I bought this lovely car for some weeks ago and since I love retrofitting of original equipments, I´ve been done some mods already. The car is an 2015 F11 M550d Individual in Champagne Quartz metallic and Nutmeg Merino extended leather interior.
Things done/nearly done:
- OEM chrome grill
- UK sun visor without airbag lable
- B-pillar ambient light from F01 LCI
- M5 steering wheel cover
- Brushed aluminum interior trim
- Full leather merino door panels (will fit them next week)
- BMW Concierge services activation
- Gentlemans function from F01
- Removed mud flaps
- LED interior bulbs
- Coded xDrive-view with compass and video in motion
Planned mods:
- Black high gloss diffusor (delivered at the paintshop)
- Leather covered airbag (airbag at the saddler at the moment)
- Rear seat upper cover ambient light from F01 (ordered in Nutmeg merino leather from Individual, probably 8 weeks delivery time)
- Rear seat entertainment
- Stage 1 tuning
- 20" Style 601 M5 Competition wheels
- Maybe front splitters in black high gloss
- F01 door shocks (if possible)
- Individual Hellbraun interior trim (if anyone selling them, please let me know)
- Storage compartment package parts
- BMW sun blinds for the rear windscreen and "D-pillar"-windows
- F15 key fobs
- Use winter tires at the OEM M550d wheels
- Leather covered seat plastic
- Leather covered B-pillar
- Leather covered side panels for the dashboard
On the way home after purchase. Its not often I´ve driving behind my F01. Actually, I think it looks quite good! :P
Finally home!
Took off the winter tires immediately..
The result..
Took some pictures they day after in Oslo..
The city was empty due the Covid19 case..
Inside. I know the color is a "love" or "hate". I like it!
My good friend and member Walkabout have 601s on his F11. Tried this, and they sits like perfect.
Flush fitment without spacers
Was trying an OEM M5 LCI grill, but I didn't like the result, so I ordered the single slat grill instead. I replaced the black grill because it wasn't in good shape
And the airbag lable/badge gone
Gentlemans function
From this
To this
No more squeaky plastics
Since I hate scratches and dusts, I decided to replace the piano trim to brushed aluminium. I think the piano trim looks better imo..
B-pillar ambient lights retrofitted
The full merino leather door cards arrived. They are colored in nutmeg as we speak. They looks absolutely stunning
With single slat grill
