In closing:

The car is perfect as it is. Leave it alone.

To each their own. There are hardcore custom tuner enthusiasts, stock purists, and everyone in between. I personally don't like the "sunken in" wheel look, not so much that there is a performance benefit (zero or negligible difference anyway). The F10 M5 isn't all too bad compared to other vehicles, though. It's a matter of personal taste just like anyone ordering from factory a different vehicle color or different style factory 19" or 20" wheels. In addition, the euro spec bumper has no reflectors and the painted ones merely mimic it as an affordable option.
