Why are the PDC bumper sensors black color?
The car was only in for 10 weeks for the changes

But the car is still a looker!

PS. General Exclaim UHP, they are not China made, are they?

Lou, I got the wheels from BMW of Newport (info is posted on this forum) good discount. I paid 2100 approx for wheels and sensors. The tires are General Exclaim UHP 245/35ZR19 (fr) and 275/30ZR19 (Rr) 622 total from tire rack.
What offset are the rear wheels? 28mm? 17mm?

Maybe I would lower. I believe I will put some miles on it first. Still under 800 miles.

Nothing on the packaging nor fine print indicate a China production.

General tires I believe are owned and made by Continental tire company. Continental is the no. 1 tire manufacturer in Germany.

Nice car, but I thought 535i = the twin turbo engine with one exhaust tip on each side, not two on the left side.

I'm guessing the M Tech kit also includes a rework of the exhaust or does the 5-series have a different exhaust layout than the E90/92 TT models?
