BMW 5 series - ICE, BSI aftercare packages & other post purchase queries

@ Sujithnk: The DVD system is meant for Navigation, as Maverick rightly said, and the main purpose it being a DVD System, is that in Europe and also in US, they have the entire US/Europe MAP in one DVD, as most people there keep driving from one country to another by road. So the data comes up to around 2.5 - 3 gb for the entire Europe map.

My friend had taken the chasis number to buy ipod kit in dubai and they told him that in india its 2007 model 5 series and apparently there is a 2008 model 5 series released in dubai .

Is it so ?

thanks

Hey sujith, its not me who said anything about the swap.The thing about the '07 BMW in India is not true, what we are getting is indeed the '08 Model year 5 series, i have even given you the production date of your car.

Regards,
Mav!

Looks hot ...makes even those 18inchers look small !

Do you guys do a buyback of the orignal bumpers in exchange for these?

Is it possible to just get the the lip spoiler or would one need to buy the entire package?

sujithnk · 13th August 2008, 00:22

maverick trust me that whole car looks amazing after the mkit
now what i want to know
1 . how much it will cost?
2 . will BMW let me fix it especially because they say that they will fit only genuine bmw kits with a bill of a bmw dealer or there is a high chance they might not give me the service package ?
please help
thanks

One more thing i wanna know is when i saw the front bumper,where does the infrared camera go .
I dint see a slot for the camera.

sujithnk · 13th August 2008, 15:19

go for the Magnaflow Exhaust Tips... u will have to cut your existing tips a little bit to make them straight, if they are curved downside.

@ MAverick... thats a bloody awesome car u got there!

the KIT is lovely! please do put in details as to how much it cost u ..the complete kit.

Are you sure they're 18" wheels? Looks like 17" to me; the tyre profile looks bigger.

its 18 for sure...45 profile...standard on the 530i+530d highline

@ ID, the entire M kit would cost around 3 lacs! that includes the front and rear bumper along with the spoiler. Also we have a good looking set of alloy wheels with DUnlop SP Sport 245/40 R18 available.. let me know if anyone is interested.Here are a couple of pics,

speedy · 19th August 2008, 02:35

Maverick the 5 series looks hot with the MKit. is it also available for the 3 series and for the X5? could you also order M or other wheels for the car?
is this at the worshop, i spot an old 3 series in the background.

Insane Devil · 19th August 2008, 09:01

OH MAVERICK! my bad i missed this wheels!
Just last week i negotiated with the dealer to take back just the tyres and i have ordered for my 17" tyres,,,reaching me on wednesday.

I was contemplating the idea, and had asked the dealer to take back the 17" rft tyres, along with the RIMS, and give me the 530d highline rims - 18" instead, well, before he gave me a reply, i just cancelled that idea, and settled for the 17" for better cusioning for indian roads.

But the wheels u got, are hot!

thanks Mav!

Maverick5490 · 20th August 2008, 09:14

@ Speedy, The M Kit for the 3 Sries E90 is totally NOT worth it.. will see if i can find the pics of a couple we installed.As for the X5, as of now we do not have an M kit, will let u know as soon as i have the info.For now i am uploading pics of a couple of X5's with new rims and tyres.. the rear tyre are 335/30 R21!!

looks hot..

Maverick5490 · 20th August 2008, 10:39

Hey Speedy,

Found the pics of the 320d with the M kit.. have a look, and yes that is a red E30 316i in the back ground in one of the pics.

Sahil · 20th August 2008, 10:46

Mav, did you guys paint those rims on the X5 or powdercoat them to black?

I have been thinking about getting my rims painted to a hypersilver finish similar to the AC schnitzer or M5 166m rim's color.
How do you think they would look on the 525d radial spoke 244 rims? Also what would this approx cost?

P.S: Just noticed that the 320d has its exhaust tip facing straight up, do all 320d have it this way? Most german diesel including the 5 and E have it facing downwards
