Proud New Owner of a 2014 535i!

Hello everyone!

I’m quite new to this forum, but I just picked up my 2014 BMW 535i about 1.5 weeks ago.

Pretty excited, and have been doing some cosmetic changes already.

Here are some pictures after a fresh wash/clay/wax. I hope to be as active as possible.

Thank you! This car came with hardly any options, but it did come with the Adaptive LEDs ... which ALMOST makes it worth foregoing the M-Sport Package

Thank you! Glad to be here.

Tomorrow I’m getting some Style 356 wheels mounted on.. and then finishing chrome deleting when I have some time (currently moving into a new townhome).

M Sport Front and Rear, LED Fog Lights, Full speaker upgrade, and an M5 muffler are some things I’m planning on doing in the near future.

Love my OEM 356'S! sounds like you're doing what i did except i didn't upgrade the front bumper to MSPORT. i would look into the MSPORT side skirts as the contours flows with the front/rear bumper.

Cool! I’ll look into it the side skirts!

Yeah, I am planning to do a somewhat clean “OEM” look!

Awesome. Congrats on yours!

I started lurking a little early when I was in the market for one. Already had a rough idea of the preliminary mods, but I am still trying to absorb as much information as I can.

So got my Style 356 wheels on today. Wrapped in Hankook Ventus Evo 2s. Super grippy ! And then I got an oil change and put in some Liqui Moly, my butt dyno noticed some improvement in throttle response, shift smoothness and what not already.

Looks great! Do you plan on lowering her a bit?

At some point. My last car was almost laying frame and it was really rough driving around Houston static.

I think if I do lower it will be just to close some wheel gap, but I might wait and decide whether or not I want to get a daily driver and then Bag this one.

Awesome man. My first car was an 01 Prelude.

I plan to eventually get back into the JDM scene, but i wanted a badass grocery-getter XD.

Update. Taking the car into Discount Tire today to get another balance. I seem to be suffering from that common 60-80 MPH car vibration. This was already an issue on the OEM wheels/tires, but did not fix itself once I put on the non-RFTs. We will see if this fixes the issue.
