BMW 535i 2015 Coming together nicely!

Hey guys, so i just got a 2015 CPO 535i 2 weeks ago with 20k miles. Since then I've a few mods and thought I would share since, I'm trying out ebay parts. Why ebay parts? Because I've had one OEM rear lip tried to be stolen and in the process, they scratched my trunk lid and the lip cracked and I didn't want to spend a crazy amount on a front lip that will eventually get scrapped.

Here is what I've done so far:

1. Front M Performance style lip (seller: European Parts Auto Store)
2. Gloss Black Kidney Grills (Seller: Possbay2011)
3. Rear deck lip (pained gloss black) (Seller: Free Motor 802)
4. H&R sport springs (Tire rack)

Pending:
1. HRE FF01 wheels (I already own but I need to put new tires on them)
2.Tints
3. Tune from VELOS DESIGN
4. M Performance Exhaust

Here is my feed back on the ebay items:
1. Front lip is great quality, all the screws line up. Fits well, but there is a small gap between the splitter and the fog lights. Ive seen this on OEM front splitters, so I would still recommend. It comes assembled, with screws to attached to bumper and double sided tape already on the lip (3m).

2. Gloss Black grills, I would not recommend. Seller is a bit rude and took forever to give me tracking information. Also, ships from china even though it says "stocked in USA". Doesn't fit perfectly. Their grill sticks out a tad.

3. Rear deck lip I would recommend. It fits PERFECTLY. It comes with double sided tape roll, but its not 3m. I installed it with 3m DS tape that I already had.

After H&R Sport Springs

Got my Springs installed by Velos Design Werks. Really happy with their service. Hoping they settle a bit more.

2 Days after Install of H&R Sport

From driving around so far, I am really happy with how it came out. Ride is perfect and I don't feel a "bouncy ride" that many people complain about... at least not yet.

Looks pretty SWEET! color match the front reflectors and since your window trim is black the chrome side marker looks out of place. Looking forward to see those HRE's on.

BTW do u plan on upgrading the diffuser?

Yupp, forgot to add color matched reflectors and chrome delete. I will be wrapping the silver side markers, door handle silver trim, and the 535i badge.

I will eventually do a diffuser, but no rush on that.
