Black boot badge looks cool. I thought about getting one too but prefer the clean look on the boot. After seeing what you bought I might consider it now.

400 bhp but need to get it on a rolling road. They came out to me and did the tune on the driveway. My mate had his E350 done at the same time so got a decent price from them. Maxton Bodykit wss from their own website. Think they have got 15% off this weekend on everything. I got 10% off. Exhaust tips were from Ali Express. 73mm in and 101mm out.

I like the side skirts on your car, the one on the Maxton website for my car look straight whereas yours follow the curve of the body and look much nicer. I will need to measure the exhaust pipe on mine to ensure it's 73mm in and will go for the exhaust tips... |

Update....
M Style Black Gloss Mirror Caps added today. I think they finish off the exterior nicely. Quite easy to fit. Plastic trim tool used to remove them... Only held in with 2 clips. Finish and fitment can't be faulted at the price.

Love the set up! I couldn't decide whether to do wheels first or a lip kit with stock wheels (like yours) and you helped me make my decision.
RxRyan, you can find the mirror caps on ali express, just search for m style f06 mirror caps. I see that they are only for 2014+, can anyone chime in if they will fit my 2013? I'm assuming it's because the turn signals, but if the mirror is still the same shape/dimensions, I can live with the empty space where the turn signal would be. |

Looks super clean, well done!!!
I keep going back and forth on the door chrome and side turn signal chrome... black looks awesome on space grey, but on alpine white is kinda checker boardy, and I’m not going to do a spoiler. Do you mind sharing where you got the Eibach spacers? On their website I just see the 10mm, 25mm, 30mm. I found 12 and 15 on ecstuning but not for F06. And I guess you got longer wheel lugs separately? |

Think the gloss black will be a good contrast for the white... I got a rear spoiler but now opted not to fit it. Like the look of it without. For the spacers, I got these from Amazon. Eibach Part Numbers for F06: 10mm Spacers: S90-2-10-004 12mm Spacers: S90-2-12-002 15mm Spacers: S90-2-15-001 Eibach Shop Parts for F06: https://www.eibachshop.co.uk/info-pa...%20-%202018-10 The OEM BMW lug nuts are 27mm. I rang Eibach Customer Services and the guy was very helpful. He said for 10,12 and 15mm spacers, 40mm nuts work fine. 20 x M14 x 1.25 Black 40mm Wheel bolt 17mm hex head Tapered: https://www.ebay.com/itm/10-x-M14-x-...72.m2749.l2649 TPI Black Eco Locks M14x1.25 - 40mm Locking Wheel Bolts: https://www.ebay.com/itm/TPI-Black-E...72.m2749.l2649 Let me know if you need any more details. Cheers.

Thanks!! That’s super helpful!
Definitely going to do spacers on mine as well, just looks so finished. Vinyl wrap and mirror caps, I think if I did all together, could look fantastic... you’ve inspired me! I’m also going with the maxton front lip, from Canada, but apparently the part is stuck in Poland waiting for shipping restrictions to be lifted. |

But I love those mirror caps. I’m in the U.S. so that eBay seller won’t ship to me, but I found these that look very similar and come with basic pry tools: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B083LJKQ4Q/ref=ya_aw_od_pi?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I really like how it cleans the look with only having a single color on the mirror cap, and I think my car will look like it needs gloss black vinyl wrapped side turn signal and handle trim after this. That might just have to wait though until I can take her to a tint shop. I’m really bad with fine detail custom work |

Mine’s 2015 650i GC, so thought’d be fine since it’s listed as a part for 2014-2016 F06. I’ve tried cancelling the order and will keep hunting for one thats compatible with pre-LCI

Another Mod Today...
Decided to experiment with some pinstripes on the recently installed Maxton bodykit. I order a 50m roll of 6mm Orange self adhesive vinyl. First I wasn't too sure but it has grown on me alot! I like the contrast with the grey. (Sorry for the bad quality... Looks like the upload has changed things)

If not I’ll give them away here So the only Pre-LCI covers I can find are black or carbon fiber OEM look, no M style ones. So I think I’ll likely just get my stock ones vinyl wrapped, along with the side signal markers and door handle trim |
