Currently have 2019 M5C, already has some nice factory fitted Carbon additions,
front spoiler lips
Rear spoiler
Side skirts.
Rear diffuser.
Looking to add a few more,
kidney grill carbon surround
carbon mirror caps.
Where or who in the UK would you recommend to source these items from, or am I better going direct to BMW for them.
Any suggestions or advice greatly appreciated thank you.

Always go OEM in my opinion, at least for parts that BMW make. I have mostly OEM parts and the only bit I'm not getting OEM is the filler splitter between the two front canards as BMW don't make one. My advice though is don't go OTT on carbon, obviously it's your car so it's up to you but I think just the right amount of carbon is good, if you start putting carbon on everything that can be made carbon, it starts to look a little tacky IMO

Yeah completely agrees, can easily go over board, have decided against the mirror caps, and just the kidney grill outers. Will check out the BMW accessories and see what they have here in the UK 👍

also worth considering a CF PPF for the parts you want. I had roof, rear diffuser, kidney grills, spoiler and anything that was light gray or chrome wrapped on my M550 and it looks great even 5 years later. Plus it didnt cost me anything additional since I had made a deal to get the whole car done in clear PPF Xpel at the time.

I actually bought the carbon mirror caps, and when I fitted them I realised it was just a little OTT for me, so I had the original black ones painted body coloured, as I preferred that to the black that comes as standard on the competition, and I think it's a good compromise now

That does sound interesting, do you have any pictures you can share?
