New '16 535i Owner

2SwiFt29 · 07-18-2016, 03:19 PM

IS350 back in '06 which I miss because of the mods I put into it.

Previous car was a '14 GS350 F Sport White w/ Red Interior. Light mods but also had a daughter so didn't do much to this car. Overall though, one of the best cars I've owned. Going to miss it. I was debating of another GS but don't like the rear at all and the deals suck for it even for the loyalty discount offer.

Picked up a '16 535i M Sport fully loaded. The tech is much better and the little features is a step up of the GS. Drives great IMO. Love the HUD! I don't know why Lexus makes it so rare to find for the GS. Another reason why I chose not to get back into a GS. A lot to learn about the features on this car but I'm excited to be in a BMW since my brother has an M3.

congrats on the new whip! i had a 2IS as well and had recently purchased a 550i. night and day comparison..

Great color, I don't see many in that shade of blue. TBH I'm most jealous of those revised cupholders.

Congrats on a beautiful F10!

2SwiFt29 · 07-19-2016, 11:40 AM

Yea I haven't seen a lot of the Mediterranean Blues around. Rare color here. Thank you for all the comments. Definitely night and day with the 2IS.

Only bad thing about the cupholders is I don't know where to put my phone. Still need to find a good place for it but not many options.

Congrats on the new car!

Side door pocket or centre console cos you don't need to (nor is it safe to) look at your phone while you're driving. Good thing about the F10 is that they have pretty much full phone functionality through the steering wheel (dialling numbers, accessing contacts, creating text messages, reading text messages) without taking your eyes off the road or your hands off the wheel.

2SwiFt29 · 07-20-2016, 02:32 PM

Center console already has my sunglasses and wallet. Only alternative is the side door. Either way, not a big deal. Loving this car so far! Thank you for all the comments.

lsturbointeg · 07-20-2016, 03:54 PM

this is what i use for my Note3 it's from Proclip specific for my phone so it just slides right in and it can rotate and what not...great spot as it doesn't block the LCD

2SwiFt29 · 07-21-2016, 12:23 PM

I'll look into getting a phone holder. Thanks.

Thank you. So far so good. Just the fuse on the trunk light went out. Getting the bug mod itch.

deepat04 · 11-19-2016, 11:25 PM

congrats... I love the car as I currently ( temp ) own one...why did you elect to not wait for the 17?

krautmeister · 11-22-2016, 10:48 AM

Congrats! I may be biased... and I know the Japanese have come a long way... but no one does sport luxury saloon like the Germans... especially Bavarians
