No, look very closely....
see how the light changes as you go around the very tip of the trunk lid? It shows less reflection about 4 or 5 inches from the edge....thats where Alpina's spoiler begins;;the trunklid appears darker there.

And if you notice, it 'bows' out with the same curvature that the rear bumper has right below the ledge that comes out below the license plate. It blends well with the stock bumper regardless of the added on rear valence (which is VERY low).

R.R.
Still not seeing it, but that's OK. There are so many reflections on that trunklid that it's hard for me to make out any surface detail.

If you all say it's there, then I believe it.

Wow. The first thing I noticed was the dual tailpipes. Very cool. Now, is that because it's a 545, or is it the Alpina add on? (mine is a US 530).

Also, I LOVE the metal dash. Man! I can't believe we can't get that over here. Of course, it would have been too late now, but WOW!

What an AMAZING color combo! Very nice!

Dual pipes are from Alpina. Normal 545's get similar pipes to the 530/525's.

I think the US market USED to be able to get the metal dash but for some reason, it isn't offered anymore.

I think he means the rear vallance with the quad pipes.

black/auburn really works well together in my opinion, still, I'm to boring to choose it!
It s much better than the M5..It s the only part I can't get used to..For my own taste the Alpina Quad pipes setup is it!
