Carbon fiber parts. Yes or no?

So I this is my 2013 AW 335ix.

Currently with
-Tinted windows
-Wrapped gloss black roof
-Stock Rims dipped Gloss black
-rear spoiler dipped Gloss Black (I messed up a bit and it looks satin black)
-badges dipped matte black

I'm not sure what everyone thinks of dipping a BMW haha...I did it just to see what the spoiler and rims would look like black and I liked it a lot. It'll be easy to rip off as well

Now I've decided to go for
-Carbon Fiber Front splitter, Rear spoiler, Rear diffuser, Mirror Covers
or possibly
Matte Black Front splitter, Rear spoiler, Rear diffuser, Mirror Covers
Any opinions on which one you guys think would look better? I'm leaning towards carbon fiber parts. Also any suggestions on where to pick up these parts would be great! send me a PM?

Also have to color match the front reflectors when I get the chance...

Yeah love your ride. I like the M Sport front bumper just the way it is as well.

But I plan to eventually have full bolt ons and making a it look a bit more agressive is

I would add a rear spoiler, mirror caps and a diffusor. No splitter.
Got the same parts at my car but I would wrap my roof the next time also into CF 5D wrap instead of glossy black.

Go CF and get all the bits. Car looks fantastic with the splitter, diffuser and sill extensions.

I'm looking at some Avant Garde wheels. I definitely like Black rims on a white car. Any suggestions? I'm hoping to get rims for under $1,500

Go with matte black. Nice contrast, cheaper to replace a matte black front lip than a cf one, and you can get a contrast from gloss white and matte black.

Looking good there! Are those CF parts? Can't really tell in the pictures.

Also where did you get the parts from? How's the fitment?
