Mein Auto: 550i M-Sport
New user - new car - 550i M-Sport w/iForged 20's

Hello all , new user here with a new (to me) car. I bought it off a guy in San Diego that only had it for a few months. If you've seen these pics before they are the ones he had taken when the wheels were put on.

Been reading this forum for a few months now. Great info and some sick rides!

Current specs:
550i M-Sport
iForged Legacy V2 20" Matte Black wheels
RD springs
matte black side markers
matte black kidney grills

Future upgrades:
Gloss black vinyl roof wrap
body colored marker/ reflector delete
matte black 550i emblems
Then my biggest delima....to head down the CF path (spoiler, diffuser, replace kidneys) or just leave alone. AHHHH I keep going back and forth
Exhaust - maybe
Dinan tune - maybe

With your extensives mods I would think a tune and quad exhaust is required to put a bit go with the show. Congrats!

Not a fan of black wheels on white cars. But if you like it, that's all that matters.

Is the Dinan tune legal in CA yet?

And thanks for the comments. I absolutely love the car. The ride is perfect. Anyone that complains about the too soft ride just needs to add some springs and problem solved. This thing corners on rails.

Love the wheels. Just get painted reflector, you're set from aesthetic stand point.

Wondering how RD springs compared to ACS?

I realize that but per their website (not sure if it's been updated) it's not legal. I figured someone here might know the details on if/when it would be.

Looks amazing! What size tires are you sporting? A spoiler painted body color would set it off, and I too am not sure if I want to add CF or not. I had it on my last car and think I'm tired of the look.

Congrats on the beautiful ride.

Though I'm a sucker for OEM wheels or aftermarket wheels with the BMW logo, I think this is gorgeous. Love the black wheels.

I'd say go for quad exhausts. And sounds like the Dinan for 550s is amazing.
