Aftermarket mods for i5

Mac545 · 03-15-2024, 07:41 AM

Thought I’d start a thread to show/discuss any modifications…

I loved the look of the M Performance parts, but I didn’t think the carbon went well with the lots of gloss black (M60 specifically). Not to mention the huge price!

So I went for Maxton Design. Their front splitter and rear spoiler.

I’m not a fan of sunroofs tbh hence why I didn’t option one, but I did like how that option made the roof black. So I had mine wrapped in 3M high gloss black….

Here’s the results……

* the rear boot lid spoiler looks bigger in the photos, it’s actually more subtle in person…..

Looks great! Congrats and thanks for the photos.

Not i5, so a little more subtle for me.
The M emblems on the side are now in black and door sills have been installed.
There will be black/white emblems and later winter wheels in black with red applications.

Door sills. They were free.

Are these basically just stickers that you can apply yourself?

That means: My dealer simply gave me the things for €0.

I have just ordered the full kit from Maxton, did you get it fitted by them or elsewhere, also what was the eta on the parts?

Those are some nice high-quality photos that I will use as my last resort, however I am trying to avoid having to scale it out, when it can be so simply measured by someone who has the car with the badge installed by the factory.

I am thinking of my approach which would be to use the rim to get the measurement of scale, once I figure that out I can use that to determine the placement.
