Hi everyone. Have not posted here in a while. Just picked up a leftover 2010 Carbon black 535 with M-sport pack from dealer.
Need some suggestions for wheels.
I want to cover the taillights with black film, but unable to find one.
Also want to add iphone adapter.

1. Thanks.
2. I have xDrive and I am told that 166 and 167 M6 wheels do not fit 535xi due to offset.
3. I pinged rvinyl and they replied that their film is for pre-facelift E60 and does not fit facelift 2008+ E60. Are the taillights that different?
4. Yes, I have the USB adapter

Any one did the CSL or BBS wheels on xi?
Any other mod suggestions?

Vorsteiner CS-01 are the BEST wheels for Xi, IMHO

If you have a USB adapter already, don't waste your money on the iPhone adapter - just get a regular charger and use a flash memory stick for the music etc. OR get the Dension, which will give you additional aux inputs, TV input and so forth.

Thanks. Nice Bimmers you got. Never did this. You paint from inside or outside?
