This last of the F10 535D M Sport

JOHNBMWM5 · 01-27-2017, 12:00 PM

Well after 2850 miles I would say it's just about run in, or getting there.
This car really is great I am really enjoying it, even in these freezing conditions it returns 39 MPG.
I did London and then back yesterday (220 miles) in sub-zero conditions, sat in heavy return London traffic for almost an hour then blasted back, filled up and 39.2 MPG

what a car.

They are lovely indeed

JLR1969 · 01-27-2017, 05:19 PM

I know what you mean, I did 80 miles today and stuck to the speed limit 70% motorways and managed 50.3 MPG.......

Amazing really as car only done 800 miles

The 535 is really something. By far the best car I have ever had. I like it more than the 911 I had. Just a sublime, all round car. Goes like a rocket, yet practical and reasonable TCO.

I think they are great if you can get a tyre/wheel/suspension combo that gives you a supple ride and a bit of natural steering progression with no vagueness/restlessness on the motorway. That seems to be a bit tricky though ! The G30 is dangling the carrot of more quietness and a better sorted ride and steering. Must resist....

Check out AliExpress, got some for our F48 from there and cheaper than eBay...

They also have the M logo laser etched on them

redcalibra · 03-10-2017, 03:40 PM

Thanks just ordered a pair from aliexpress, black with m logo

many thanks for info. 36 dollars!

redcalibra · 03-10-2017, 03:46 PM

Rears done on, my F10 535d , need to change, but still plenty of life in the front michelin run flats.
Would like to ditch run flats for smoother none tracking ride, but fronts too good to ditch yet.
Can I change rears to non run flat and still run with front run flats, have 19" m sport wheels.
Any advice appreciated.

Just head for their uk address and search for f10 tail pipes and take your choice.
Expecting long wait from china but who knows so cannot comment on them until received, but cheap at 36 dollars!
