Yeah I'm considering the Performance rear spoiler painted in gloss black. It's not so flashy, but could look good. The Performance front spoiler is cool too, but I fear that the front could be a bit too low, especially during the winter time when the snow falls.

Looks amazing.

One minor thing though, I would personally want to even the window tint on the car, not sure what the laws are in Norway. Either to match the front windows to the back or remove the tint from the back (may not be possible if factory tinted ? ). You had the same thing on your previous car, not sure if that's a matter of taste or local laws?

Only minor objection I have to otherwise stunning looking F11.

Thank you very much!

I kinda agree, but my opinion is that it is more important on a sedan than touring to even the window tint. On a touring you get two of the three windows on each side tinted, but on a sedan (or coupe) you split in in half (which does not look that good).

Anyway, and unfortunately, any kind of tint ahead of the B-pillar is illegal here in Norway. Must be originally tinted from factory if it is to approved. I had to remove the tint on the front windows on my previous car (the E60) because of that.

Those are 4x90mm Supersprint tips - a bit pricey but excellent quality

Performance front lip replica ordered! Will be painted AW, same color as the car. I'll probably wait until the spring to mount it, as the snow will be gone by then.

Thinking about changing colors on the wheels, what do you think about red wheels - yay or nay?

Beautiful Car! Even with the red winter Setup it's amazing, winter is so dark, everything that has colour is good for winter :P
What I would change on your car is the front brake, it looks too small, I have changed mine on my 520d to the 530d brakes, which is acceptable, not perfect, but much better

Thanks! The difference in size of the front breaks are really noticeable, didn't know the difference was that big. However, I don't think I'll prioritize to change them, I'll rather save up for a NTB retrofit I guess

I’m very happy with the ACS springs, so warm recommendations on them. Very comfortable. I don’t have xDrive, but I do have EDC.

I have a 2013 535xi with EDC and ACS springs. The ACS springs lowered it quite a bit (at least 1.5" in the front and over 1" in the rear). The springs work great but they are not as friendly on rough roads, particularly because there is less travel for the suspension now. Cheers.

Beautiful! Estates looks so good in a 5 series! We have a 550i as well in white. The color looks so elegant.
