Nothing Says Luxury Sport Like a BMW 535i Dressed to the 9s

2016 BMW 535i with M-Performance Package

White BMW M-Sport F10 blends new age luxury and motorsport greatness on staggered comp wheels.

If you’ve ever driven a BMW 5 Series, you know that these saloons have incredibly-durable drivetrains and a host of customization options via its onboard software. Yet, there are hang-ups from the factory: auto start/stop is annoying, suspension isn’t the sportiest and it just feels big overall.

But that’s what mods are for, right?

The 2016 535i, however, answers some of these problems; BMW M-Performance suspension is excellent and the N55B30 turbo inline-six puts out a decent 320 horsepower. Donnie Cristobal (aka D.Ray_C) has some nice mods on his 5 Series, though. As you can see, Cristobal has slick set of 20-inch Curva wheels (9.5-inch / 10.5-inch) wrapped in 235/40 and 265/30 rubber. Euro tail lights look stunning with the white body color, and custom quad-tip exhaust is outright gorgeous to look at.

There isn’t much going on interior-wise, but you don’t have to change much (if anything), as it comes pretty loaded from the factory. The black interior contrasts very nicely with the exterior, and gives off a classy Oreo theme.

As far as performance goes, his powertrain is currently stock. Though he hasn’t established a dyno baseline yet, Cristobal has plans of doing a full-bolt on setup, and hopes to get his BMW saloon rocking a solid 500 hp to the wheels.
