New To The Club

Hello all, just wanted to say hello as I am new to club. I just recently purchase (2 weeks ago) my 1st Bimmer, 535i. Looking forward to reading post on mods, suggestions as well as help with any mechanical/electrical issues. I had the opportunity to purchase an X5 a few years ago, but opted to go with a Jeep. Although it was fun to drive, I've always had the urge to driving fast. Well 2 years & 5 vehicles later I finally got my Bimmer, & boy do I love it. Although it's not the X5 4.8 X-Drive that I had my eyes on, I can say that I am not disappointed with my purchase. After a driving it for a few week I am finally getting accustom to all the gadgetry, comfort & most importantly the drive. It truly fits the their motto, "The Ultimate Driving Machine". With that being said, I just wanted to say Hello & I am club I finally joined the Club. Thanks in advance to all on any suggestions for future mods.

Well that is some upgrade there Ick! I really wanted an M5, but it was just a bit out of my budget, especially being this close to Christmas. Not to mention in the past year I have had 4 vehicles, 2 Jeeps & 2 Avalanches (long story...HAHA). I was actually looking at some X5s, but those 2 were out of my range including this Blacked Out X5 M series. I could have worked it out, but it I wanted to keep the Mrs. happy. Happy wife...
Anyhow, well maybe after I'm done paying this off, I'll work on getting an M Series. Thanks again for your input & enjoy that M5, that thing is sick. I think one of my 1st upgrades I want to do is get the smoke headlight housing as well as the smoke tail lights w/ the amber turn signals.

Here are pics of my F10 535i. Still in the early stages, however I plan on starting my mods & upgrades after the Holidays. I already started my Bimmer Jar at home that I'll use towards my upgrades in 2019.

With envy I eye this thread and my big mistake lol. Listen to these forum members man! If I had, I'd be crazy modding a 535 instead of dreading cranking up my 550.

Congrats and good luck, look forward to seeing you enjoy your car

WOW that's a BEAUT! You definitely turned your F10 from Ms. America into Ms. Universe. You could've left her as is & you'd still be turning heads. As for mods I think I want to start w/ some cosmetic ones ie. wheels, upgrade fogs to LEDs as well as swap my current LED tail lights for the smoke LEDs w/ amber turn signal. I'm not going to attempt too much right now as it's the holidays not to mention Winter is here. This spring is when I plan on working on upgrading my wheels, intake & possibly swapping out my front & rear bumpers as well adding a spoiler. Like you said, "it's going to be a journey", which I'm looking forward to.
