So I've been browsing the forums for a few months now before I decided to make an account. Got a lot of good ideas from these threads and found a bunch of helpful information so thank you to everyone

I figured I'd make my first post a thread on my build
I have a AW 2013 535. Fully loaded with about every package except the winter kit.

First picture is the day I picked it up. November of last year

First mod was a muffler delete. Before the 5 I had a e92 335 for a little and I liked the sound so I figured I'd do the same for this car.

Next mod was a BMS intake. Pretty quick install. Definitely made the turbo spooling alittle louder though I've heard it doesn't really do much performance wise and the stock air box with a K&N filter is most efficient.

Next up we're a few quick cosmetic mods. Clear side markers and carbon fiber spoiler, both from Amazon. The spoiler is actually pretty solid for ~$150

After that came some more performance mods. Starting with VRSF CP.
During the install I broke the upper coolant hose while trying to move it out of the way smh. Got it fixed and tune MHD Stage 1. Night and Day difference. 👍🏽👍🏽
Only issue I had with the MHD install was due to my cars DME not being the most current version so I had to have it updated using ESYS. I had someone from California use TeamViewer to do the update for me. I'll find his tag. But shout out to him.
It sat with stage 1 for a couple months. Then I needed more power.. so next was a VRSF catless downpipe and the G-Plus FMIC, which I learned about from the forums. Thanks.
With those installed I was ready for stage 2. I debated 2+ vs 2 for a couple days since this is a daily and I didn't want to lose reliability but after reading some reviews I figured I'd be safe with 2+.

Next was some maintenance. After my coolant hose issue was fixed I noticed the Aux fan was running very hard every now and then. I ended up getting the "Engine Overheating" error and decided it was time to get my water pump replaced.
I also ordered the RW Carbon cf rear diffuser. Fitment is great and it looks amazing for a great price

I also got my hands on some vinyl wrap from Michaels and wrapped my V bars in yellow/gold. Turned out really nice and it only took me about 2mins

That's how she sits now. I'm probably forgetting a few little things but it I'll get to those eventually. So far this car has been noting but amazing. Stay tuned for some more updated along the road. Sorry for the long read.

According to your signature you are running JB4, this is a feature of MHD flash tune.

Theres a pretty big BMW community up there. Im station in Florida so im only home for holidays.
What types of issues is the car giving you?

Nice build OP. I just wish Sport Display wasn't just for show cause that would be some serious power.

Thank you.. Maybe one day I’ll be there lol

Roommate got a M4 yesterday. So naturally we did some spirited driving in Mexico. He had me at first but I walked him down at around 135.
But today we flashed his car with MHD Stage 1 while mine saw some rain for the first time in a while

[NYC.F10]

Fresh detail/paint correction/ceramic coat
Also received my BMS spacers today 15 for the rear, 10 for the front

[Ickdeep]

Clean build!

Plans to lower it at all?

Thanks. You have one of my favorite f10s
H&R springs are on backorder right now so once they’re available again I’ll purchase a set. Looking to do springs and spacers at the same time

Nice setup, make sure you post some pics with the springs and spacers, I’m trying to decide what size spacers to get, I got my 535 on 20” squared up, no lowering springs yet but looking for nice flush fit.

Do you have a picture of how the 20s look?
