[The TRG]

I was active in this group with my 2011 535xi, which I sold in 2019 for a 2016 340ix (B58 6cyl).

Well I’ve sold the 3er picked up the hot-v I’ve always wanted this week… and oh my f#@king god is this thing insane. My 340 had 56k miles, this guy has 98k. But- I was able to pocket about $6k cash difference between the two as emergency fund. I’m considering doing an aftermarket warranty, so any feedback there is appreciated.

Details:
-2013 BMW 550XI MSport
-Alpine White w/ shadow line trim package
-Black Dakota leather w/ active adjust sport seats
-Heads up display
-Heated & Cooled Seats


Aftermarket upgrades:
-Burger JB4 tune and Exhaust muffler diverter w/ remote valve control.
-BMW 6 piston brakes (these things are HUGE)
-Burger pedal tuner


Upcoming:
-Removing that damn ‘M’ from the 550 badge…
-I’m researching adding in road sign recognition and how much that would be. I enjoyed that feature in my 340.
-Perhaps some twin fin style black kidney grills.
-Nothing else is coming to mind really. I made some wheel updates to my 340 and found that I was constantly blowing sidewalks on Milwaukee potholes and experiencing such a harsh ride. So I may run stock for the next year and see what presents itself. I’d thought of powder coating the wheels in black, but I was constantly trying to maintain the black 666M’s on my 340.. any kind of scratch just showed right thru.

Those are actually factory 550i rotors and calipers, not 6 piston. Someone just painted them and applied an M badge.

Nice car, though! I wish I could have found a white one, myself.

Looks good! To me, a must have is a set of 10mm wheel spacers in the rear. It will make the rear look nice and wide without having to buy a staggered set of wheels.

Obviously make sure all the fluids, filters, belts, etc. are up to date. It's cheap insurance.

New plugs, coils, brakes, tires, belt, and oil. Also new front control arms and bushings. He also gave me a replacement set of brake pads as he’d bought two just so he had them.

I think im in a good starting point.
