I'm meeting up with my installer today. I'll ask the specifics for you. He definitely took the time to go through each edge and angle with me to make sure none of the edges are visible.

Love the build. hows that m performance exhaust?

I know a performance exhaust is now part of the comp build option but there is this additional m performance exhaust on top of this for ~7.5K. Hope its worth the ticket.

Update from the installer: precut was used for the carbon fiber roof and gloss black parts. But the stealth parts were all custom done to ensure no edges left visible. The only difficult parts were behind the door handles and on either ends of where the trunk meets the bumper. He had to create patches.
Also he noted that with the metallic flakes on the bmw metallic paints, it actually shines through the stealth film. Makes it look more wet satin than flat matte in direct sunlight.

Thank you Ck00 for your feedback.

I was almost sure that 90% of the car was custom done, to avoid shiny edges.

Really good job, it looks amazing!

Still don't like the taillights. If they kept a natural L shape, I think it would look a lot better. It would have followed the trend like the 3er and 7er yet still be different. I feel the design is trying too much for something like a taillight. Other than that, the 5er is still my choice in this segment.

I mean that looks really sweet. But it's more and more difficult to differentiate these cars from the Japanese ones.
