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? |

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.

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

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. |

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!

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.

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. http://www.skenedesign.com/FPBracket/index.shtml |
