Nice car, but I thought 535i = the twin turbo engine with one exhaust tip on each side, not two on the left side.
i believe that only applies to the 335s.

Looks great!
However, I prefer the pdc painted.
It looks to me from his pics that the "black" pdc holes are dark because there is nothing in them - eg the front/rear bumpers are fabricated with the PDC port openings - but maybe no PDC system installed on his car - so nothing goes in there? Just my thought, can we get confirmation?

I left them black or as is from the factory..unpainted..thought it added a personal touch, and it matches the trim.

It doesn't look like it needs to be lowered??? Offcourse.., pics and real-life give 2 total different looks to the human eye. What do you think calypsobimmer?? Is there a big enough gap to warrant new springs??? Oh btw, congrats on your new car!! I luv your setup and aiming to purchase the 167's in the near future.

I will be returning to the dealer today for final ticket and cost. Some adjustments need to be made.

I will provide responses later on today.
calypsobimmer, are you in a position to share what your cost was to add the M-Tech kit to your 535?

Thanks,

Lou

Try sending a PM to quad_m (Tony). He's a member on this board and has sold a lot of M Tech kits to people on this forum.

Calypso, your car looks great! Congrats!

Approx $4000. painted and installed. I know of someone who paid approx $10000 for the same install on a 535i. Global imports of ATL did his.
