my black wheels arrived and have been fitted.. i havent seen it in real life yet, but im already wondering if i regret not getting silver wheels.. my friends who grabbed the car from the painter and got the rims fitted say "you cant even tell they are 20s, whyd you bother" lol.

My last 2 angeleye upgrades...currently on MTEC v3.
Vinyl Shadowline tape...when with OEM Shadowline trim
Numerous versions of interior lighting
Plastic LED side marker housing
Matte Black kidney grills...Went back to OEM chrome with matte centers.
Bought but never installed:
OEM MTech CF splitters
OEM Gloss Black grills...I may still install it someday
Matte Black OEM MTech rear diffuser...I kind of like the body color diffuser for a clean look.
Sun roof wind deflector
Bought OEM MTech parts (sides, front, bumper) separately instead of all at once at a bundle (cheaper). Long story associated with that.

Updating the firmware on a couple of my CCC modules when I had nothing specific to change it for. Process didn't work properly now I have no voice navigation instructions. At least it is minor loss.

I regret purchasing the replica side skirts for my 530i. They're about 3/16 too short. If I could do it all over again, I would have purchased OEM. Sometimes the savings isn't worth it in the long run.
