Thanks Matt, I couldn't help myself
4/20 Update:
OK now for some updates. Did a few things since the first string so here goes:
- IND Gloss Black Front Grilles
- 6000K LED Angel Eyes
- Rep CF Performance Splitters
- Euro coding via Carly (max bright AE's, Euro hazards, sidemarker delete, etc.)
- OEM F10 M5 lighted knob and boot
Amazing what a few things can do to clean up the front end. Anyway, apologies for the dirty car. Here's a before:
In-progress CARLY coding:
Dirty after:
I love the IND grilles. Perfect fitment. The AE's do their dim outer ring thing. This is to be expected without a full LED ring conversion. But for the price paid, I have no complaints. It's easily an upgrade from the standard orange halogen bulbs.
I got the splitters used from a friend. They're not perfect, but how could I go wrong? Makes me feel less bad if anything happens to them. They'll protect the bottom of the bumper, and I also have a backup set ready to go. Plus, they're completely removable.
Here are a couple of less-dirty shots. The front end of the car is covered in clear film that will need a light polish. I'll be working on this when I get the car sealed up.
Interior shot of the completed F10 M5 knob install. I opted to remove the factory ring from the factory M3 knob, cut down the F10 boot, and re-glue that to the factory ring using contact cement. Came out 95%; with my OCD, I might go back in with some more glue to achieve 100%.

As you can see, the car is quite immaculate both inside and out. I intend to keep it that way.
Finally, here's a random shot with the 2 cars from the day the DCT sold:
I did a shoot at a local park but haven't been able to go through all of the photos. I'll post them here when I get a chance.
Enjoy!
