Finally caught up on a few items.

- Visor Sticker Removal
- Start Button Swap
- Cup Holder Inserts
- M puddle lights

Next up: front lip, mirror caps and side vents

I have the m5 puddle lights. After a while they turn green. Had puddle lights on my previous e60 aswell, they also turned green.

Does anybody know where I can get some quality ones?

I paid $20 for the set of 4 via Amazon seller. The M5 is not my daily driver so we'll see how these lights hold up under limited use.

Especially like the M cup holder inserts, those definitely going on the shopping list.

I bought these on Amazon for my daily M3 and after 18 months they still looked great. search for :

In the four months I waited, I had the stock tips refinished as best as they could be, but the pitting was not reversible at a price I was willing to pay.

The build quality on these BMS tips is beautiful. I'm sure that as I drive and get some carbon buildup, their perceived thickness will be less apparent.

Everything about this product is first class. As was the service I received from Mike (mike@x-ph.com) and Julian at Extreme Powerhouse. Thanks, guys, for tolerating my weekly "Are they here yet?" emails.

Yes, I know they are available in black, but I'm a shiny-parts person, bucking the trend on black wheels, tips, etc.

I wanted to offer a variety of views here in case others are interested. There's not too much out there, image-wise.

Have a great, long, weekend.

Same issue here w/ pitting on the black-chrome OEM comp pack tips, thinking of changing them out as well. The billet looks great on your car!

Thank you!

Would love to know how you removed the visor stickers. Or a link to the instructions you used.

Does your driveway need a power wash?

The starter button in silver looks a lot better, not a fan of the red or blue but silver looks premium

Yes! Living in GA it's the only way to go. This is my 7th car between my wife and I that I've tinted the windshield. Huge difference especially with a black dash or steering wheel. Plus, the M5 has a longer stretched windshield so I noticed the sun bake on the dash and into the front seats is more severe than other cars I've owned.
