What did you do to your 5 series today?

fletchf · 08-19-2019, 06:37 AM

Cleaned up the car and garage.

dadysev · 08-19-2019, 12:44 PM

Well I got tired of the regular blues, reds and silvers in the calipers, so I tried a little burnt copper....

I always thought that color would look good! Think about doing mine too! Mine is gold. Is that the rattle can method?

Yeah it is. It's actually engine paint. Can't get calliper in that colour in a can. I don't brake that hard so not worried.

Blacked out window chrome and added 20% ceramic tints on windows.

axelnep · 08-19-2019, 08:15 PM

For me, changed my engine air filter and cabin air filter. Also spray painted the interior leather that has some wear and fades.

Is that color grey decent to keep clean? At least over jet black

peterson · 08-20-2019, 12:50 AM

Does anyone know the website of Mr Seat Covers? I just bought a set of seat covers for my BMW 7 Series from them. I don't know if the quality is the one I wanted.

peterson · 08-20-2019, 12:51 AM

Cool, I like it.

Same as trying to keep black clean. It's closer to black than grey especially when the sun starts to go down.

I can fully detail my JetBlack and have a spec of dust fall on it and it looks dirty!

I think the only car I've seen in person that looks clean but actually dirty are the silver/grey cars

I feel the damn pain, have a fresh car wash. Next day rain and looks like hell.

What rear spoiler is this? M5?
Hard to tell from the pics... is is CF or paint-matched?

Looking for one for my F10 and I like the looks of this on your car (I have the same year/color).

bobkalka · 08-27-2019, 09:36 AM

LOL, never seen this badging on the rear end before. Seen while driving from Austin to Houston this morning.

You can buy the F10 badge off of eBay.

Nice! I would use a door edge guard to clean the cut lines on the diffuser

The cut lines are not bad, but I will look into that. I love the sound she makes now. Specially when it does those small pops.

ramman434 · 08-30-2019, 03:07 PM

Just picked up my F10 2 days ago. Put a new set of valve stem caps on (black w/BMW logo) since I was missing 2 of the 4..it's the little things lol

Tasmanian · 08-31-2019, 11:57 AM

Today...I changed out the dull fog lights with Sylvania's bright non-LED bulbs called H8 ZXE Xenon bulbs.

Noticable difference. I did not go the LED route on this car as these were less expensive and I knew they would fit easily and not cause any electrical warning codes.
