Transformation of my 2011 550i (Work in Progress)
So just thought I'd make a post cataloging the change of my 2011 550i. I have the pictures listed by the dealer as well as the ones I took myself on the very first day I got it and after every single mod. Just thought it could be used by others to mod their F10s.
Attached are the pictures I took the very first day I got the car. I have more if anyone wants something from a specific angle.

Pics didn't go through as my iPhone 5S took at too high of a resolution. The first stock pictures should be up.

Chrome Grille to Black Grille
First mods done to the car was a black grille instead of the Chrome one. I also purchased 7500k HID fog lights, but have yet to install them. Not sure if I'll get around to it. You can see in the stock form, the yellow fog lights don't quite match the car.
Pictures of the grille attached: (The next mod is the new rims, black 351m rims. )

If you don't feel like installing the HID Fog Kit, you can just use PDV 5k bulbs, and it is a perfect match with the Xenon and Halo lights.
Here is my write up on them: https://www.bimmerfest.com/forums/sh....php?p=8470931 Are those wheels chrome?

That's hideous...
Is it factory M-Sport, or was the Kit added?

The previous owner added the front M-Sport. I'll replace the rear with the M-Sport and a carbon fiber m5 rear diffuser next spring.

Ah, ok. That explains the non-M-Sport wheels.

Black 351M rims replace the hideous chrome rims
A few days later got my black 351M rims. Way better than the tacky chrome rims. Total cost w/ install was $2250. The previous owner had wheel locks on the rear wheels, whose key was never given to the dealer.
So 2 of the chrome rims have some scruffs in one of the lug bolt holes. Anyways, here are pictures of the car with the new rims: (The next mods I got which were just today, was 35% tint on the front 2 windows to match the rear 2, black vinyl wrapping of the side markers, carbon fiber front lip, black vinyl wrapping of the chrome door handle ridges. Also got ///M Performance tri-color stripes on the front grille. Turned out rather well. I don't have pictures of it, so I'll try to upload them tomorrow)

No, I don't think H7 and H11 are the same.
They have H11, so why even chance going with an H7? http://www.amazon.com/Philips-Diamon...MEYPY0DZ8K36GR

Definitely take that F10 to a body shop so they can properly fit that front bumper! New wheels look much better than the chrome ones.

So I got some vinyl wrapping done on the car. All the chrome has been wrapped a matte black that isn't really matte black but a matte black/grey. It matched the color of my car spot on. Will post better pictures up close later, but I had these on my phone. Car is currently sitting at dealer getting diagnosis since fuel injectors blew out
Also got the M colors vinyl rapped on my grille. Also had a CF front lip installed.

I love those rims but would want something a bit darker. I was about to order a pair of Vossens and a new exhaust for my car, but that fuel injectors took up all the money I set aside and then some. $6300! BMWNA called me yesterday after I filed a BBB complaint against these bullshit fuel injectors, if I get the money back, Vossens, here I come!
