Dude you have to teach me this bulb stuff. I think im missing something on the front? It has this orange side thing.. what you think?
I got my car at the end of November. You liking your car so far? See ya. Hey I want to get the LED side blinkers and the interior..Do you know a web site I can goto? Thanks for the props
If you are referring to the front head unit and the orange bulb blinker, it's an easy replacement. Ordered solaris invisibulbs from bimmian.com for the front and side blinkers. How to get to and change that bulb can be found via the manual. The font blinker and side marker change is as easy as the AE's IMO.


As far as LED side markers, JleviSW.com carry them. They also carry invisibulbs if you just want to order everything from one site. IMHO, not a big fan of LED side markers, but to each his own . For the interior LED lights, PM member myfootsmells. Only other thing you may want to consider is your license plate lights/led's.

As far as how I am liking my 535i....


GL,

Gene

looks good fellow 535'er!

let me know if when you're ready for 20's, i can try and help you out.

i've already investigate the larger IC, doesn't look too promising. our oil cooler is hard lined directly in front of our IC, thus not allowing for a larger IC. although, anything is possible...but major surgery is needed.
The thing is its all about the pressure drop. Even the ones for 335 arnt much larger. Like the spearco one.. I didnt know where that thing was. Thanks for the info. Ill let you know on the 20's

Very nice Love the way Zaino works.
Hey, your paint is drippppping in that pic. How are the hawk brake pads compared to the stock? I hate brake dust. I have a screech sound coming from my front left caliper. I have 18k mileage.

Thanks for the hook up. I would rather go with a hyper white bulb for the side blinker. You would love your car more if you goto vishnutuning.com and get v3 plug n play. It takes me 15 mins too remove if needed. I didnt take it out before taking to dealer. They didnt even find out. Im running 15psi and nothing higher. Its super fast. I think im running around 360-370 whp and around the same for torque. Its faster after 100mph. Which is crazy ! 140mph is lightning fast now.

p.s. I need to move the boost gauge over a half inch or quarter inch. The shop put it in, I told them I dont mind if the 1k rpm is covered. They ended up putting it just a little over the center gauge that shows the MPG. Its like double vision

the RPI intercooler for the 335i is about 40-50% larger than OEM.

Wow man, that's really nice. Makes me wish I had the i and not the xi and had the leftover money spent on the sports package. But nice nonetheless.
