My Ride: 2010 BMW 535i 6 speed
Smile Hello all...

Hello there, new to BMWs...

Been in the mustang game for the past 14 years. I've owned a few others vette,t/a,z28 and a few bikes here & there. I've built a few turbo & s.charged cars & a few NA.
I was going to with a 335i & ended up getting a good deal on this 535i... On top of not being able to find a 6 speed model local.


Anyhow, I also belong to a few other forums. I stumbled across this one looking for info on modding the BMW. Hopefully I can get some good advice here.


Thanks in advance.

Jb4 iso g5+USB + dci (white filters), ER charge pipe anodized black w/TIAL bov w/meth bung (hopefully get a meth kit very soon).

Dci & jb4 arrived today, just waiting on charge pipe & bov to arrive. I'm going to run my buddy with 07 sts-v to see the comparison of how well I do after mods.

Ended up running my buddy with the 07 sts-V... He has intake & borla exhaust & my 535i is still stock.

Ran from a 1st gear roll @ about 10mph, first run forgot to disable DTC & car fell on its face. 2nd run same 10mph, he got about 4 cars away from me & I started closing in but not until like 110 or so. I'm going to try to get another run in from a higher speed before the mods to see if I do any better. Plus I'm still waiting on the charge pipe.
