528i to 535i M-Sport!!

f10inSD · 10-30-2015, 12:13 AM

So since 2012 I've been LOVING my 528i. I did a few minor mods to the car like 20in Avant Garde rims, color matched reflectors, tint, and some coding. WELL I really don't like owning BMWs out of warranty so last week I sold my 528 and this week I picked up a 535i M-Sport space grey with black dakota. It has few options like Prem, Nav, Rear View Cam, Multi Con Seats. The difference between the 535i M-Sport and a base 528 is NIGHT AND DAY.

With that said my question is: What temp and bulbs can I use to make the the fog match the headlights. I really dont like the yellow look.

GP Thunder 8500 is what I used on non-msport 2011 535i. I can do a pic if you want to see it.

From what I have read about a year tops but I am sure daily use has a lot to do with it.

As I understand it, the higher number of the bulb "color" the more blueish it will look

Surprised to hear that you haven't done this already. Easy swap out, no code problems. H8 35W. IF you switch to L.e.d. I think you will get some code default but these are regs with a coating on the glass to get the right color look. Zoom in on the pic and you will see what I am saying. No link, Amazon.com but they have a standard web site. Onboard owners manual has info and diy under bulb replacement front.

AWESOME! I haven't done it yet since i don't even turn my fogs on at all. for $20 nice upgrade!

I am looking at a 2012 535xi M Sport. I live up in the Pacific Northwest, so AWD is valuable.

They are gorgeous cars.
