HECK NO!!!!! I try to AVOID them!!

Got them from Amazon seller last April. Brightness is still good. I have same on my Audi a5 and they are fading. They are all cheap China made.

dropped my baby at an Independent Dealer to get some work done since i'm out of warranty. when the car was in for those recalls BMW said my oil filter gasket was leaking bad which leaks onto the belt which they said could cause the belt to slip off. whether that's true or not i asked how much are you gonna rape me for this? $795 is what they quoted me parts/labor. so i decided to just take it to the same shop who did my alignment. $395 parts/labor

Questionnnnnn

Hi Guys,

I am conisdering doing my BMW 535's inspection 2....this is my first BMW and Im unsure if its worth me going to the dealer and having it done. They want $599 to do the inspection which includes an oil change. I originally was just going in to get an oil change, which they are doing for 89.99....any thoughts on if the inpspection 2 is worth it? I have a 2011 BMW (obviously) 535 X drive sedan...got abouttttttttttttttttttt 55k miles on it. I live in new england.

Hey Danny,

Its more than just oil change (see the link below). I think just to peace of mind, its worth getting the inspection 2.

Thanks, but for nearly $200 I'll just go back to factory and spend that money elsewhere.

Just a heads up....not sure if you noticed this or not but you need to remove the rear bumper and re-align the center portion properly in the guides so it sits flush with the trunk. See link below

Sorry for re-using members pics for this example, see my previous post #51

Agreed 100% spacers make a huge difference. Makes the stance look way more aggressive.

Those look like the 351 rims I have on my car. I got black on mine though. Thinking about waiting until the "winter" is over here and putting on some springs.
