My New 2015 535 is finally here

Topview · 07-08-2015, 07:02 PM

I picked up my 535 this past Saturday and absolutely love it. Really not sure how much mechanically it's different than my 2011 , but it feels like a much stronger car.

Details

Space Grey
Mocha Interior
Premium Package
Technology Package
M-Sport Appearance
Connected Drive

Extras

Wheels
20 Inch XO luxury, St Thomas, Silver with Machined Accents
really like the deep clean barrel design of these--easy to clean

Tires
Michelin Pilot Super Sports
Front - 255/35/20
Back-285/30/20

Paint
C-Quartz Nano Paint Protection

Front Grill
Black, but also painted the inserts below in high gloss black to finish it off

Was having color remorse since the day I ordered it, I wanted AW again but could not do it , I liked space grey and went with it but was not excited about it. However I gotta tell you folks I had C-Quartz applied to the paint and WOW. I saw it next to another space grey and the depth and shine is INCREDIBLE. Since I picked up the car, my neighbors complimented the color, I have had three strangers in my travels tell me, "nice color" I had another space grey 5 series pull up next me and he asked what color it was and he said to me it could not be space grey , my coworkers have commented on the color. Pictures don't do it justice if you look close you can see all the reflections especially the side shots

The dealership staff all loved the look of the car when it came back from having the C-Quartz applied.

On a side note for my Canadians in Toronto, great experience and deal from Serpa BMW in NewMarket, would highly recommend you connect with Stefano Serpa directly, his family owns the dealership and an absolute pleasure to deal with from the start, best service experience for any car I have bought by far, he simply understands the words CUSTOMER SERVICE, cant be more clear than that. For great C-Quartz application , call Kavel at Make It Shine in Woodbridge. Worth mentioning the car has not been washed yet, these pictures were taken 5 days after C-quartz applied and it had a noticeable dust layer and will update my signature after I wash it this weekend...have to wait a week to wash it after application

Really enjoying my new Car...

Congrats Bud. Love Space Grey as it cleans and dresses so well with absolutely everything (black grille to alloy rims)

Those big open barrels are not only easy cleaning but they'll allow a big brake kit if you want it later

Re chrome: Yes, its a macined , chrome kind of accent, that is what I realky liked about the wheel. If you check the XO Luxury wheels website The same wheel comes in black with the same accents. Never been a fan of black wheels, but they look nice as well . Have got a few thumbs up on the wheels driving as well . Rare wheel in Toronto for sure . Thanks

Thank you, was looking at a 7 spoke Rohana, saw these 5 spoke XO's and loved them. Really like the fact they are rare,. I live in Toronto and have not seen another set on our roads....yet.....the chrome/ machined accents add the right flare for my liking.....and loving the car so far
