My Ride: 2011 BMW 535i Dark Graphite
Sup fellas. I was looking into purchasing some aftermarket parts for my car and wanted your suggestions. I've already done tint, fog lights, AC Schnitzer roof spoiler & deck lid spoiler, and got 20" rims. (I'll post pics when I get the chance.)
Right now I'm interested in performance mods + more cosmetic mods. Do any of you guys know of any shops in Southern California that specialize in that type of thing? Where is the best place to purchase aftermarket parts online as well? Thanks in advance.

You should consider an aftermarket exhaust also.

Thanks for the quick reply, do you know of any places I can get the quad exhaust and chips and body kits in SO CAL. Been really eager to get something and I got jacked like SOC FANS with the B&B Cold Air Intake. Thanks everyone!

Hamann US distributor can point you to a dealer (714) 375 9666
Also the guys at evosport (888) 520-9971 are pretty knowledgable about chips.

I believe alex.br is the has the only chipped 545 to date. Look up his particulars by doing search on chip tuning and his name and that should get u some info on just his setup. His is an add on outboard setup. Info here: http://www.dastek.co.za/
The other chip tuners are modifying the ECU code. Wetterauer at:
http://wetterauer.de/
and another here are all that I know of so far.

Yeah I will definitely let you guys know which route I end up taking. I have been talking to Jack at DAI Motorsports here in Laguna Niguel, CA. He's calling up ESS Tuning and AA to see if they can sponsor me on a prototype for the SUPERCHARGER for the 545i. I cant wait!!! In the mean time I think I will just bust out the Eisenmann Quad with the Hamman or the M tech kit for now.
