2013 SG Msport 535xi - Photoshoot

Superb work, and outstanding job with the photos!

Thanks!

Very well done! Epic pics and beautiful color combo.

STOP NOW. Don't overkill it. Perfect

Thanks everyone. Car is done at this point. One more mod came and its a subtle 3D Design roof spoiler in black to go with the black roof.

I wanted this car to have a more oem modified look and I think i achieved that. Looks modded but doesn't look overkill. To most people it will just look like a nice 5 series but to enthusiasts they will know its not stock

Alan

Take a good pic of the roof when you have, curious to see how that looks.

Also, maybe you should have gone to SEMA?

Alan, as much as i admire your taste and photography skills, i cant believe what you have done.

a. you buy one the best sedans in the world.
b. you mod it up and take it a whole new level
THEN,
c. you let it sit idle 5 days week!
d. you let it sit idle 5 days week non garaged!!

if there is no garage, build one!

lol

Next house will def. have a garage but my condo will have to do for now. My neighbors won't be too happy if i built a garage around their parking spot lol. At least its not parked on the streets. Thats where i draw the line.

Would have went to sema if i lived closer.

Sweet ride! I was finally allowed to de-badge the 535i after I showed my wife yours. Thank You! What size and offset are your wheels and where did you get the color matched reflector replacements please?

what color is your car?

What size Philips fog lights did you use? The manual for my 535i xDrive shows using an H8, but I don't find the Philips in that size. Are you able to use a different designation bulb?

Beautiful ride and amazing photography !
I would not be able to keep a ride like that w/o having a garage space for it!

Thx guys

Car has a dedicated parking spot but it is outdoors.

Color of the car is Space Grey

The msport fog lights are H11

Alan

BEAUTIFUL!!!


What are the wheel and tire specs and dimensions?

I've already scraped the bottom of my M-Sport front spoiler (stock suspension) driving in and out of parking lots several times. I can't imagine how your spoiler is going to handle NYC long term although it looks fantastic.

wow..very well done mods and some amazing pictures!

care to share how you managed to get the wet look of you car in these pictures? I would love to have mine shine like this!

^^ look up "Opti Coat v2.0"

Does wonders for your paint finish and keeps it cleaner longer.

Alan

Where did you have it done Alan?

DIY. I applied it when the car was new so i didn't need any paint correction done. applying it Opticoat is much like applying wax on a car cept the opticoat goes on sort of like oil and dries/disappears.

Oh ok, did the dealer prep your car? Or did you tell them to leave it alone.

Gorgeous. Great job, Alan.

Nice dude, I'll keep an eye out as I roam these NY streets myself ..

You've done a GREAT job Alan! One little nit that may be moot since we've not seen any interior pics since early on in this thread, did you ever get those awful safety stickers off of your sun visors?

Quick Instagram iphone pic of my latest mod.

Performance BMW 550 rear diffuser. I like this one more so my Arkym one will be for sale soon (cheap).

Speaking of which, what is the best way to get those safety stickers off?

Alan, would love to see more pics of that roof!

Darn i always forget to take pics of my roof lol I've gotten so use to it i think its stock that way so don't even think about taking pics of it.

Few new pics from this weekends meet at Floyd Bennet Field
