My 2011 BMW 550ix "M5 conversion"
Hi!
This will be my build thread for my 2011 BMW 550ix that I just bought from Germany. I live in Norway so Xdrive is an important option My nick is bmwZ, that because I`ve owned 3 BMW Z4 before. I have allways been modding my cars, so here`s some pics showing how they turned out: My first 2.2 with some light mods My second 2.2 with complete Z4M body, Performance seats and ESS Supercharged+++++++ My third 35i with 35is body retrofitted++++ So now it's my 550ix that will get some mods, the car has lot of options, but not M package. I bought it that way since it was cheaper and I will give it a M5 body So this is my plans: -M5 body using original parts -Muffler delete with Porsche tips -M5 PF spoiler -M5 LCI grille -M5 Steering wheel -20" summer wheels -19" Winter wheels -Eibach Pro springs -M footrest -Sport automatic retrofit with paddles -Wrap exterior window trim -Paint interior trim -A lot more Pics of my car:

Beautiful cars! All of them. I think you could have gotten the M-Pack though, and you'd already have a nice steering wheel with paddles, and you could have sold the bumpers for a very good amount of money when you swapped them for the M5 bumpers.

That is true, but I got a good deal on this one. Since we have 25% VAT in Norway, it was important to get the price as low as possible. So a non M sport was a lot cheaper. I bought this one in Germany at a $40000 price tag. But with Norwegian VAT and Taxes I payed $130000 New one is $250000

Holy shit. $130k? Just move to the US! You can get an M5 for that kind of money.

New mod in progress
Have taken all my interior trim apart today. I don`t like the wood look. So I will paint them in a nice Mercedes Obsidian black color. First step, unmount all the trim. This is quite easy and done in 1 hour. Then I had to separate the wood and aluminum parts. This was done by grinding som plasric pops behind the trim away. It looks like this when taken apart Then I had the silver push parts that have to come off A little grining from behind and I got them off Finally all parts is ready for the paintshop
