what mod to do with 528i

Hi guys,

I'm having my front non oem m sport bumper painting right now. Install in a week. Not sure if I want to change my rear bumper to m sport. Is there any diffuser add on for non msport rear bumper? Any other mod suggestion? I have my roof wrap, pillar wrap, 6 series wheel, CF emblem, plasti dip my badge. That's pretty much it for now

Wow you have the back up camera retrofit? Which 5 that you have?

I spoke to my bmw dealer regarding this. They said the only way they can do is setting up all the sensor, run all the cable but then i will have to use a seperate screen for the back up camera (like using Tom-Tom in the old day). I thought that is too dumb so i pass

I think we have the same specification. I do have HUD and navigation on my car so I only need the back up camera. I can send you PM where I bought it. mehh, do not hear what dealer said, they said that to me as well. the only thing they can do is drill the hole and plug the parking sensor. the price is extremely expensive though. I decided to buy back-up camera that really looks like with OEM. the price is around 600 (camera) + 250 (install). I am not really handy with wires

But when you modified things that relate to electric in the car, would it void the warranty? Again, that is what bmw said lol. They said if I modified anything and something doesn't work because of that, they dont cover. Because that same saying, I first was gonna go with aftermarket wheel, then decided just gonna get OEM with bigger size. That's why I have 6 series wheel in my car LOL

Lol that would be a big loss. I just bought it for a month bro. It's preown certified. Was gonna aim for 535 too....but all they have was black at the moment. I like white since it shows the contrast

Hey Jason, just wondering how the 6-series or M6 wheels fit on your F10. Just bought the same car for my wife and I'm looking to upgrade the stock 17" wheels. Did you need spacers or were the offsets close enough on both cars. What wheel and tire size are those? Thx.

Nope, no spacer or any additional things to fit it. It just fit right on. Only the previous 5 series would need spacer. I know that cause I sold that wheels to my friend who has an old 5

In fact if you called bmw parts, like I did, and ask for choices to upgrade your wheels, that style, 367, is one of the option pop up when they search in their system. Meaning it made also for the f10

Hey Jason beautiful car im loving those rims. Just curious, You said your car was a CPO, how much did you pay and how many miles on it when purchased?

Another mod suggestion would be to make your window trim gloss black

$42000 out the door. 27000miles, I think

Regarding mods, until now I've done way more than just the trim lol
