My Ride: 08' 550i
monaco blue
m sports package
cold weather package
heads up display
automatic =/
I just got an 08 550i in Monaco Blue with the M sports package. I love it, the last 5 series I had was an 03 525i, and I never knew what I was missing until I got the 550i.
While it looks near perfect, I was thinking about doing a few things, and wanted some feedback/other ideas.
I want to replace the chrome grill and 550 numbers with their matte black counterparts.
I also want some kind of matte black vinyl cover on the diffuser (idk if the exhaust would mess it up?)
any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.
Ill upload pictures soon.

Welcome to the community! 
There are a few vendors on here that sell grilles at a very good price. I got mine off Bimmian...

Easy install and looks great. Vinyl wrap on the diffuser can definitely be done and is something I plan on doing myself this summer. You can find tons of vinyl on eBay and if you want you can wrap it yourself. To make it easier you can take off the diffuser.
Note sure what mods (if any) have been installed but here is a list of some things I can suggest to start with...
- New angel eyes (bright white, LED or HID)
- trunk spoiler
- roof spoiler
- update interior lighting to bright white
- LED license plate
- HID fog lights
- subwoofer (trunk or update under seat subwoofers)
Just some thoughts. I am sure others will come in with some other ideas.
Enjoy your new ride!
