Ive got a 2005 black 545i. To date, Ive done LCI tails, m5 trunk spoiler, tints, matte blacked my front grille (only the vertical slats, but then realized I downgraded my grilles lol, so I will be matte blacking the whole thing), and im in the process of doing LCI headlights, wheels to come in the spring (most likely 166's). Wondering what people think would be the right direction to go with my next mod...

Car looks great. Have you considered an exhaust system? Black and white roundels would also look nice.

Wheels will give you more bang for buck, appearance wise, than a body kit, if you are choosing between the two. Perhaps consider exhaust as suggested. RPI is amazing.

See, some people think that and I totally disagree (I suppose that's why it's called opinion). Nice or aggressive wheels totally don't go with a car with stock body at all. It looks totally out of place. A body kit, on the other hand, will go with any wheels -- unless you put on some nasty looking ones. Even most of the factory wheels look fine with a body kit.
