What did you do to your 5 series today?

Carbon535i · 12-24-2023, 08:37 PM

Adding some color the engine cover. It's not the greatest, but it will do for now.

Easymoney · 12-27-2023, 04:41 AM

Picked up a new set of tires. Got some Bridgestone A/S Pro Sport RF. They’re pretty decent. Girlfriend also got me a carbon ducktail spoiler for Christmas. Not sure if I should tape it on or bolt it into the trunk. Any suggestions?

zener · 12-27-2023, 12:44 PM

Blacked out shifter.

Ordered cover for it.

Carbon535i · 12-30-2023, 06:25 PM

Replaced coils and plugs today.

zvery777 · 01-01-2024, 03:43 PM

Replaced the water heater valve for the second time today due to the faint knocking sound and the noise is still there. Am I dealing with something else here? Does anyone know?

bk_mike · 01-01-2024, 05:06 PM

Wash and dry...

Carbon535i · 01-12-2024, 10:13 PM

Installing JB4 today. The hardest part was connecting the EWG harness.

StradaRedlands · 01-13-2024, 05:26 PM

Nothing too exciting, just getting around to having a puncture repaired.

I'm hopefully going to flush brake fluid this weekend on the E91... but other than that I'm pretty set for now!

Nice!

lsturbointeg · 01-14-2024, 09:00 PM

just waiting for an upgraded component from Bimmerhaus but i'll be making a video on his intake system. super excited to get this done! also just ordered tires from TireRack for my OEM 356'S. They pretty shot on the inner tire. And i'll also be replacing my front brake pads and sensors now that i'm starting to hear a bit of squeaking. it's been awhile but what are you guys nowadays running for brake pads?

i also forgot to mention i'll be installing this bushing as well from Bimmerhaus

i've kinda kept the BMW behind the scenes a bit since the Porsche has kinda taken over in 2023 especially with SEMA and everything. But i made it a goal to get more content out on the BMW so stay tuned for that fam!

SEMA 2023

zener · 01-15-2024, 05:21 AM

Washing day for both as it's -15f.

AZ535i · 01-15-2024, 10:59 AM

Hey Turbo!

The 718 looks insanely sick and congrats on your SEMA entry!

We’re proud owners too of a BMW and Porsche! Hopeful to own a Carrera T or S in the near future.

I’ve recently installed this rear bushing insert on my F10 as a result of mine showing signs of age and cracking.
Seems to have helped out but hoping after my install of coilovers I’ll notice less bottoming out.

I’ve had excellent luck running EBC Redstuff pads on the front and rears.
Significantly less brake dust with great stopping. I highly recommend them!

zener · 01-16-2024, 08:25 AM

Installed new agm battery and registered it with ista.

that's awesome buddy! in regards to the brake pads i'll look into that

DementedF10 · 01-18-2024, 08:07 AM

not today but this week. Cleaned and spray lubed some sticky buttons on the Idrive as well as replaced the battery. New battery made the car idle and run better for some reason. old battery was showing 39% so maybe that is why. Who knows.

Carbon535i · 01-20-2024, 03:20 PM

Rinsed her off

Conserve · 01-20-2024, 05:16 PM

With my 2015 535i new to me (purchase back in June 2023) wanted to see what is state of my battery since we are experiencing frigid temperatures lately in Ohio. I have had no issues with starting the car. The good new is battery was replaced by 1st owner when car had about 50,000+ miles on it. and now is at 67,000 miles.
