2014 LCI comp package gets the IND treatment

[kevin @ eas]

Like almost every new M5 that we see, this Singapore Gray F10 LCI came to us to eliminate the chrome trim and get rid of the ugly orange reflectors. IND's painted cosmetic package does exactly that, by supplying custom painted kidney grilles, fender gills and color-matched reflectors. The result may be subtle, but it definitely gives a stock M5 a more aggressive and sporty look.

Modifications
IND Painted Cosmetic Package
-Painted LCI grills
-Singapore Gray reflectors
-Painted side grills

Now that is beautiful
Congrats
You did good

Usually not a big fan of 601 especially that they are not forged... but yours look the best on an M5 I have seen so far and I don't think 343 would be as nice on your SG color...

Good job again

Blacking out the M logo on the back would look great. Just an idea.

Should come from the factory just like this.....

I'm really happy with the way everything turned out! Thanks to Kevin and everyone at EAS...awesome shop with very friendly and knowledgeable staff. Next up: painted door handles, RKP front lip and BMW performance trunk spoiler.

looks great...not sure that treatment would suit my imperial blue but it probably is perfect on singapore grey, white and sahkir.

Did you install the grill and side gills yourself? Is it difficult?

All of the parts were ordered through and installed at EAS....but there are DIY guides on this forum if you want to install yourself.

its amazing how simple mods make a car look so much more aggressive. Car looks great!

woaw.. I like

While it seems like many fix the front reflector issue with IND painted ones, it seems that few do the same for the rear ones... What gives? Nate?

I personally don't mind the rear reflectors since they match the tail lights. Also the rear reflectors are come on all F10's (Euro and US) but the front reflectors only come on the US Spec M5's.

This makes some sense.

That Car looks very good, subtle but effective.

Beautiful car.
I've been irritated that BMW doesn't provide enough nice colors for the M5 but I guess that I completely ruled out Singapore Grey, in error, as being too dark.

I have a Space Gray on order but I look at your car and I'm thinking about trying to make a last minute change to Singapore Grey.

Do you think these subtle changes would work with Space Gray? I would probably do them but with gloss black.

What color interior did you go with? If SO, are you happy with that color living with it day to day? Thanks and congrats on the car.

I agree, I tried to tape of the reflectors with some white tape on my AW f10, but I didn't really like it.
The bumper just looks bigger and you still gets the dents in the bumper where the reflectors sits.

Thanks Bluehorseshoe. Admittedly I felt the same way you did...even right after the purchase. I was concerned that the darker color would not show the lines of the car well and that it would be harder to maintain (keep clean and free from scratches and swirls). But ultimately, I decided on Singapore Grey because it is an M-specific color, I was coming from a Space Grey E92 M3 and I wanted a change and because the color is just plain beautiful, especially during the day. No regrets now.

My dealer happened to have 2 identical cars with almost all of the packages and options I wanted. I went with black extended leather, competition package, executive package, driver assistance plus, lighting package and B&O. I'm completely happy with the black interior and all of the packages/options...but if I were patient enough to order the car, I would probably go with Amaro brown extended.

I think gloss black kidney grills, gloss black side markers (gloss outers and matte inners) and color-matched front bumper reflectors would look great on Space Grey. Here's a pic I found of a Space Grey F10 M5 (pre-LCI) with those items installed.

Hope that helps...good luck!

Exactly the reasons why I left them the way they are.
