Rayzor's F10 535i

[yush1]

Really looks slick. Just a quick question, does the tint on the headlights affect the strength of the headlights at night?

I would be lying if I said it didn't, however it is not major. I dont feel the need to get brighter bulbs or remove the tint. I will try and post a night pic:thumbs:

Kinda like wearing sunglasses at night? :roflol:

raise: one of the few 5ers that would make me want to own a 5

Just a small update, I had my spark plugs changed on the last service, but it seems that they were not holding up. I kept getting misfire errors, specifically on the 5th and 6th cylinders. Decided to upgrade them to NGK 1 step cooler, I have been running them on the wife's car and they been working well.

I must add the the f10 is a pain to work on to get to the plugs, the F30 design is so much better. I had to remove the entire intake and all pipes connecting to it. The replacement didnt take too long though. The worst was having my engine eat up a T30 key spanner. I searched everywhere for it but could not find it. I went as far as removing the under tray but to no avail. Guess its part of the car now :roflol:

Stripped down..

Small clean up and assembly..

Additional work I had to do to search for my T30.
Huge thanks to @tr0jan for the ramps :ty:

Great stuff Ray, I always wonder whether my car will make it up a ramp like that. I am curious about those ramps?

 

[NBN]

Thanks bud...on their website they didnt look like they raised a car by very much....

What was your experience with them in terms of ease of use etc..did they move or at any point did they lift up as the weight of the car shifted on them?

They worked great, I tried my best to tuck them under the wheels before driving up so they pretty much stayed in place with little to no movement. Working underneath was a little tight but not uncomfortable. Definitely way better than have the car on Jack stands

Especially with quick jobs, like me where i have to strip boost pipes and replace seals....will check up with Aderndoff.

@sash let me know how they work please.

I have a different set at home, but my car can’t make it up them.

I cant confirm, but it looks like it has two slots, where it could be permanently mounted...I am sure there is a way to use these slots and some sort of combination of a bolt and fastener that goes into the paving that can be bolted and unbolted....

They held up the f10, so e90 will be a breeze :tiptoe:
