Recommended Accessories

Hello everyone: I am awaiting my 2019 M550i and have been obsessing about my car. One of the things I have been thinking about is the accessories. Looking for some guidance regarding the recommended accessories.

I have the following on my wishlist. Obviously I won't get all of these, so looking for some direction.

1. M logo license plate frame
2. M logo valve stem caps
3. All weather floor mats
4. Travel & comfort hanger kit
5. Wheel locks
6. Luggage compartment mat
7. M performance pedals
8. Floating hub caps
9. Carbon fiber mirror caps
10. M performance carbon fiber rear spoiler
11. M Performance side skirt extension
12. BMW Ambient Air Suite

I'm new to BMW and this list is an extremely uneducated one. Please feel free to critique the list.

Thanks.

Well I got # 1,2,3 & 8. I would suggest the all weather liners instead of matts. Got my valve stem covers from China for $2 instead of $20. They are heavyweight metal and doing fine. Got the M license plate and floating caps from Sunmotorsbmw in PA off of EBay. Absolutely best prices for this kinda stuff. Added to list BMW golf umbrella. Have fun.

I got all weather floor mat and the coat hanger.

If you want more coverage go for all weather liner or the all weather tech version. The all weather tech version even cover the rear transmission bump.

The thing I see with the coat hanger is it permanently make your headrest sit on a higher position (depending on your height, might or might not be an issue), also whatever metal hook thing they had for the headrest doesn't really stick with the plastic attachment 100%, so it can introduce a bit annoying rattle on bad road surface.

I am doing the same thing...

I already have #2, as well as the M fender badges that the European models get, Bimmercode app and an OBD MX+ to code some options.

On my list are #'s 1,5,7,8, 10 and 11. Though the wife may veto the spoiler...

I'm looking for the M Performance carpet mats I've seen pics of but can't find anywhere. Being in FL, I don't need the all weather or WeatherTech ones.

And of course I already have the 'lifestyle' items- M T-shirt, M Mousepad, M keyring, M Coffee Mug, M baseball cap... Yep, I'm obsessed!

My vote goes to the Carbon Fibre spoiler. It adds to the look of the car.

I'm interested in those too, but the wife swears they're tacky. I actually saw them on a car in the neighborhood and I think they look good.

These look good; color all the way through not painted.

As others have said, do the BMW floor liners instead of the mats. Love mine. My two biggies were the Ind color matched front fender reflectors and the color matched front grill center piece.

#7 for me once mine arrives and maybe #10. Something I haven't seen too many do on the G30 is painted front reflectors. Personally like the look better than the stock orange.

Can someone explain the M Performance pedals to me? I would have figured the M550 would have that from the factory, or M Sport pedals similar to my car has. The ShopBMW website says the M Performance pedals are not compatible with M Sport pkg, so I'm left a little confused. Does the M550 come with just standard pedals?

This dealership that sells on eBay has the best prices for accessories. If he doesn't have it posted I PMed him for the info. Just search eBay for:
seller:sunmotorsbmwparts

Example. He has that coat hanger Amazon has for $70. His price $59.99 w/ free shipping. Honestly I don't get a commission. We need to share when we find something good.

I found these but they're for the F90 M5... Asked if they make them for the G30 but got no response.... Really like these better than any other option.
