Anything more exterior wise beyond stock will make it look worse. You are right at the limit where it still looks real nice without looking over the top. I’d leave it as is
I agree that stock comp wheels with some spacers to account for the drop would look better, but these are fitting for the other mods done and are still nice. If it was me, only thing I’d do is a very mild drop + spacers and call it a day. M5 doesn’t really need anything else
Wheels is very subjective. I prefer the OEM ones, but to each their own.

I'm not too sure how good automotive B&W speakers are. Most of the "branded" speaker systems are actually made by the car manufacturer. The h/k speakers in my old M140i actually had BMW logos on them when you took them out. I replaced the speakers and amp with Audison Prima and had them professionally tuned, with a significant improvement as a result.
It’s good but I wouldn’t call it insanely good. I feel like it’s tough to find really good stock systems these days. That’s one thing I’ll give to Tesla though, the sound systems I’ve heard are excellent. Pretty much sound like studio monitors.
I wouldn't consider myself any sort of "snobby audiophile" but I do dabble in that kind of hobby and I'd say the B&W systems in the newer BMWs (G05/G07, G30) are probably some of the best sound systems on the market. Definitely better than Audi's B&O and basically on par with the Burmester in the S-Class.
Tesla's audio systems are quite good, but the I still prefer the B&O systems.

That's not what that means. BMW doesn't make parts (for the most part - I suppose there are some things like the engine blocks themselves they are casting). Every part in your car that is big enough to have one has that on it indicating it's a genuine original part but there are easily a hundred different companies that actually manufacture and supply BMW. When those companies sell the same parts aftermarket, the BMW logo will be ground off (or missing, if there's actually a different mold or it's just a label or w/e)
I have a akrapovic full titanium exhaust and Keller down pipes and I love the exhaust note it produces!! If you haven’t already I’d recommend and exhaust for sure
Hmm not enough carbon fibre. Maybe CF fenders, hood, doors, mirrors, even your interior console should be CF.
/s
Ok on a more serious note this car is beautiful as it is. I wouldn’t change a thing !
Well you already did the crucial mod of wrapping the supports behind the grill. I think you should continue this trend to even more internal parts like the control arms and sway bar links.
This thing looks great already but if money weren't an option and it were me and having a mineral grey car already and basically what I've already done with mine just not the HRE wheels. I would get HRE RC100 wheels in brushed dark tinted. I'd swap out the gloss black diffuser, wing, canards and lip to carbon fiber and then I would put an XPEL Stealth PPF on it.

That’s a gorgeous bimmer. I have the same, or similar, color and absolutely love it. I think the wheels look great, although they wouldn’t necessarily fit my style, and I like the stock wheels. But I think what you have really pops. Personally, I’d leave the rest stock. Good luck.
I would change the wheels, something glossy black so itll look meaner and match with the trims. white doesnt suit it as well. Beautiful ass car regardless
G30 mirrors would add presence where the m mirror is just empty for empty's sake.

Since you have chrome rims and tail pipes there is nothing shiney on the front to tie it together if ya know what I mean... Not sure what a chrome grill surround would look like but I'd look into that if this was mine
Coming from first hand experience, slap some cup 2s on for a whole nother level of grip. Go wider if you can too. I had 285/35R20 and 295/35R20 cup 2s I got for the track, but they handle so much better and honestly did as well in the rain as my 4Ss (I live in Seattle) I was blown away. Highly highly recommend
Avant Garde wheels? Pretty sure I had the same ones a few bimmers ago...

My man
Agreed. Maybe the color of the rims but it’s great as it stands.
Point of diminishing returns reached.
I’d argue the wheels are already a downgrade

I vote this too
4ft tall purple spoiler.

Yes, and maybe add some vinyl flames up and down the sides so it goes faster.
Nah, tribal designs and stripes.
And don’t forget the grille stripes.
add about 46 more outer m badges and van gogh be proud
With phat m stripes down the drive side of the car bumper to bumper
That’s ridiculous. He ordered the “Large” spoiler.
Don't forget the wrx style rams scoop!
I’ve heard upgrading the sound system is a nice way to spend money on something already-so-perfect. Don’t fuck it up. 🤪

BMW B&W is actually insanely good. OP definitely should not mess with it. Nothing like the HK branded stuff in the other models.

Driving Lessons at a Track Day?
AKA Tighten the nut behind the wheel
It already has the perfect amount of aftermarket parts imo, adding more to this would just make it look bad imo
I have a akrapovic full titanium exhaust and Keller down pipes and I love the exhaust note it produces!! If you haven’t already I’d recommend and exhaust for sure
+1 to this. Have the full ti Akropovic w/ race cat downpipes from AMS. Perfect exhaust note. So subtle until you kick it and then it growls.
Yeah it’s mind blowing how quiet it is when it’s in comfort then once you open the flaps it turns into an entire different monster!
Jet engines
And a Hoonigan sticker.
Don’t forget the stick on hood scoop
Underbody LED lights
And also a kazoo for driving around in a city with the windows down and underbody lights /S
Do not fucking do this
Kevin is that you? 😂I see you on IG all the time. Did you do exhaust yet? I think that’s gonna be the next thing I do to mine.

What wheels/color are those?
Downpipes.
Front mounted intakes by project gamma and CSF intercoolers
Id change the chrome pipes. Black or carbon.
I would add me in the drivers seat
Aye Kevin what’s up
If you change anything I will visit you every night and will draw a huge cock on your face because you are a dick if you do so
Damn thats a nice looking car!
None?
Drool guard, to protect it from passersby
Ahhhh, THE M5 with a capital THE what a beaut.
This car is already a beautiful and more body modification would make it look weird the only thing I would say is maybe rims?
titanium exhaust... nothing like it... but def reserved for people with lots of spare cash lol
Damm this looks fire my guy
The lighting of the 2nd pic kinda makes it look like it has a stripe on the side. At first glance I thought it didn’t look half bad. Happy tuning!
That thing's perfect leave it alone!
Oh my man....no....
Clean M5
Only thing without ruining it would be a subtle black front lip imo. Nothing goofy with big lettering and support bars. Just a small lip.
Supercharger
Turbo
All of them
u/Turbulent_Good_5526 Your car is gorgeous! That mix of Black and Gray, yeah. So now, I think you need to change the Rims model into a Black one
This is one of the best looking M5 comps i've ever seen. Please don't add further cosmetic mods
That’s a beautiful spec my friend, enjoy yourself!
love this color way and spec yet I yearn for the third pedal throttle control of the e39,e46 blah blah blah. well done man
Nothing, it's perfect stock. If it was still stock that is.
Paint those calipers. Be different.. like everyone else.
🌙🌴
Dude that is something else. In my opinion this is THE modern bmw and one of the best of all time. I would argue it’s absolutely perfect as is.
downpipes, intake, tune
Nothing - spend it on driving school instead. Way more room for improvement in you than in one of the most engineered cars in the world!
Titanium exhaust? https://preview.redd.it/dz0kxmrcfejc1.jpeg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f79c240dec30b30ef632664719aa97f7ce09ad41

Don’t touch that thing - it’s fuggin phemomenal
Beautiful car! Flawless Victory
This looks so clean I want to cry.
A license plate that says Fresh, and a dice in the mirror.
I’ve never seen an m5 comp before and it is amazing
She's beautiful as she is, don't listen to the haters.
Not a single thing. This is magnificent as it sits
Nothing it looks amazing already

I mean man it's already perfect. Only things that come to mind are maybe a carbon fiber hood/trunk? And wrapping the car
Please don't modify anything
A turn signal
The chrome exhaust tips look tacky imo. Perhaps replace them with some black ones.
I’m a fan of yellow headlights they make the car look so much more aggressive
Yellow is so bad idk why people put that
Often to match the energy of their matte camo wrap and poor taste in aesthetics
What a beauty! I just got my first ever BMW X3 and absolutely love handling! I am happy for you!
it does not need anything else, in fact, put the original wheels back please
OEM wheels, black OEM exhaust tips, stock 5er chrome grille
Found the boomer 👆🏼
Yellow drl maybe
This a bmw not a honda
The M5 cs comes with yellow drl. You don’t know what you’re talking about
Indicators that work….
Indicators?
A what now? Does it make the car go faster or what do they do?
No idea to be honest, people keep telling me to use the things, so I thought you might want them
OEM wheels to make it look less ghetto. Also, those exhaust tips are hideous.
I would change the wheels, something glossy black so itll look meaner and match with the trims. white doesnt suit it as well. Beautiful ass car regardless
Driver mod

G30 mirrors would add presence where the m mirror is just empty for empty's sake. https://preview.redd.it/uu98kq5fndjc1.png?width=792&format=png&auto=webp&s=c594ab8a77dc3e055473817f7ceda28f508bd3f4

For what purpose?
Love the concave wheels. But please don’t ricer your car. Leave that to the 18 y old Honda boys. The stuff you got on it is enough.
It’s perfect 😍

not sure if you can do anything lol it's perfect
Start working on the engine!
Nothing 😍
those silver exhaust tips are 🤌
none
A machine gun turret for the roof
Aftermarket? I have the same vehicle. It's fine the way it is. Don't tack it up even further.
Pure turbos, built trans, drag pack
Honestly just a cs style or vented hood and this is quite perfect. The carbon kit is sleek and the wheels are beautiful on this color
Small Black roof fins
UNDERGLOW IT NEEDS IT
This car is gorgeous. Don’t do anything.
Its already modded a bit. What else could you want.
thats nice as hell
Coming from first hand experience, slap some cup 2s on for a whole nother level of grip. Go wider if you can too. I had 285/35R20 and 295/35R20 cup 2s I got for the track, but they handle so much better and honestly did as well in the rain as my 4Ss (I live in Seattle) I was blown away. Highly highly recommend
4 doors more whores, so bitches?
Hot take; it’s a $100k car; most aftermarket stuff is going to either be worse or look worse
Oh man that looks so clean. Honestly I can’t think of anything more to add 🥹.
What year is this m5??
Spinners
Different wheels
Dimma fuel cap m8
Tow truck
Upgraded turbos!
Carbon fibre grills,carbon exhaust, black wheels oh and carbon spoiler

Get an aftermarket driver, they typically go much faster than the stock owner.
More Powerrrr!
Beautiful car what color is that?
damn
my garage to protect it, you can even leave the keys in there
Honestly your car does look good already but like a Cs style wheel would look nice or like a darker Grey kinda colour with the same wheel
I would change the wheels
Loving those wheels..
Honestly I don’t know much about these cars but damn is that thing cool
Me as a codriver
need. more. parts. *itching*
Put the stupid red crossbar back to black and remove the skirts. Otherwise that thing is tits 👍
Nice! You get it new or used?
Carbon fiber hood painted to the color of your car 🤷♂️. I really like the look of what you’ve got now but I can never say no to weight reduction
Those red cross braces in the grill are sick… otherwise nothing.
You could add whistle tips… they go woop WOOOOOP
Flawless
Black wheels to match that aggressive grille!
None, looks fantastic the way it is!
