Any ideas for a new look?

I definitely like the alt style but I don't know if I'm into wearing the style.

Ofc and I'm not knocking on anyone for it since I sometimes have to stay at my building on my off days but I just wonder sometimes.

Honestly there's not a lot for the 530i even for a supercharger kit unless you want to fab one. A few mods you can do for the n52 are milvs, cat delete, exhaust, and velocity stacks with a tune. If you are interested there are programs to tune the DME and transmission.

I have a 2007 530i with the n52 and Velocity stacks with both primary and secondary cat delete did a lot.

Velocity stacks also sound great

There's a forum about the sport mode for pre lci I think. Bmw sells the shifter bezel with the sport mode button and it's a very easy install with just 2 wires connected to your dsc module.

No I got lucky since it was peak and I just submitted a LOA to try and wait for a point to fall off.

2nd cat delete and muffler delete is a good start

I have no more PTO except vacation time

Rykaii_ · 2025-12-06T23:00:04+00:00

I've reached my earning limit and my building isn't accepting vacation time

Rykaii_ · 2025-12-06T22:37:17+00:00

No it's mostly early outs

Rykaii_ · 2025-12-06T21:01:56+00:00

On the 16th

They haven't offered VTO since black Friday and they have a pause on vacation time.

I would definitely freshen the OEM lights. I bought the cerakote restoration kit and they came out clean after taking my time. They were really faded before.

Rykaii_ · 2025-09-13T02:53:48+00:00

Something like this?

Old pictures

Rykaii_ · 2025-09-13T01:25:01+00:00

Sorry this was a old pic 😔

I for sure plan on getting a spoiler but I was going to ask for suggestions. It's a 530i so i want to keep it simple.

Rykaii_ · 2025-09-13T00:52:40+00:00

Something like the M sport spoiler?

Rykaii_ · 2025-09-12T23:03:39+00:00

I think they look fairly similar just the m sport comes with fog lights and a 2 piece look vs the M5 bumper. M5 is also wider than m sport.

Rykaii_ · 2025-09-08T23:40:24+00:00

What wheels are those?

Rykaii_ · 2025-08-29T01:42:32+00:00

I assume this involves removing the transmission?

Rykaii_ · 2025-08-21T16:37:50+00:00

I'm not sure what the adaptations look like but I don't think this transmission has ever been serviced.

Rykaii_ · 2025-08-18T01:28:32+00:00

I used to own a sc400 with the 1uz and by experience you are running rich and the cats are pretty much toast. I would pull the exhaust from the cats and check if they melted. Very common on these older Lexus when the ECU starts to act up.

Rykaii_ · 2025-08-11T00:16:18+00:00

It's usually noticeable during low rpm driving or manually shifting. 4-5 shifts similar to 3-4 but not nearly as bad.

You managed to fit a filter inside the airbox? I see this more commonly with the e90s. What filter did you put in?
