Default visual difference between 535d and 530d

I know this may be a dumb question. I own a 535d lci but is there any clear visual differences between the 530 and 535 apart from brake size ?

Wish these cars were available here in the US, visually I can't imagine them being so much different from one another. I know the 535d has 2 turbos compared to 1 turbo in the 530d. That's all I know about the 2.

From what I know, the 535D has wider back tyres and different badging, you've also got a different back box with a butterfly valve in one pipe. Other than that the general spec on the 535's are far superior - that's what I found before buying mine.

I can vouch for the 535 being a weapon I got min remapped and its ridiculous :-) makes a 530 look like its going backwards. Its just I cannot notice any difference between the two
