My Ride: See my signature
The 172s and the M Tech kit and blacked out grill all look wonderful. 
I am looking forward to seeing it at the July 25th meet!
I do agree though with the members who have advised you not to rebadge your car as a 550 if it is a 545. Believe me, I sooo want a M5 but even if I did all M5 appearance mods (which I won't do because mine is a lease and I am hoping to swap with someone who has a M5) I would not rebadge as a M5. It your choice but rebadging is not popular here. Debadging is.
In terms of mods, I would shadowline the car. Then it will really look like a 550i Sport.
