What did you do to your 5 series today?

Darryl79 · 04-09-2018, 06:12 PM

Yep, so I guess I didn't catch a small vertical strip of brake cleaner, so now I have paint on my bumper and it is slightly peeling. Oh the things you learn by doing it yourself! I wanted to get an M-sport bumper anyway with new diffuser anyway. Haha I don't know why this guy went with paint and not vinyl is beyond me!

Got some time to polish the headlights for my Full LED Upgrade. No scratches anymore!

203banshee · 04-10-2018, 07:56 AM

those headlights are so gorgeous. Even though I have HID projector headlights already , the LED's tempt me every time I see them . I love them.

RoelHG · 04-10-2018, 02:13 PM

Haha I know!!! I just wanted the Full LED headlights and got most of the parts second hand but they look like new. Can't wait to install them

RMNB · 04-10-2018, 03:46 PM

Took it to the shop. Wheels vibrating, steering all over the place, bump bump shimy shimy, etc.

Wheels, tires, CV joints, thrust arms, bent something somewhere. We shall see.

The best thing is I have a pristine 2017 Toyo Corolla that doesn't vibrate. Hmmmm....

Will you be doing a write-up for it too? I'd love to see how it's done!

I have my set sitting on the shelf as well. What did you use to polish them?
also, would love to help in putting together a harness for these for my pre luck.
Have connectors and pins, just don’t have the wiring diagram setup yet

Added the European ///M emblem to the front fenders. I wouldn't have done it except it is standard on European M Sport models. I got them from Amazon for $13 apiece... https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1

What did you play? I played clarinet in my high school band and a "youth" band called The Whittier Elks Cavilers. It was right before the drum and bugle corp days. Those were the days...

There is soo much you can do, just depends on what your willing to do. If I was you, I would
1) Get the windows tinted to 20-35%
2) Change the reflectors from the Nasty orange in the front and the red on the black number to OEM color. https://ind-distribution.com/products?categories=153
3) Lower it, I went with springs but another options is coilovers.

Just to get you started
