Wait what do you mean ?

I got an email back and the front lip is separate. I asked how much for the lip but they replied that it only works with their bumper. I said I know! I wanted to know how much is the lip so I know how much it's going to cost for the bumper and the front spoiler. Seems like I confused them so I'm waiting for a reply


I'm playing with my options right now since I'm not pulling the trigger just yet. I talked to my body shop who painted my current rear bumper and skirts to see how much it'll be to redo my trunk and this new front bumper? He said he'll give me a good price but wants too see what he'll be working with

I just ordered this universal carbon splitter to replace my current one. If I decide to go with the F90 front bumper I will use this splitter since there's no available lip kits per the seller

just showed the wifey and she thinks it looks good. i'm in the middle of my garage build so i'll probably order the bumper first. than try to budget in the paint job. at the same time i'm thinking up changing out my 3D style wing to the PSM style while i'm at it. but I used BetaLink epoxy so i'll have to remove my trunk and have the Auto Body shop remove the wing and respray the trunk.



First of all; time for a M5!!

Definitely recommend the PSM style spoiler. I used 3M tape to hold it down and it's been fine. Tested at "higher speeds"

Also I got mine off of eBay and looks and does the charm

Second this. Right now even with my car, I'm debating getting a CP, (maybe catless) DP, LPHP, Pure Stg2 turbos, BM3, and front bumper F10 M5 style. But I figured if I sell my car with the parts I have on it, I can clear 25k easily if I want it gone ASAPs, and maybe around 30k to someone who likes it (2014 535, 38,600 miles, premium pkg, cold weather pkg, lighting pkg, driver ast. pkg.).

With that and the money I would spend on upgrades, I can easily get a 30-55k mileage 2014+ M5 with the actual power, front fenders, front bumper, etc. optioned with the lighting package the way I want with a red or brown interior.

It's like the people who buy a 535 and then want to mod the heck out of it to get 500hp... it's just easier + more cost effective to buy a 550 and do that! An actual M is an actual M, and it's hard to get a non-M close in terms of power unless you have that N54 true twin turbo. And even then it's a hit or miss and you need to upgrade almost stage3 to safely push past 575hp. The F10 M5 can easily hit more than that with a tune and catless.

That's exactly what I did. I had a 535i and did a stage 1 tune. I wanted to do more but I just decided to part out and sell the car and get a M5. Now I'm working on it haha. When I was on stage two with the M5, I was about 650whp but I'm down to stage one but still 615whp (downgrades for warranty purposes)

PS flowers on the 535i were because I had just got married

'Cept one must deal with all the problems with the V8. As I've pointed out before, the 535 gives up just a half second to the 550 0-60. Personally, I can live with that; and can't beat 31+ mpg on the highway.

appreciate your feelings on this. tho i'm happy with the power my 535i puts out. I've grown out of my old skool days with wanting power and now i'm just enjoying modding my cars/trucks. i don't know where you're getting this idea of buying a M5 instead? yes, it was a car i planned on getting after the 535i but the course has changed and my plan is to pursue a Porsche which is my dream car. i still have yet to put my JB4 on and if a DP comes available in the MarketPlace...i may jump on it. but i don't want another car note just yet. having my BMW paid off is what's allowing me to build my dream garage, facelift my car, work on the performance side of things just to give it some kick and eventually upgrade the audio since i love music and i hate the stock system. so i'm looking ahead and putting a lot of time and energy into buying a Porsche. which model i'm looking into is yet to be determined.

Ick! does the wing feel pretty solid on your trunk? does it feel like it gives when you push on it? my problem I had with my last wing is it felt like it wasn't solid and it felt like if I put enough weight on it it would pop off. I did use 3m tape than tried gorilla but felt it wasn't holding strong enough so I ended up going with the BetaLink.

It's very solid on the car. It doesn't really give at all. It's just got 3m tape right now it's been great
