Had a thread recently that listed all of the mods I had planned: https://5series.net/forums/index.php...opic=90753&hl=
Here are the pics during and after the install ...sorry for the sh*tty pics
CF license plate frame isn't installed yet since I still have a temp tag
Enjoy:
Installing Black Grilles and RPi Scoops, HOLY CRAP, these were so difficult to install I wanted to punch a baby...dropped one of the screws down into radiator city never to be found again...I swear this thing has like 50 radiators haha
WELL worth it though! Looks amazing! Oh, and the HP boost is also good 
You can't see them in the pics, but in person you can see the scoops
Installing Black Side Grilles....pretty easy actually.
Black ///M3 Emblem with Germany colors installed
Had a decal left over...REPRESENT Actually looks pretty good I think...
Installing Racing Dash 18LED License Plate Lights: Stock on left, RD on right:
RD on both sides, SOOO FREAKING BRIGHT!!
Installing Aluminum ///M Pedals...this pic shows how you have to grind down the ends of the screws. If you don't, the screws will actually hit the plastic backing plate behind the pedal before the pedal is all the way depressed...resulting in a mechanical limiter.
Installing LED panels in the doors:
Installing GP 8500K H8 Angel Eyes:
Stock on left, GP on right....left side was a b*tch to install.
They almost look purple on camera....in person they are pretty close to white with a tiny tiny hint of yellow.
LED Panel at night:
Pedals installed, along with LED's in foot well:
My German cat hahaha, most badass cat you will ever meet...it brings us dead birds, rats, and bunnies...'nuff said...this cat is blood thirsty
Thanks for looking

Actually like how you placed those rpi clings
Love where you're taking the car with the b/w scheme btw; that chrome didn't really belong on an M3 IMHO
