My first 5 series / Apex EC-7s H&R & some other goodies!

Had over 40 cars, and a dozen of them were BMW's. Most of the BMW's I've owned were M3's, this is my first 5 series and i'm glad I bought this car.

Its a 2011 535XI M sport space gray.
H&R springs
Apex EC-7's
19x8.5 ET 33 15mm spacers
19x9.5 ET 38 12mm spacers
Ikon front lip
Ebay rear diffuser
Ebay trunk spoiler
ECS tuning tips
EBay side & rear extension splitters
Glossy Blk roof & mirrors

Next plans for the car, TINT!! and maybe coilovers this spring!!

I really enjoy driving this car everyday. Very smooth and luxury!! Just what my family needed!!

Enjoy!!

None of the mods and mine's a 2014 but feel this way also! I actually look for the long way home and sometimes do what that guy in the Infiniti winter TV ad!

Alas I won't be able to drive for probably 2 weeks; stupid rotator cuff..... Let the countdown begin!!

Iv seen other side skirt extensions and I don’t really like them. This is exactly what Iv been looking for just in carbon fiber. Do you know what I need to search for to get this style??

Thanks

They are great!! The ride is still very comfortable and stance is much better. The rear could be a little lower, but other then that I'm very happy.

Might get some coilovers for it this summer. Then I'll get her sitting perfect!!

I bought the car with the H&R's on it from a friend of mine. He said he paid $2k to have them installed cause of the all wheel. I told him that shop ripped him off. It shouldn't have costed him more them $500-$700 tops for the install.


I did all the other mods to the car.


The car came with black Eurotek wheels. I'm trying to sell them in the for sale section for $700 with tires.

Nice! any reason Apex couldn't give you correct offsets so you wouldn't have to run spacers?

I bought them used. I had the spacers from my last set of wheels and they worked out perfect!! I like my wheels to sit really flush!! I might go 20mm spacers up front. I still have some more room up front.
