Plastidip the window trim. .Comes out fantastic and lasts for ever. .Will cost you about 10 bucks. Mine has been on for almost a year now and I live in RI with the shtty snowy weather. No marks or scratches on it at all.

no. 4x4. mismatching roundels. red roundels = tacky. gloss shadowline. mirrors. but then again, it's not an M5 so why make it look like one?

I don't get it. Making a car look exactly like an M5 achieves what end? In any case, at least this example is well done. As others have mentioned, mirrors stick out like a sore thumb and the roundels will look better blue/white.

Meh, ignore the nay sayers. It's your car, do what you want with it. Just because you didn't get a M5 doesn't mean you can't like it or try to achieve that similar look.
I never understood why people get on others' case when it's not their car.
Do what makes you happy. If you're willing to spend the money to make that aesthetics change, more power to you.

It looks great, doesnt matter if its an m5 or not, it looks clean and very mean,
Dont worry about the haters, if you look around 90% of peoples cars on these forums look like m5s with the exception that someone has better rims or a hood than the other lol.
Black roof looks perfect with white, i wish my car was white lol. definitely get that shadow trim asap.
