I didn't ask her how much additional as a factory built option, though
Forgot, does this M Aero kit include the M suspension?

If they offered M susp retrofit I'd hit that! (for 500 euro only though)

no way Jose. no M-sport springs. but personally I think the springs only lower 10mm, so not my liking.

package only has aero kit & without:

• Active Roll Stabilization (ARS)
• Adaptive Drive
• Dynamic Damper Control
• Increased top speed limiter
• Shadowline exterior trim
• Sport seats
• Anthracite headliner
• M steering wheel
• M door sill
• M wheels (even though most of us will swap them, but they cost more to trade anyway)
• Dark chrome tailpipes
• Aluminium Hexagon interior trim

In US, the whole M-sport package cost US$6500 only. and in Europe prices start at £3325 (£2750 for 550i)

A lot to do if you want the complete M-sport look and performance.

mlai has the DHP already so less to mod.

Some of that stuff, like the M steering wheel, door sill, alum hex trim, is cool..
Funny if someone changes the M Aero kit here and keeps the chrome tailpipes..
If its only bumper 'wrap' parts, and price difference is ~10k outside, may no need to go dealer since only body parts no susp. not much safety risk

RC3, Break in your car already, lets go race our 528s !...

Mlai, you can finally provide an answer to the question we all want to know, what is the difference between between Adaptive and none!

I am going to be the funny guy here and keep the chrome pipes. So M Sport with aluminum satinated trim and chrome pipes..... Going to be weird? Don't know. But I don't want a HKD1.2m car to look like a complete piece of charcoal......

Just came back from a "spirited" drive on my 135i vert with the new Koni FSD. Only one word: Sweet!

aiya, not break in yet. only 800+km. but I found the jerk and hesitate almost gone. may be I learned to manipulate the gas paddle now. the fuel consumption is still quite high ~15.7km/liter (mostly urban driving). is that normal?

I actually like the hamann aero kit that just came out debut in geneva (most and not the whole package). guess we can wait a bit and see what the vendors can offer.

Awesome! I am going with black chrome tailpipes normal bumpers.. should be quite a sight together
Im thinking of clear grey/'tint' vinyl on the chrome windows .. no idea what it will look, but very cheap to try... but maybe take me 1yr to do

You can give us more than ONE word ...!!!!!
and does not count

Is it still 1.2M? I would thought u exceeded that figure many options and tax increases ago :P
What color is the new one -carbon? if u keep the chrome tailpipes it will look like a an LSH (lexus)

still? jesus.. do u even need a car..

That is exactly my figure at that mileage! .. now its 15.0 at 3100km

hamann = $$$ with wings .. but it would indeed be something else seeing it on the streets of HK

i still get a little 'ek' to/off stationary with the brake, but only when its humid ..

just the ones from M kit .. u can order them separately .. or u could just paint the original ones, but that would be really ghetto, even for me

tint wrap for tailights i mean.. so its still 'shiny' like chrome, but a lot duller and darker..

dont bother washing it, unless u enjoy it.. but your car is dark, i can understand your concern over *scratches*
i dont know about those protection stuff, id only wax it after it starts showing up alot of scratches after many car washes and use..

i won't bother to mod the tailpipes unless it's quad pipes mod, but need to change the diffuser too.

i never washed my cars myself in HK. no hose and don't like to wash in the car parks. I take my car out to wash. yeah, my car is black and don't want to buff it, so plan to get a coat of sealant instead, only a few hundred bucks, no harm to try.

i got the same promotional offer for the retrofitting... 47k all in all for the "upgrade" is pretty darn expensive. If it's a plain 535 to begin with, one is adding 6.4% just for the look and no actual performance gain.

It's better to spend those money for a set of lighter wheels and get rid of those bloody RFT once and for all...

I know somewhere could do M aero kits for much less. If you like, we can do a group buy.

thanks. got it.

by the way, not a big fan of the tiny "spoiler" at the back. i am no aerodynamic expert but does it actually create downforce or stabilize trailing vortex to avoid lift to the rear axle at high speed? if not, then i think it's a hideous piece added to the trunk just for the sake of being different... =P
