Whoa the car looks amazing nice job! I have had my aftermarket parts re-painted multiple times and I still don't feel they are 100% matched... It seems white is a really hard color to match correctly. The car does look amazing though.... I would have them repaint that splitter though it looks pretty far off... PROPS on this beautiful car.

Paint on plastic looks different from paint on metal. Shine a bright flashlight on your front/rear bumper and compare the color match to the fenders. I guarantee they will not match and that's a paint job coming from the factory.
But I do agree with Russ that from the pictures, looks like your paint match could be better.
But great looking mods! The Hamann splitter and diffuser makes the M5 look even more aggressive.
Not really feeling the roof spoiler though. What kind of exhaust are you running?
