Picked up my 535i M-Sport

Sako_335 · 11-26-2009, 06:41 PM

nice ride

jopa489 · 11-26-2009, 07:50 PM

Very nice car, really liking that interior trim. Great spot for the plate too!

I335 · 11-26-2009, 08:19 PM

Gorgeous car - I really love the 5's too and great choice on the trim as well! I had a 535xi loaner last week - great car and it felt just about as fast as my 335 and the ride is just heaven after driving a 335 for so long. Why don't you give a GIAC tune a shot? Absolutely fantastic performance and driveability and you install it once and forget it. That 5er of yours would be just incredible with a GIAC tune - trust me...

Edit: BTW - love your plate idea, but I'd be a bit concerned covering up the IC. Probably won't be an issue in cooler weather and normal driving, but I'd keep an eye on it. You don't have a temp gauge either in that car, correct?

BillLee · 11-26-2009, 08:32 PM

congrats on the beautiful car. man, i want a interior trim like that!

Johnny Lin · 11-26-2009, 10:13 PM

Congrats, looks good

kushtrim · 11-26-2009, 10:14 PM

Nice car shqipe congrats

gabriel.psd · 11-26-2009, 10:23 PM

I do believe we have a lot of the same bowls and platters.
Hahaha

Schm · 11-26-2009, 10:26 PM

Nice car! Do you think you'll upgrade to the next-gen 5 eventually?

Zero.7 · 11-26-2009, 11:00 PM

AW 535i with the M sport pkg looks fantastic! I also really like the bamboo interior trim. And as stated by other fanatics, I am not feeling those style 135M wheels (aka e46 ZHP wheels) on the 5 series. I think this is the first time that I've seen BMW recycle a set of wheels onto another model?!?!? At least BMW is not as bad as Audi. I thought my RS4 wheels were unique until Audi started to put those wheels on all their other models! That's the only thing I would change on your ride.

bulldog_yyc · 11-27-2009, 12:02 PM

nice man, congrats

ACZakka325i · 11-27-2009, 04:26 PM

I like it a lot man! But, I think you're gonna kick yourself when the new 5 comes out in 3 months.

Ender514 · 11-27-2009, 05:00 PM

congrats! i like that wood trim.

c-who · 11-27-2009, 08:43 PM

Beautiful ride!

Cerezo · 11-28-2009, 01:26 AM

They re-used E46 ZHP rims on a new model. Has that been done before? They are nice rims but somehow do not fit the profile of this car very well for some reason.

The interior is very nice. The extended armrest must be very comfortable.

cuban335i · 11-28-2009, 03:37 AM

yea as others have said.. you should have waited for the new 5... you just bought the car but it is already an old model..

and move that license plate.. it's blocking all the air to the intercooler!

Yup, sacrificing a bit of airflow but it's nothing major.

No temp gauge and it's really pissing me off!

WTF do we need a MPG gauge for?!
These people are retarded for putting that in over a temp gauge.

What is GIAC??

EDIT.

GIAC is a flash?!

Hell no!

I'm really against flashes.

turboawdfanatic · 12-01-2009, 05:38 PM

I think it's blocking more than a bit of airflow.
Look into getting the Skene license plate holder if you don't want to drill holes in the front of the bumper.
