My Ride: 08 535i, Black/Natural Brown, Sport, Nav, CWP
wow, I got exactly the same ride as you..... anyway, I went with black/white carbon fiber (7 pieces)....however my kit is in the mail ....but it should look something like the picture attached above. Did you use spray for your taillights or the smoke film? I used the film on mine, but i jacked up too much of the material for practice, so I ran out of it, and now need to order more...(the good news is, now I know how to apply it without scratches, etc.)....

For the keyholes I just taped them off and sprayed them. I'm sure they are functional but with keyless entry and the trunk button I never use them. If I had to key into them the plasti-dip would probably tear or come off the slot the key would go into.

Thanks,
I think the black/black roundels look amazing. I'd want them on the steering wheel, the center caps of the tires and on both ends of the car.
I figured the key slots 'would' work, you'd just have to clean/reapply afterward. Using the key is an emergency situation anyway. You removed the front grill strip to spray it, or just taped it up?

I bought a matte grille and just replaced the OEM.

ebay even sells badges/logos to cover the key slots, they look nice if you want to do anything to them,,,
