Nice upgrade how would you compare the grip differences?
Was it a direct mechanical swap, wire changes, software updates?
Did or do you have lane departure?

mejori · 02-26-2018, 11:26 AM

all cleaned up!!

It was a direct swap. All wires are plug and play and no software updates.

I didnt have lane departure or heat.

It has been overcast since the tint was applied so the photos I have are not an ideal representation of the color or how light it actually is. I can post more once the weather clears.

Charter23 · 02-26-2018, 06:06 PM

This is my first time getting my car tinted and to me 50% is perfect but it is obviously a personal choice. I had to search around because not all shops had 50%.

*Technically the end result of adding 50% film is 47% because the factory glass has some tint on it.

Anyway, I know I got the right shade because my wife didn't even notice it for 4 days. This is what finally gave it away...

Please don't man! After all this modding is done, I could have just bought my brother's M5 he is selling! FML

Hit a big chunk of snow in the middle of an overpass on the way home. Spidered the f*ck out of the clear coat on my carbon lip. sigh. removing once winter ends, wet sanding, and re clearing. It should look better than new as the original clear was cheap and dull. Should better match my gloss black grills when I finally knock it out.

Not really at all when compared to the M5 mufflers. And compared to stock 535i mufflers, there is a little noise but when I can still have a full conversation with everyone in the car and go on long car rides without it being an issue.

Just for you xxpanipuri

I'll post some when I remove before I start sanding. It pulled it down about 1/4" so I haz a gap, but you have to be a good 10 feet away or closer to see the jacked clear coat.

That's pretty quiet from inside. The M Performance sounds louder than that. My Meisterschaft's i thought wasn't too bad but after hearing yours i guess mine is loud from the inside. Not annoyingly loud but a sweet loud. This morning around 6am i started my car from inside the garage amd we know cold starts are loud but it was the first time i saw my neighbor peek through his blinds. I'm wondering how much louder it will be when i install the DP's?
