Hi everyone. I just picked up a black 2014 535 I x drive. I've had it for a few days and am loving it! I'll take it to get tinted this week (35% all around) and paint the chrome in the bumpers as well as the grill.

Open to other minor exterior changes too. Thanks![IMG][/IMG]

A warm hi from another new member on the opposite half of the globe.

If you dig a tunnel deep enough, you might meet me on the ground. XD XD

AWe90 · 11-28-2018, 11:13 AM

Congrats! Post pics when you get the tint done! I'm considering 35 or 55%. Thanks.

Black cars always looks best directly after a wash!

Absolutely! Going to swap out the grilles for black glossy and also get all the front and rear bumper chrome wrapped in vinyl. Will share pictures afterwards!

Does anyone know of a front bumper lip I can add to this existing bumper?

yank that bitch!

Trian · 01-02-2019, 03:29 PM

Change out the side orange reflectors for color matched.

And yes, just yank them out. Both my 2012 and 2015 535i came out easy with just an even yank pull.

according to the front spoiler I have this will fit years 11-16.

https://www.ebay.com/itm/Carbon-Fibe...nxw:rk:47:pf:0

that means the Hamman style should fit as well

https://www.ebay.com/itm/H-Style-Car...scQ:rk:10:pf:0

that's pretty much it! I checked to see if the Alpina would fit but it only shows 11-13'
