My 535i in the works!

Hello F10 gurus,

Newbie here in the forum, so please be easy on me Purchased a 2013 535i MSport Alpine White a couple days ago, and already went ahead and got a lot of things done, thanks to the forum w/ so much info! I've posted a thread in the regional forum yesterday regarding to Caliper paint/ AK Front bumper lip, etc. and I was able to find an awesome place in SoCal for the AK Lip purchase & they did a free installation for me on the spot! They are an eBay seller, and these guys were very friendly and awesome. PM for their info.

Anyways, currently done:

- Smoked / tinted head lights
- Smoked / tinted tail lights
- Smoked / tinted side lights + blacked out chrome door handle trim
- Black roof wrap
- Plasti dip rear badges
- M5 Front Kidney Grill
- AK Style Front bumper CF Lip
- Customized coding done

All in 2 days work! Just took some pictures w/ my iPhone so please don't mind the quality as I will be posting some professional shots once I get done:

Agenda for Tomorrow and over the weekend:

- Caliper Paint (Blue or Red) w/ M Decal on the Caliper
- Angel Eyes (multi color w/ remote) & Fog Light LED Upgrade
- Side Skirt Paint or wrap
- Rear Diffuser Carbon Fiber Wrap
- Wheels (First thing in the morning)

As for the wheels, I really wanted the 343m 20" to put on, but they're just way to expensive. So I was thinking either Vossen CV3 or CV4 20"s Matte Black or Rohanna RC22 20" at Audiocityusa in La Puente. Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated! I prefer the look & definitely comfort when upgrading wheels.

Anyways, thanks for looking!

I got it from a shop in City of Industry, they also sell on eBay. George is the main person you need to talk to, great guy to work with and he'll give you a great deal. Mention my name (iaN) and he'll get you up and running. PM me for their phone & address.

As for the fitment, it fits perfectly no problems at all except for my dumbass to make dings already this morning driving down on a curb.

Looks great! I used to completely black out my cars like that, perfect on alpine white. I also went crazy modding when I first got mine a few months ago, definitely know the feeling. Luckily winter hit so I have some time to decide on wheels for spring!

Thanks! I'm at Audiocityusa Wheel shop in La Puente and I just ordered the Element 1185 wheels and tires. They're the 2017 model so the guy said he wants to take pictures once they're installed. I've got the Silver polished ones, I'm going for that aggressive/ classy look!

Although I probably would've done black or graphite, I think those will look great. Definitely keeps it classy

How about the all new VFS-6 in gloss graphite!

Click the pic to see more shots. I also have a fairly new set but used VFS-6 available if interested. They are gloss silver with not a scratch on them at a very good price Email me if interested in the used set. Diego@vossenwheels.com

Wheels look great in polished silver. Black wheels are so 2004.

Looking good! I also bought a 2013 535i a couple months back. I told myself initially that I would leave it stock.. safe to say I went against my initial statement in a matter of 2 weeks.

I had originally thought about going w/ Black but I had Black Wheels on my 3 Series before this one, so thought perhaps a little change

Anyways, Since the wheels I've got:

- Fog Lights Tinted
- Rear Diffuser Carbon Fiber Wrap

This week:

- Calipers Paint (Installation Scheduled) & will put M Sport decal on them
- Fog Light LED upgrade


I'm done after that, ready for a photoshoot!
