Pre-LCI X3 M - rear bumper diffuser painted black...
I think for those who want to make the Pre-LCI X3 M's a touch more sporty looking & aggressive (especially in the rear bumper area) painting the lower diffuser portion (semi-gloss black) is a great way to easily achieve this. Wish we could see a few more examples of this.

I had mine wrapped, it does add a nice touch. I think this part should have been a gloss black “option” like the F90 competitions have vs base m5s.

I'm thinking of doing X-Pels black semi gloss PPF on this part. Do you remember what they used on yours... ?

BrockDM On a quick side note, do you remember the Brand Name, Wheel Model & basic specs on the wheels... ?
Since I know you use to have them (in a similar or exact same color) I figured you would be the best person to ask about them. Thank you in advance man!

Yes he was running the same size. The conti 7 has a different sidewall profile thats why his may look more squared off.

I know exactly what you're talking about. I use PhotoBucket & have a premium subscription. So I can save & post as many photos as I need to. I believe they have a free version as well. Basically, to make a long story short you need a dedicated 3rd party site to host the photos, then you simply copy & past that IMG link here. If that makes any sense. We appreciate you man & I know it's a touch overwhelming at first. Maybe a YouTube university quick clip may do a better job of explaining the fairly simple process.

I had my lower valance wrapped. I agree, I think it makes the car look more aggressive and visually lighter from the rear. I like it on the comp M5s.

Take it for a quick run & give it a try. Once you get use to it, overall it's a breeze. I have a love hate relationship with tech too. But PhotoBucket is pretty easy.

Bumping this back to the top because I'm getting closer to getting this completed. There's a non comp M5 on this street & a comp M5 in the same Donington color. The one with the bottom rear bumper section in black looks substantial better & much more sporty back there!

When you guys get a moment, would you do me a small favor & take 2-3 small photos of the that area that your park distance sensors were wrapped in black film / wrap. I'll tell my installer to make the circles in the Xpel template smaller then usual to cover up mpst the 2 PDC's that this mod will possibly interfere with. But it would be great to see more close up photos to see how your installer did yours. Ultimately, I don't think the PDC will still work / operate as it should through the PPF film. But may it will. All I know is that the outer circle is body colored & can't be changed. But the inner circle (the head of the PDC) can be changed. All I would have to do is put a black Avery dot on it or buy 2 new sensors that are black & haven't been painted yet.

My installer just wrapped over the sensors and they are still working properly. Might not be the most proper way but I didn’t want him to hand cut the circles and have it look off or even cut the paint.
