My Ride: SOLD...Jet Black 2008 550i M Sport with SAT, black interior. RPI exhaust and air scoop, 35% huper optik tint all around, CF roundels, flat black kidneys, Springfield Armory XD-40 jet black in glove box, charcoal filter removed.
Here are some pictures of my new car! I will post the RPI axle back exhaust install pictures soon also.
What do you think?
Next mods - powder coating the wheels a dark color, tinting out the shiny portions above the headlights and taillights, and maybe a chip tuning. By the way, I already, since these pic's, painted the back side of the new exhaust flat black so it doesn't shine and stand out like it does in these pic's.

The red RPI scoop set against the blacked out grill looks great.
And I've never been a fan of the matte black grilles, but maybe I've never really taken the time to notice them on a black car because yours look great!

with your new to you beauty -- ENJOY! When are you putting the snows on? Or do you drive something else when winter arrives in Wisc?Those are just temporary tags, i bought it in Wisc but live in Pennsylvania. I will be keeping this in the garage and driving my old Jeep Liberty in the winter.
Another mod i made since these pictures - I ordered those vinyl roundel stick on colors in black and blacked out ALL the blue. Looks really cool, I'll post pics soon of them too.

Looks great! I really really like the look of the LCI 550 Sport with the M Tech and 172 wheels. Very nice!
