So I previously owed an e92 325d and f30 335d

I picked up this f11 530d a couple of days ago and I wouldn't look back night and day difference in the 5 series such a nice drive and a lot bigger and comfort from the inside.

90k miles with full dealer history

Few nice extras
HUD
Adaptive headlights
Power tailgate
6WA clocks
Pro nav

To do list so far . . .

Gloss black grill
Full LED interior bulb upgrade
Mud guards
M Performance Kit
Full carbon interior trim
LCI steering wheel
M performance pedals

DPF delete
Bigger intercooler
Remap


Happy for recommendations and inspiration

Thanks
Ryan

Congrats with beautiful F11! I like your plans. What about B-pillar ambient light from F3x/F01 LCI and/or seat back ambient light from F01/F07?

So the postman knocked on the door yesterday with some more goodies- Front splitter and side blades (rear diffuser was wrong so waiting in correct one to be sent out)

Question is now do I leave it the Matte finish or go gloss black?

Yeah maybe leave lips matte black? But then change your kidney grills to matte to suit imo

Thanks mate it’s nice drive dosnt feel like a touring either to be fair.

Need to get gearbox serviced and then get the flash done (think you had Alpina on the f30 didn’t you?) probs going to stick with that after reading up comparing to the xhp

Once they are done then it’s off to Paul’s for mapping

What is the brand of your front splitter?

In a picture further down in your thread, it looks like the splitter doesn't install flush to the fog light area, was that just a temporary fit check or is that fully installed?

.....I'm looking for a non-CF splitter, but not many F10/F11 owners choose this option...

Thanks!

That was when I had ripped it off 🤣 was just a temp fix and screwed in until new one come.

Iv got new one to put on but haven't had chance to do it yet.

I got it as a full kit from Mstyle uk through their eBay shop it was a lot cheaper

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/254453085182

Contact them I'm sure they'll sell splitter on its own
