Oh I like the add-ons. The lower portion of the M Sport front bumper always seemed a little unresolved to me in some angles and this ties it all together, very nice!

I'd go with your first instinct. Personally I've never been a fan.
+1, especially on a X7

Likewise. Really like the X7 grille blacked out, but the slats are far too large for these ///M colors.

I think I know what you mean. I wish I had waited a lot longer to wash my last car to give those last bits more time to cure and settle. Last time, I got caught in a pop up thunderstorm downpour on my way home from the detailers after fresh ppf and ceramic, ugh.

Ouch 🤕
Sorry to hear that.

But nothing to worry about. A quick maintenance visit should fix that in few hrs.

Mine got overwhelmed by a super heat wave and never cured. Sticky and gluey as hell after 3 years 🤦🏻*♂️

Warranty manned up and they'll redo it all over again.

I even like it in gloss black. If the fit is on point, the supplier probably has a few easy customers right in here

yo I am

underground parking always wins. huge spots are a bonus.


I'll never stop laughing at this stupid, stupid, stupid non-joke:


a little better view of the offset being spot on:


things smaller than my grille:


mods:
vossen hf3's in stock sizes but with the right offsets
x5m mirror caps
painted front reflectors
3m crystalline tint 40% front, 20% rear, 60% windshield (nothing on the sunroof)

the crossbars are thule winbar evo 135's with the 450r foot pack. SUPER easy to throw on and pull off.

I think my one and only big complaint with the wheels is I can't get a camera to ever meter them properly haha

Thank you. I appreciate the kind words. It’s a 21 M50i, phytonic with tartufo. It has the 758i wheels just powder coated. I wanted something different for my area and I’ve never seen one put together like this.

Awesome! A couple other guys here have powder coated their wheels as well, but it's a little more rare. How much did the powder coating set you back?

Finally took delivery of her 2 days ago and dropped her off directly at Detailers Domain in North Jersey. Can't wait to see what she looks like when I get her back!

I paid $650. I’ve never gotten powder coating done before so I’m not sure if it was a good deal. I had the dealership handle the logistics so I’m sure there is some mark up for their time and effort.
