New (for me) 2011 535i

I recently purchased this 2011 535i with sport package. I'm also new to the forum and am looking forward to interacting with you all on ways to modify my F10. I've already seen some great pics and I'm getting my mod list together.

Congratulations on the purchase and best of luck with it! I'm honestly not familiar with the 2011's, and I know there were different packages offered back then, but are you sure your car has the M Sport package? It doesn't look like it has the aero kit.

Congrats, nice pickup. Alpine white is by far my favorite color on the F10. And his car has the standard Sport Package, not M Sport Package. The Sport Package has since been dropped from the lineup.

Right Bake, mine has just a standard Sport Package not the M Package. From what I can tell it added 19" wheels and dual exhaust, but I haven't been able to find anything that described what the Sport Package added.

I had a 2011 with sport package that I traded
The dual exhaust is just standard on a 535, the sport package gave you the 19 inch wheels along with a sport suspension. Congrats on the car enjoy it

My 2011 had the sport package which added the 19" wheels, black trim around the windows, comfort seats, sport auto transmission and a thicker rimmed steering wheel. The M-Sport package was not yet available when I ordered my 2011. I always liked that it was an uncommon package, I mostly see M-Sport and basic F10s around, I've only seen maybe 2 or 3 other sport packaged cars in my area.

Congrats again on the car. If you like the wheels that come with the M Sport, I actually have a set for sale. They are the exact same size as the Sports Package wheels, so you would be able to just switch your tires over. If you are interested shoot me a PM and I can refer you to my For Sale Thread. Looking forward to your buildup.

I got the F10 with Sports package; ordered at the end of 2010 and delivered in March 2011. Sports package also has increased top speed limiter, in addition to what is listed by AVIMAX. M Sports package was available for 2011 but I opted for the Sports package rather than M Sports. The latter also had driving dynamics and damping control, active roll stabilization, aerodynamics kit, and anthracite headliner. I added integral active steering to mine which then also added on the dynamic handling package that came with M Sports that allows changing the driving characteristics from among normal, sport, and sport +. Bottom line--I like the way the car handles with the Sports package and IAS.

Oh yes, the anthracite headliner, I forgot about that, really changes the "mood" of the interior.

Congratulations on the new car. I have a 2011 550i in Alpine White with the Sport Package and I had the dealer install the the exact same wheels as you have. The wheels were standard on the 535 Sport package and look much better than the 550 wheels that came on that Sport Package.
