What did you do to your 5 series today?

Ickdeep · 08-26-2018, 11:16 AM

Removed the 6 bumper plugs from the car and put the OEM plate frame back on.

jayster0966 · 08-31-2018, 10:26 AM

not exactly today but a couple days ago, small cosmetic change for the trunk

benacto · 09-01-2018, 03:16 PM

H&R Front and Rear sway bars installed and an alignment. Things are coming together.

BurrNinja · 09-05-2018, 08:22 PM

Somewhat winter prepped my rims to avoid road salt. Plasti dipped 5 layers with glossifier.

What is under the fog lights on the front spoiler? There is something black underneath.....It could be a reflection but I'm just checking....

Umm nothing. That's just how the front lip is.

Thanks. I have some wear right under the fog lights that won't clean. I kinda looked like something but I know now that it's a reflection....

Took care of some faded/worn leather spots around my interior door handles and seats. Leather dye made it look like new again and color is spot on.

Looks great. Do you have a link or any tips on where to get the leather dye from?

I purchased from the Amazon link but their main site has lots of good info on application and other products as well.

Check out this thread. Very informative. I have acquired this product as well, based on the recommendations in the linked thread, but my car just arrived yesterday after spending two months in transit from Belgium, so I have not yet applied it.

Cheers.

Thanks to you both. Mine is dakota black and just noticed yesterday (55K miles) that the same area around the door handle is starting to degrade. I'm amazed a car that cost this much new has quality issues with the leather.

I use CG's Leather cleaner and Conditioner and it keeps that area brand new along with the rest of the leather interior

jayster0966 · 09-09-2018, 04:14 PM

installed front bumper today

benacto · 09-09-2018, 04:18 PM

tested out the new added power, swaybars and wheels. I feel like I can finally trust it going through the canyons now.

ezaircon4jc · 09-10-2018, 04:13 PM

No pics (maybe later) but I finished claying and a little paint correction today. There are a very few scratches I couldn't remove with Meguire's 105 but I'm happy with the results. I finished it off with Rejex polish. I figured if Rejex is good enough to keep airplanes clean and protected it should be good enough to keep my 535 clean and protected on our upcoming 5100ish mile road trip.

bigshout · 09-16-2018, 04:42 PM

Fitted a new 343m front alloy.

benacto · 09-16-2018, 08:44 PM

give it a much needed bath.

lsturbointeg · 09-17-2018, 03:40 PM

^^^^

look at the beading!

203banshee · 09-17-2018, 03:48 PM

Starting to get rid of the (IMO) ugly wood. Doors are next. What do you guys think ?

lsturbointeg · 09-20-2018, 11:08 PM

getting ready for my garage project for the F10 this Fall. as many of you know I have a 3 car garage and Black Candy pretty much was the only car parked inside. got the last bay cleared out as the wife and I finally got around to clearing all the moving boxes since the big move. going over color schemes for the RaceDeck tiles and the Garage Cabinets. gotta figure out what kind of tire racks that are up on the ceiling I can use to store the OEM 356's and my OEM truck tires for the Nissan Titan? This will definitely take all Fall and Winter longs as I plan on patching up any holes and reshooting the texture with my hopper. than a medium gray paint on the walls and ceiling. I will be spray painting a BMW logo somewhere on one of the walls

as far as the RaceDeck tiles I'm thinking the colors Alloy/Gray for the main with a Black outline?

and for the Garage Cabinets I was thinking of these preferably in Black
