2011 50i Alpine MSport

Thought I would finally take the time to post this up now that I got some mods done and some pictures. I bought it back in August. Here are some of the details:

- M Sport
- Auto-leveling rear suspension
- Alpine white on black nevada leather
- 20" M Sport (333) wheels
- Premium sound/NAV/Technology packages
- Heated seats front & rear
- 2011, CPO

First modification was adding a tow hitch. (went with a Curt semi-stealth, it's good.) Second mod was upgrading the interior trim, as I posted about here: http://www.xbimmers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=881354

Since then I've done LED Angel Eyes, stud conversion, 20mm and 15mm H&R spacers, black kidneys, debadged it, tinted front windows, did some coding, and lowered with H&R springs & end links.

Future plans include front plate delete, painted reflectors, and re-sprayed rockers and fenders, and stonegard. More immediate will probably be exhaust. And then Dinan time.

Some pics:

Thanks man! As for the front, I want it to look like there never were plates, so will go the body work/paint route. But thanks!

Agreed on white. This is one of three AW BMW's for us. No other color will do.

Looks great, mine had a front plate and I removed it. It does have two small holes but it's very hard to see them.




Since the picture I used some touch up paint to dab inside the holes and had clear paint protection (clear wrap) applied and it is pretty tough to see where the bracket was bolted. I don't have any pictures with the bracket because I took it off before I even got home. I bolted my rear plate on and took the front bracket off before leaving the lot.
