I would like to introduce to the 5 series forum community my Jet black f10 550i build.
I originally just planned to slap on some gloss black OEM grills on and call it a day. Upon doing so I seemed to have slightly opened pandora's box. I originally promised myself that

MOD LIST:

-OEM CF deck spoiler
-Huper Optik ceramic tint 50/60

-3D Design front spoiler w/ CF splitters
-3D Design CF rear diffuser
-3D Design roof spoiler
-KW v2 coilover w/ EDC delete module
-Eisenmann sport exhaust
TO COME:
-go power, stop power, shoes, audio, chapter 11, partout =(
Shoutouts to
-Steve, Idilio @ Al's body shop of Huntington Park, CA
-Steve @ European Auto Source in Anaheim, CA **build credits**

Saw this car pulled up on the screen when I was at IND earlier this week. Love it! 3D Design is the shit!
Any more plans for the rear? Looks uneven from the side.

Love the carbon fiber splitter. The stock non m F10 fails to have the aggressive sport look but yours F10 is amazing!! If I had the money I'd upgrade to your status
