Just got my 535i

bodonx · 07-14-2011, 09:44 PM

Hi Guys,

I just picked up mine yesterday. I snapped few quick shots today. I came from 2004 325i to this.

My observation far...

No throttle hesitation like the car I test drove 3 months ago
No pulling to the right
The power is awesome compared to my 325i
I don't have DHP, but I have a sport auto. In Normal model, the car feels softer than older BMW, it is felt like driving an MB. In sport mode, it definitely still feels like a proper BMW
The steering is not as lively as my E46. But, the car handles well and provide refinement 100X better than my E46
I really love my e cinnamon interior
Thank God I got Michelin tires

I am still learning to use all the tech. Quick questions, I put a 250 USB drive to the glove box to import music. It was loading for 2 mins and did not get anything. How long does it take to read USB drive?

My next mods: painter reflector, window tint (should I go for 35% or 20%?). I did not order M-sport, but I might put an M-sport front bumper in the future.

Lastly, I would like to thank Greg Poland from PA\acific BMW. It's has been very positive experience. He is very upfront with the price and answered all my 60 emails. I only needed to come to dealership to pick up my car. I really recommend everyone to email him before you decide to buy your next BMW.

Sorry for my long post.

dude, i didnt get the M-sport too because i dont like the front bumper.. LOL i like the way the foglights is on the non M-sport. Go check my post on my MOD car.. i dun have a 535i just cox its = one M3.. lol my heartaches thinking about tt.

As for tint i think a medium front and dark rear is perfect.. tts wad i have and i have no problems with the COPS.. so yea congrats on ur new ride and post some pics in the future with ur MODs.. =)) cheers..

KinG12sKy · 07-14-2011, 09:52 PM

Also my advice is since you didnt get the M-sport den dont get it.. there are so many more aftermarket companies that has much nicer bumpers.. trust me you'll love them..

datbimmerdoe · 07-14-2011, 10:01 PM

great combo, congrats!

i'd say 20% all around (we like dark tints in florida) and m-sport front ASAP

bodonx · 07-14-2011, 10:02 PM

Yes, for M-sport I only like the front bumper, wheels and steering wheels. But, I could not justify spending $6500 for them.

I want to keep my tint consistent between the front and the rear windows.

LACSTER · 07-14-2011, 10:12 PM

Great combo! I agree with you with the front M sport.
I'll be putting mine on next week. Contact LTBMW if
You want one. Congrats and enjoy man.

Thanks.

Do you mind PMing me the cost you spent on M-sport front bumper only including paint and installation?

eurotechnik · 07-15-2011, 01:57 AM

Congratulations! I'm jealous, mine wont be here for another 2 months

JSCO · 07-15-2011, 07:19 AM

interior is gorgeous...msport is a must!!

Robin_NL · 07-15-2011, 10:02 AM

Nice, looks a bit like mine, though I have a black interior and other wheels.
So congrats.
Curious about the (oem? frontbumper) modding though.

RC3 · 07-15-2011, 10:06 AM

Congrats, another good looking 535 in LA

bodonx · 07-15-2011, 11:59 AM

Thanks for all the compliments, guys!

Now I still need to learn to use all the tech and keep black car clean.

My previous car was silver Gray which was very easy to maintain
