My Ride: 2009.5 E60 550i MSport 2011 E90 ///M3 ZCP
Default

I've been super busy at work but the Mod bug took a huge bite at ///Bimmerstock 2012.

I haven't modded the 550 much, besides the matte diffuser, painted front grills, interior LEDs, Angel Eyes, M5 spoiler, Intake, scoops... yeah haha

SO I decided to get M5 brakes! best place to get it? MOTORCEPTS!!!






So my background is architecture lighting design, so little trims and details bother me a lot.
I decided to 'matte black out' the top portion of the tail lights,so when the trunk is closed, it creates a little better of a shadow.
