Car is 100% stock in that picture. No coding was done at the time. Since your car is European version, having amber in the parking lights might be illegal in EU versions.

I got modivated by what ICKDEEP did to his door handles and wrapped them in black by using ………..nothing but electrical type. I did this as a test but they look great as is. I do have proper gloss black wrap on the way but I am going to keep them as is for a while.

If anyone is on a budget, this is a very cheap alternative.

Ickdeep · 01-04-2017, 07:13 AM

Awesome! And yeah it's super easy to do

You're right,i saw on realoem.com,USA headlights have that amber LED light but european doesnt

Finally installed Euro Spec driver's side mirror. I only did driver's side as I have always preferred the US spec on passenger side.

EU Spec mirror also does not have the ugly black plastic trim around the glass.

Just ordered the OEM M Performance Exhaust. Got a great deal on a new one and pulled the trigger. Looking forward to install and see how it sounds.

Do you have to get a new diffuser? AKA quad tips?

No, this is a direct bolt on to any 535.

I considered M5 competition mufflers but decided not to on a leased car.

With these I can go back to stock right away and give someone a great deal on the performance exhaust here on the forums when the car goes back at the end of the lease.

Let us all know how they sound. Maybe I'll take them off your hands after lease is up.

For sure.

TTG · 04-23-2017, 01:47 PM

Exhaust is on. Install was a breeze and the fitment is perfect. We did not do much to align it at all.

The sound IMO is just right. When driving, you can now hear the exhaust.

I am just not sure about those tips. I really liked the OEM black ones and might put them back on.

Overall, pretty happy with it and this pretty much concludes the mods that I am going to do to this car.

Where did you get the euro spec mirror? Does the euro mirror have a wider angle to cover your blind spot?

Bmw doubles · 04-23-2017, 06:56 PM

A little work from google provided me some info. Aspheric Mirrors is Euro Spec. I found these on bimmian https://bimmian.com/Accessories-for-...Glass-Upgrade/

What did you pay for yours?

Those don't dim, yes???

07e92 · 04-23-2017, 09:56 PM

They do, but only if you bought those that are heated and auto dimmed.

It is an OEM accessory sold by BMW so it won't hurt your warranty at all..... especially if you have the dealer do the install.

I am loving the sound this thing makes when on the freeway. It is just right / perfect!

I picked it up when I was in Europe. It is actually from a 7 Series but it is a direct fit.

It does a great job covering the blind spot and it is auto dim / heated. Highly recommended.
