My new 535xi M-Sport







Space Grey Metallic w/ Black Interior and Anthracite wood. M-Sport, P1, P2, Apps, Split folding seats and Sport transmission w/ Shift panels. The build date was 4/2011.

So far I've already had the windows tinted 20%, installed black grills and painted front reflectors. I also had Car Toys build a custom subwoofer box with 2 JL 10W6V2 subs which will be completed later today.. I'll post pics asap.

I'm loving this car!

Nice ride. Space Gray is a great color and looks very aggressive in the M-Sport.

Do you know the electrical detail of the sub box installation? like remote signal for the amplifier and audio signal?

I guess remote might be from a lighter and the audio from the speakers using filter...

Sorry I do not.. I do know all of the connections were made in the trunk itself - they used a hi lo converter to provide signal to the amplifier; I believe they tapped into the factory amp for signal. The only thing they ran to the front of the car is the amp level knob - it was mounted in the little compartment under the head light controls.

Thanks! I didn't do any dynamat - BMW does a pretty good job insulating everything there's pretty much no rattling.

Sweet setup... looks great! How is the sound? Did they do anything to help get the sound into the cabin?

I just got a 2011 F10 and put my JL W7 from my E92 in the trunk. Since there is no fold-down ski pass like the E92, I'm not hearing near the sound I should be hearing.

Thanks!
