What mods will suit that baby?
Hello, guys! First of all, I want to say that I am very new to the BMW world and have recently became an owner of this fantastic 2012 White F10. Initially, I told myself that I won't make a lot of changes, but now I am thinking what might suit the car to improve its overall look.
I will be honest by saying that I really prefer the stock look rather than some black rims and grills. I believe that with that chrome it looks much more luxurious. Correct me if I am wrong, but this is one of the main attributes to the 5th series. I also really like the stock rims. However what bothers me is the exhaust pipes. I want it to be symmetrical and most probably will make it look like 535 with dual exhaust, although I should most probably put a black diffuser, which will not go along very well with the car. Almost to forgot, I am defiantly putting an M-sport fron bumer! So what are your suggestions? I will appreciate your honest opinion. |

The diffuser on the non-M Sports isn't replaceable. The bumper must be cut and then a diffuser fitted. Not an easy prospect, but it has been done.
Likewise, the exhaust will have to be fabricated to make it a dual set-up. |

I'm confused? You said you really like the stock look...so why ask for mods?

Well you can still make some mods and keep the car stock. Maybe I didn't express myself well, but I prefer OEM parts. As I said, my plan is to first replace the front bumper and probably the rear with an M-sport, which is a BMW available option. Just saying that I am not much of a fan of aftermarket mods. I want to keep the car looking like it came out of the factory as much as I can, because afterwards it's also easier to sell it.

Stock is they way the car came, mods are changes made from stock, so no you can't have both.
But we understand you now. You can mod the front and rear bumpers that way, the exhaust may be possible but you'll have to get creative, like replacing from the mid section back with a 535i or 550i exhaust. |

On the other side, I really can't decide if that black on white look of the stock M5 with grills, trims and wheels will actually look good at all on that vehicle....... |

Here's the Remus exhaust for your car which will require no modifications

we both have the same Non M so the only body parts of the car I upgraded was the rear bumper and the side skirts. I liked the front bumper as is since I really liked the 3D carbon fiber front lip

I believe the correct terminology for your taste would be OEM+
