanks to Scott at Dinan for the motivation, Evan at Tischer for the body kit, LACSTER for the advice, Greenwich BMW for the Dinan work, Lobalbo Bros for the body work, Hendrik at Baan Velgen for the rims, JBSpeed for the emblems and black reflectors, FruitCake for the front tires, and Rawyzf for helping me sell my 19" tires to help defray some of the cost (Rawyzf - there's your referral fee!).

Cool - that sounds workable. I'll make it my mission to make it fit!!! The little details seem to make all the difference.

I really like the wheels. Nicest BBS wheels I have seen on an F10.

Your car looks the business man. Good stuff. But yea that rear couldn't come quick enough if you ask me. Looks to understated in the back compared to the rest. But nevertheless badass

Yeah, I hear you. Too many mods at once made my head spin. Wanted to get the tips in before deciding what to do with the rear. Didn't want to have to do it twice and waste money. Give me 2-3 weeks and I promise I'll try not to disappoint!

Thanks. Spent 3 days online looking at about 50 options before picking them. Baan Velgen special ordered them for me and hooked me up through eBay.
