2011 Black Sapphire 35d (UPDATED)

This is my first BMW and I am loving it!

I have done a few mods so far:
Replaced the front grill with a black matte, having the dealer spray the rim to match the black sapphire

30% Huper Optik ceramic tint all around

Extended Wheel Flares

I am thinking the next mod will be new rims. I am looking at the X6m wheels made famous by DaRipper or Black or Ferric 215s. I want the to go bigger and darker, but still undecided. Any suggestions?

Ya think'in like me and my '10d in black sapphire?? Whatever wheels you decide, you'll love it. These are the OEM x6M style 300ms for your reference.

Nice and good luck with it. I like the fender flares, where did you get them? I am on the verge of ordering the Black Sapphire with the Cinnamon leather.

Grilles look nice! How do I get the spraypaint version of black sapphire metallic paint that your dealer used?

Wheel Flares

I got the wheel flares from getbmwparts.com They were around $380 with shipping. They were fairly easy to install, just search some threads and there are great instructions to install. The removal was the hardest part and I found it best to place a large screw in the plastic rivet and pull them out. Check out the thread DaRipper's Weekend Mods and he has a link to the rivet setter you need to order, plus he ordered the flares for over $100 cheaper!

How do you spray tint the reflectors?
