It's certainly mainly a cosmetic upgrade, the parts are flawless and just pure joy to look at, fitment and craftsmanship are amazing 😊
Powerwise, I can't really tell a difference, a JB4 tune or similar for a lot less money will do a better job 😎
However, the engine is spooling up easier and the suction noise is intoxicating, especially after hard acceleration and then getting off the throttle...this wooosh sound makes Dyson & Co jealous 😂

Nice! They are awesome quality

I purchased the 10.25” Android Multimedia navigation system from DMP Car Design and I am VERY happy with the product!!

I own a BMW 2013 535i M Sport and the factory system was antiquated. I decided to upgrade it after doing a lot of research; I decided the DMP system was the best. The functionality of the DMP is flawless: all the factory functions still work such the backup camera, steering wheel buttons, Bluetooth connectivity, and BMW diagnostics plus the new features of high resolution touchscreen, CarPlay, streaming video and much more. Everything you need comes in the box! Installation and setup is easy and the customer support was outstanding from DMP. After watching a quick installation video on YouTube I started the install and when I had a question the engineer from DMP did a FaceTime call with me to answer my questions. In about 1.5 hrs the new headunit was installed and working perfectly. I own two F10 BMWs and I also plan to upgrade my ///M5 with the same unit. This navigation is better than factory; I believe this is how the car should be equipped from the factory. I give the DMP product and customer support a strong 5 out 5 rating! You won’t be disappointed!

Let us know how the button fitting goes.... I'm looking to do similar with my car in blue also!

Had the steering wheel re-wrapped by Coby Wheel in alcantara and ///M colored stitching. Figured as long as I had the steering wheel off, changed out the paddle shifters to Pedal Haus shifters to match my pedals.

Looks great! This is my next project as well. I have the pedal haus shifters in clear aluminum sitting in a box ready to install to match my pedals. I would like to get the wheel done as well. Thinking of going for a wrap with mix of perforated leather and alcantra. Did you ship your wheel or do a core exchange?

I shipped my wheel to Mike @ Coby Wheel. It all depends if he has a replacement core in stock that matches the options you have on your wheel. It ended up only taking about 1.5 weeks to return. His alcantara re-wrap maintains the steering wheel heating function (not that it gets cold enough for me to use anyway). He can also add more padding if you like a fatter wheel. I didn't ask if he did perforated leather or not. His alcantara is the same fabric BMW OEM uses. The stock grey matches our headliners.

I know people complain about the wear on alcantara and upkeep but the feel is just so nice

Looks nice, was thinking about doing the same but wasn't sure about their work.

I had a deep scratch on the OEM leather wheel from my wedding band so figured why not give it a try. Upkeep is definitely more work on the alcantara and you have to try and always have clean hands, but the feel is just so good

Anyways, Mike does amazing work. The alcantara is BMW OEM material and take a look at this stitching, absolutely perfect. If you do send your wheel, check with him about turn around time first because sometimes he does get busy and backed up.

Cleaned the trunk...

[Noggie]

Picked up the car after an oil change, updated the software on all units in the car to the latest version, and dropped a stage II tune in it.
Supposedly makes 670hp/840nm(619ft lbs) now.
My Michelin P4s's that had plenty of grip with the stock Comp Pack 575Hp is now struggling to find grip.

[SpeedProtocol]

New plugs, air filter, and charcoal filter delete.

Car feels so much more effortless to accelerate.

And just purchased 4 rotors and carbotech pads for next week.

[EMETREE]

Installed my KW V4s last week and got the car aligned yesterday.
Riding lower then before and a bit more aggressive fitment

[Passi-M5]

I had the michelin PS4S on the front installed. Had a screw in the tire. I still have Pirelli P Zero on the rear

[SpeedProtocol]

Preview for weekend. All 4 rotors and carbotech 1521 pads. I know its only stock brakes but it feels like im doing something since they are so huge and expensive. Original rotors are done for at 30k miles.

Also got ISTA+ installed and working.

[Doctor_X]

Polished the turbo oil feed lines, and converted the intake/charge pipe clamps to Stealth all black.

Also got a key upgrade - much needed on the f10 platform!

[SpeedProtocol]

I only got the front brakes done. It was almost 100 F out. I died a little in the process.

Otherwise they are some of the easiest brakes/rotors ive ever changed. Only a few bolts holding it all together.

New rotors / Carbotech 1521 pads
