New to me 2016 BMW F11 520d

Bounceme · 12-25-2020, 02:13 PM

Hi guy's.
I got this car in august 2020, and it's been slightly modified over the last 5 month.
This is how it looked when i just got it.

Bounceme · 12-25-2020, 02:16 PM

First thing i did, was installing a rearview camera-kit.

Bounceme · 12-25-2020, 02:19 PM

Next i got it lowered on Eibach's, about 25-30 millimeters, and changed the alloy's to 20" GMP Italy Reven black / polished.

Bounceme · 12-25-2020, 02:23 PM

Then i changed the seat's, and doorpanel's, from standard seat's with cloth to Alcantara grey shadow sport seat's.

Bounceme · 12-25-2020, 02:27 PM

Next i changed the standard LCI bumper's and side's to M Sport, added some new kidney's, mirrorcaps, and Maxton Design spoiler's and splitter's.

Bounceme · 12-25-2020, 02:32 PM

After finishing the new bumper's i added a front facing camera, to help me prevent crushing the front splitter.

Bounceme · 12-25-2020, 02:39 PM

Because the car has option S536 Auxiliary Heating, there is no longer room for the original LED fog light's, so i found some LED DRL i mounted instead.

Nice mods mate!

Well, it's rearview camera kit, that supports a frontcamera.
The one i got is the BVI-250 made by www.emtronika.com

Installation is plug and play, it comes with all that's needed.

I activate the frontcamera by holding down the Idrive knob for 2-3 sec, and turn it of by doubleclicking the parkingsensor-button.
The flickering is caused by my phone, and is not present normally.
The video is i Danish, but i think you will understand, if you read the post

And the frontcamera:

Thanks for all the info! This is something I'll be looking into at some point. I just want to make sure the camera can be fairly hidden.

So both items are needed, the front camera and the rear camera kit? What if one already has the rear camera? Can they just add the front camera kit?

Honestly i don't know.
My F11 didnt have rear camera, so i needed both.
Maybe support on www.emtronika.com can answer your question.

Yes the color is Jatoba Metallic.
The Msport bumper and auxillary heating works fine together, but there is no room for the fog lights, because of auxillary heating components.

sotvispen · 01-16-2022, 11:46 AM

Looks great!

Where did you find the foglight delete covers?
