Took some photos of the new car

Hey guys,

I just recently got a '13 535Xi and got some tints on it. So I took some photos of it, let me know whatcha think or possible future mods.














Thanks,

Good looking car!
As for mods, my personal preference is IND painted reflectors, blacked of painted side marker surround, and black kidneys.
Previous owner(s) of my space grey 550i did black kidneys and painted side bit, I still need to sort the rear out. He also did a "wrap" on the door handle chrome, fits the car and me nicely.

Congrats, I am going on a week of owning mine and and smiling every mile!

Congrats on the car, Space Gray is a great color! I also agree with the above poster regarding the color matching reflectors, black kidney grilles and painted side marker surrounds (though I prefer them matching the car rather than black). These are the most simple of mods that make a big difference visually.

Congrats.

Black grills are a must. Look great.

On that color, gloss black or carbon fiber print wrap on the roof will look great.

Nice purchase and welcome. In terms of mods, depending how aggressive you wanna go then perhaps consider dual quad exhaust/tips and a more aggressive rear apron. But at the very least I would definitely go with black kidney grilles, side marker delete, and drop the bitch

Congrats! First since your windows already have the shadow trim I would follow that theme and black out any chrome accents. Upgrade those grills to gloss black double slat grills or single? Paint match the front reflector and I would upgrade the diffuser. Any exhaust mods planned or just leaving stock?

Thanks!. I already ordered a double slat M grill (should be here in a few days). I'll order the painted reflectors next week. Diffuser I might do when I get tips but for exhaust most likely stock. My old car (Benz C300) I did a muffler delete and it was too loud for daily.


Thanks everyone! as a treat I uploaded some new photos.

I just got my new M5 diffuser not that long ago.. see thread for about $234 shipped with the piece that allows comfort access to still work.

I also started this thread to see if it would be worth converting a single tip M Performance exhaust to dual tip to work with the new diffuser but no replies yet. This, I guess, would apply to your stock exhaust if you decide to stay with it and convert it to dual tip. Hopefully someone will chime in. My main concern is not so much if it will be possible with either of our setups but the loss of resale value in cutting into the existing exhaust tip etc..

I'll look into the dual exhaust in about a month (getting all the other mods done first). But definitely a dual exhaust dual tip setup.

Looks good!

That X-Drive emblem lasted approximately 20 secs after delivery of my car. Peeled it right off.
