My Azurite black M5 delivery - my dream has finally come true
Finally picked her up today even though she arrived at the dealership a week ago. Been so busy with work but finally got the chance to enjoy her all day:
Some bad quality phone pics: I took her home and installed black kidney grilles and side markers which I had ordered from IND Distribution (awesome products and service, thanks guys) - took me all but 25 minutes to do per the DIY instructions found on these forums. I'm a happy camper right now is all I can say

Here here RPiM5! Triple black to me says powerful, yet subdued and classy. I guess we both have good taste

The orange side reflector tells me it's a German car and the entire car would look too plain/monotonous if I were to replace it with a color-matched insert IMO - also it's safer. To each his own I guess. I will post pictures of the modifications very shortly.

I never noticed that before - I guess it's a U.S. only option. Wonder why the U.S. requires these orange reflectors on our cars??

Also required here are front marker lights (that illuminate). They can be part of the reflector (a la VW, Audi, MB) or separate. On the F10, the front marker lights are the 3 LEDs on the side of the headlamp housings. This is standard in all markets for the F10 to homogenize the design, but it's not a feature on every BMW. Rest-of-World vehicles also have different headlight patterns, particularly with HID projector housings. I much prefer the non-DOT beam pattern, which is why my M5 is using European-sourced bi-xenon headlights. The pattern illuminates the road and road edge better, allowing better visibility of signage, pedestrians, and animals. Here are some example images: Europe: North America: DOT vs. ECE Beam Pattern: For a fascinatingly boring read, go here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Federal...y_Standard_108
