I just put my name on this Arctic / Black w/ M package today. I'll definitely black out the grill and the blue part of roundels. Wheel wise, do the two tone 21" M wheels come w/ black paint or grey? If grey, i'll black that out too...

Nice, please post pics after you are done. Are you doing the install yourself? Wonder whether these are easy do-it-yourself mods.

Congrats man. Not sure about the wheel color.. Would you powder coat the entire wheel if that piece was grey? Or just turn grey to black?

I can definitely do it, just not sure if the time it'll take me, is worth it. I have an appointment with a local body shop for the reflector deletes and badges. Dealer will take care of grill and tint guy will handle vinyl wrap and tints. Then off to ceramic coating

IND is where I got everything. Call and talk to Ryan for the black badges. They're not on the IND site yet but they have them.

Got
My car today... they are saying they should remove the number in order to replace the front reflectors. Are they saying the same thing for you?

That's tight! Definitely blacking out grill, exhaust tips and anything left that's chrome!

Exhaust tips are killing me. They're so damn big and chrome. Need to do something with those. Anyone have ideas?

I guess with everything you have ordered from Individual,you have already asked them about black chrome exhaust tips.Maybe BMW will have them as an option on the MY20 M50i and you will be able to order them.At least you will probably have the option to change them.On my wife’s 540i M Sport the chrome tips are part of the exhaust pipe right back to the muffler,so it is one complete piece.Its actually a much better design but there is no way to get rid of the chrome if you want black exhaust tips.

I'm sure there will be something as the B58 engine has been around for some time although it seems that the X5/X7 have the updated version with higher fuel pressure.

Stay tuned... (pun intended)!

Loving it, Pipe Dr. I've been wondering what a white X7 would look like with the trunk chrome strip blacked out, and I think that looks great. With that strip, the other things you've blacked out, and removing the 40i badge, the car shifts its appearance just a bit from refined luxury to sporty. (still a big SUV, though) That's the look I'll be going for as well.

I was wondering that myself - IND has some black tips for the G05. Fingers crossed they might fit?
