Jet Black is the best. The M5 was my first BMW ever that was NOT Jet Black. All my past Bimmers were Jet Black and I finally decided to go back to Jet Black. Alpine White was up there too, but I would have been forced to paint all the black moldings and bumpers on the car to Alpine White, which I opted not to do.

As for these mods, they are mainly lighting, but some are performance. It's very similar to what I have done with my M5. For example, the angel eyes are being swapped for a "white light" color, instead of the amber, stock color. They fit better with the xenon headlights. However, I'm upgrading the stock xenons (4300K) to 6000K. It's still a white light, but gives more detail on the road in front.

The SprintBooster, which is a MUST for all owners, removes throttle lag. There's no delay through the gears. It's great. It connects right under the throttle pedal too. It's an easy plug and play device that makes a world of difference.
