Aftermarket features include European-specification xenon headlights, xenon fog lights with yellow lenses, and matte-black grilles sourced from ECS Tuning. The windshield washer nozzles have been replaced with E60-specification components, and the mirror caps have been repainted.
18″ M-Parallel wheels were refinished in black during current ownership and are wrapped in Federal Super Steel 595 tires measuring 235/40 up front and 265/35 out back. A rear brake hose was replaced and a brake flush performed in 2019.
