My Ride: BMW 530d
Any comments?? I'm thinking about a very small/discrete rear spoiler, possibly black or CF but there's not much available here in NZ. And perhaps the angel eyes though I quite like the standard color...

The black shadowlines and grilles will complete the look.

My Ride: 2006 550i - Sport package, Cold Weather package, Nav, Xenon lights, 6 speed manual
Mods coming soon...Still need to figure it out.
Great looking car...I am using it as the inspiration for my 06 550i. I have the same color and I am putting my mod list together. The Mtech front bumper & side skirts are on the top of the list. Followed closely by the 166 wheels. Can you clarify why the M6 offset is needed?

Cheers for the nice comments guys!
You're probably right. Should follow my gut instinct ....
Wow, that's cool. . The M6 offset sits the rear wheels further out. I've read on here that many with the M5 offset use spacers to achieve the same effect. There's at least two must read threads specifically about this on here.
I thought the same as you at first. I'd do the front and sides only. But once the car was lowered the front seemed Ok but the way that lower lip on the rear bumper kicks back out got to me more. I'd do it all in one go but just my opinion...
You know I wouldn't do a thing. What a great looking car. I usually would agree with the shadowline, but there's something on your car that makes the chrome work. I also like the bright grille. No spoiler IMO, would spoil the clean lines. If you do it, I'd stick to body color.
