2016 BMW 535i x-Drive

Han0115 · 06-23-2016, 02:22 PM

Hi. I am glad to join you guys as a 535i owner.
I'm living in Germany and just bought 2016 535i x-drive with U.S. Spec.
I was weighing in on with Lexus GS-350, Mercedes E-Class and Audi A6.
I was determined to go for BMW once I test drove 535i and Audi A4 which is because the Audi dealer only had A4 available for test driving.
I didn't like the feeling of driving with A4.
This one just got built from the BMW factory in Munich, Germany on 9th May, 2016. Only thing I did so far is to put these carbon fiber on both front lower bumper and side mirros on top of the protection film on the entire hood, front bumper, side bumper, and lower molding sides on both. I also put tints 3 rear sides.
Anyone has information about a good exhaust that goes well with 535i ?
Also, I'm thinking of getting a rear spoiler and putting it on the back.
What you guys think about it?

Thanks,
Han

Welcome aboard. Another new member to continue growing this great community. Nothing like a new car with that smell of plastic mmmm.

Nice mods so far. On a sunny day could you take some pics of the carbon fiber pieces?

In terms of exhaust there are many options. I decided to go with some M6 competition package mufflers which I have to say were easy to install and the sound is very oem. The sound isnt too loud, just right. Also need to change the diffuser so I went with a quad setup carbon fiber one. I also installed the front lip to make the car look more aggressive.

Are you planning on getting an spoiler?

Edit: Forgot to let you know that on my instagram (signature) I have a video of the mufflers with sound which you can check out.

Congrats and welcome to the forum! I'm typically not a fan of the colored grill slats but it looks amazing on your car, that first shot looks menacing

Yes, those are the standard xenon headlights (with the terrible halogen indicators).
