What do i do to my 2014 535i M sport

Im having trouble deciding what mods i should do to my 535i. Its all black with chrome delete with the silver M rims. Is it better to keep the silver rims or go for a blackout look? Theres alot i want to do to it but i dont want it to be considered a ricer. Is an all black with silver rims better than All Black with black rims? If anyone has any inspirations hmu.

Whatever color you choose the lowering and spacers were the best mods for me. Totally changes the looks

I prefer silver-oem look on the rims myself

*Carplay is one of the best mods
*Bimmercode tweaks (ac loads with previous settings when turning on the car, auto rolling down the windows while opening the doors, one-click trunk open and close with the fob instead of holding the fob, etc)
*X6M Key fob
*M5 front grille
*non-spin wheel center cap
*Gentleman's Function button

Looked into this, I just wish there was a DIY solution for it. That key looks SO much better than the stock F10 key and I'd really like to have it. I can't bring myself to spend the money for it plus losing an original key.

It’s not that expensive.
I just had 1 key so it made sense for me.
I bought just the key for 22usd and they program it locally for 150usd in 2 hours.


Here’s a service. 130 for programming a new key is not bad at all.

Wonder if someone does this in Canada then. I'll need to do some research, if they can do it in 2 hours I wouldn't even mind going down to Toronto and getting it done.

Would you happen to have a link for just the key itself?

EDIT: Found a local BMW key programmer who can do this for me at a very reasonable $180CAD, I just need to find a high quality key fob and I'll do this ASAP lol!

Make sure yours is 315MHz, 433MHz or 434..
Seller can help you verify by opening your key.

Thank you so much! Placing an order now, found the correct frequency also.

The programmer said he doesn't cut the key blade. I'm assuming this is mostly pointless because not once in my many years of owning my E90 did I ever need to use the blade itself. Likely will be the same with my F10. If anything, is it possible to get the keyblade cut afterwards elsewhere or does it need to be done by the programmer themselves when the key is initialized?

I use the key when I have to valet park at a place like a hotel. Don't want them to have access to the trunk and I want access to the trunk to drop off my laptop during the day.

Any key duplication place can cut the blade.
