**BMV8's Jet Black 550i build**

BMV8 · 05-23-2012, 12:48 AM

I would like to introduce to the f10post community my Jet black f10 550i build.

I originally just planned to slap on some gloss black OEM grills on and call it a day. Upon doing so I seemed to have slightly opened pandora's box. I originally promised myself that

http://www.xbimmers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=512490

would be my last mod project......a few mouse clicks of the f10.5post website and the rest is foolish history. The mod bug did not only bite, it tried to take my head off.

MOD LIST:
-BMW performance gloss black kidney grill
-OEM CF deck spoiler
-Huper Optik ceramic tint 50/60
-20" HRE 841r with matte black face and chrome lip
-3D Design front spoiler w/ CF splitters
-3D Design CF rear diffuser
-3D Design roof spoiler
-KW v2 coilover w/ EDC delete module
-Eisenmann sport exhaust

TO COME:
-go power, stop power, shoes, audio, chapter 11, partout =(

Shoutouts to
-Steve, Idilio @ Al's body shop of Huntington Park, CA
-Steve @ European Auto Source in Anaheim, CA **build credits**
-STM in Los Angeles for the HuperOptik ceramic tint
-Andrew @ IND for whom this build would have not even been as close to possible.
-Jsyang and team ATTIC all day errday
-Kruzn, Khyeang, Lac, IE, JaeK, and to others for inspirations and help.

Enough chit chat..on to the pics:

Sound clip coming soon

BMV8 · 05-23-2012, 01:49 AM

My personal thoughts on the Eisenmann Sport: I chose the sport over the race version for a few reasons. I wanted something toned down and subtle yet noticeable. I wanted my car to keep its "executive" type feel and not go to overboard.

As I strolled over to EAS to pick up my car, I felt uneasy thinking that I should have gone with a louder setup. I stepped into my car, stepped on the brake and pushed the button start. The loud rumble of the exhaust tone definitely surprised me. Loud but not intrusive. What an amazing sound. It had a very deep and prounounced grumble at first due to cold start and a mellow low tone after the car was warmed up.

The exhaust hit all different types of distinctive notes as I smashed on the gas, from the low- medium bass, to high tones of high rpm revving. Very low to minimal drone inside the cabin. I kept my windows down all the way home and looked for every tunnel and busy intersection I could come across. The notes of the exhaust were perfect. The sound clip does not do justice for what it sounds like in person (it usually never does).
