I think the decal would look good if it didn't have the ///M Performance written on it.

Saw my car again today when going by... so some pics...
But before you see em... Do I go for fully black mirrors? Pondering. Want carbon but not available at the moment.         The technicians at the dealership said it's the nicest M5 they have ever seen  They loved the side decals and several had commented on it.The AKRA sounds awesome Akra tiny teaser... https://vimeo.com/87671944 Mat

I've seen them on a 535i. My take is it smacks of sticking a vtec badge on your car. The black is great, but the logo makes it tacky.

Oh, btw... I LOVE your car. I am currently struggling between Space Gray and Alpine White. Seeing your car makes me want to go AW!
And I do REALLY like the rocker panel decals. Just hate the MPerf logo.

Agree his car looks great. I do think it is good to break up the white. I would have done the same thing but potentially with carbon fiber wrap to match the exhaust, and then added the carbon fiber mirrors, carbon Fiber M Performance spoiler, carbon fiber RKP lip, and carbon fiber splitters.

No they are designed to be very resistant, it's the same vinyl they use to wrap cars no doubt, if not a little thicker. I have had these on my 330d touring for over a year, with no signs of anything untoward whatsoever. Cheers Mat

I prefer Alpine white because it contrasts so well with the M Performance stuff. I also buy my cars around a red interior and having done Silver + Red, think White works better. Colour however is down to you... only you can decide what you prefer In terms of carbon, I think it can be a little overdone (again down to your own preferences), I'm not too keen on the grills being carbon, mirrors I do like but couldn't source them in the UK. My mirrors are now gloss black and it makes such a difference, was holding off due to the way the black/white is on the OEM car. Good luck with your car decisions! Mat
