Arrow F10 535i going for as clean as possible

Wifes car. I was ordered not to mess with it.
M sport package helps.

;-)

So I tried to do it unnoticeable.
Chipped burger tuning
Black kidneys
Lowered
Wheel spacers
Painted side markers
Michelin super sport, no run flats.

Looks stock just nicer. Needs 20" but these will have to do.

Very nice and clean. And awesome car for the wife.

Lowering makes such big difference.

Thank you.

H&R springs only.
I think 1.5" lower, it really looked silly OEM.
Cars sit right makes a lot of difference.

I tried Dynoing but the car would not do it, computers did not allow it. I took it to Palm Beach International Raceway and it held up for 5 laps and that's 2 more on most other cars with OEM brakes I have taken there, including AMG's. with 8 speed tranny it was hard to figure out what gear to be in with the flappy pedals.
In Sport + it is more capable then I expected for a 4000lb car, also due to the Michelin SuperSports. I'll try to take it to the drag strip see if the chip and tires do anything 1/4 mile just for the hell of it. It replaced an MB CL65 so it feels slow over 100Mph, but the 8 speed makes up for a lot up to say 60-70. Just curious I guess.

Picture below is OEM straight from dealer, I don't have a pic, but the rear ride height was worse. I have seen some other 528's and 535 without M Sport package and they sat lower??!! Looks like a 4x4. and it is not even a 535XI.

For a wife car this is pretty damn good. No need for 20" wheels.

Car looks great! You should be able to dyno it. I think you just have to turn off traction control and then "drive" it on the dyno for a minute or so at low speed until all other assists disable.
