I decided on a CF Karbel rear spoiler which I special ordered without the Karbel logo, CF M Performance mirror caps from iMD-Distribution, LED door projectors with M Performance slides, a front relector set painted Toronto Red Metallic, and black BMW M valve caps all from iMD-Distribution 🚘

Don’t think it did. I do have some paperwork/booklets in the back that I haven’t opened. Might be in there

Picked up a new M550i in January 2020,had so many issues with it the car basically lived at the dealership. After 1.5yrs in on a 3yr lease I sold it back to BMW after the 14th time a service issue popped up and ordered my LCI X3MC July of last year.

I miss the down low grunt of the S63 but the big smile I have every time I grab the keys to the X made me forget about it real quick. Enjoy your incoming ride

Not the best shots driveway is a little tight. Added carbon seat back covers. Have an ER mid pipe coming in soon as well as carbon fiber steering wheel trim and paddle shifters all ordered from RG. I think the Tartufo and Brooklyn Grey is a great contrast.

For those that do not want to drill into their bumper for states that require front license plates. I modified this Sto n Sho XM4 bracket that is meant for pre LCI without ACC. I bought it hoping it would fit and it did but no well. After slight modifications it fits great and I like the look. Of course no plate would have been the dream but not worth the ticket especially since I have tints that could get me pulled over too

Had all my Autoteknic carbon put on. Steering trim, paddles and the top piece as well. Looks so damn good, I’ve been drooling just looking it at when stopped. Also had my ER mid pipe installed, holy loud. The revs still sound like shit, I don’t think anything fixes that with these cars, sadly. Cold start also sounds like shit. My neighbors won’t be happy. But man oh man…. Driving this bad boy is a whole new world of fun. Some good burble, sometimes a nice pop or two on downshifts, and WOT upshift sounds heavenly. My smiles per gallon have gone up which means MPG Is going down!!

Adjust tire pressures and get rid of those Contis while you are at it

110 degrees real feel out in MA tires are hot as hell so PSI are high! I figure to swap tires out when these get worn down. I know a lot of folks do the 265/295 but what recommendations you got for tires/psi when at ambient temps?

I probably would have kept my M had it had the options of the 22' Looks stunning in that color. How did you feel about the 50th badges on the wheels though? To me it looked weird having the graphite wheels and then bright white of the badge. Even though the rest of the car looks on point with them.

Honestly I enjoy the contrast of the heritage emblem against the darker colors. I never really gave it a ton of though though lol.
