Does the 550 come stock with a M-style front bumper (or in the sport trim)?

Also, why did you go with OEM M-style lip as opposed to an aftermarket (is the quality that much better in the OEM than the aftermarkets?).

Lastly, what did oyu have in mind for rims?

No it doesn't come stock, or with the normal sports pkg, the full M-Tech kit on the M-Sports pkg only. You will see this more commonly on 550's because the 550/545's tend to be much better optioned out (those willing to pay extra for the V-8 don't tend to cheap out on options). It's actually harder to find a 545/550 that isn't optioned out, hard to find one without NAV, PDC, Sports pkg (or M-Sport). I have seen many that have SMG tranny, HUD, and all the other goodies you could want.

Thanks guys!

The car is FULLY equipped.

Cold Weather Pkg
MSport package
HUD
Navi
Logic 7
iPod Integration
Split Fold rear seats
Moon Roof
Comfort Access
Heated REAR seats
Electronic rear shades
blah blah blah, all the goodies.

I hate that 'wavey' paint look on the crappy aftermarket lips, i've been thru that.

I doubt i'll be getting new rims, if I do, it will be hand-me-downs from my m3 (if i get new rims, it'd be on the M)

this is primarily gonna be my DD
