New Black Sapphire Metallic M5 Competition

Just picked up my M5 yesterday:
Black Sapphire Metallic
Black extended Marino leather
Competition
Driver Assistance
Executive
Lighting
B&O
Black Kidney Grilles
I swapped out the side markers today for gloss black with dark tint LEDs (from iND - by the way, I'm the least handy person I know, so if I can do this without totally f'ing up the car, anyone can).

Can't wait to open it up on the highway. I need to figure out what kind of radar/laser protection I'm going to get. Everyone knows what a black M5 looks like, but here are some pictures anyway:

Looks perfect! Could you by any chance shoot a few pics of black exhaust tips from CP?

Congrats and good luck with your new ride. Had my black/black for a couple months now. I like your choice of wheels. I have the 601s on mine and thinking about swapping them for the 343Ms.

The black side gills really look great on the black. Are you planning on changing your side reflectors? I'm also very un-handy but found these fairly easy to swap.

Congrats! Curious why you went with the older (non-LCI) front grills?

Great idea. That's probably going to be my next cosmetic mod.

I bought the car off the lot - the black grilles were an installed option. I actually don't mind not having the M5 logo on the front.
