I'll take care of uploading an audio clip, no problem. Yes, I'm leaning toward the OEM M5 diffuser and adding a CF insert later. The tips are 4, that's why I looked at the M5 diffuser, they fit on it without modification.

| mama1960 (452hp) | Here's the top view - the tips are intentionally a bit extended, I'm planning on an M5 diffuser or similar diffuser and when that's installed they have a lip that covers some of the tips.

| cbrown1 (917hp) | It probably would have been ideal to have the diffuser when you mounted the exhaust. This way you don't risk moving the exhaust again if you think the tips still stick out too far. That's what I plan to do. These 4 tips are

The M5 diffuser requires the left and right exhaust tips to be slightly closer together than on a normal F10. Not as extreme as the M3/M4, but also the M5, the exhaust pipes are closer to the center of the vehicle. http://f10.5post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=771326 Just compare the position of the right inner exhaust tip relative to the tow hook cover on the bumper of an M5 to a regular F10:

| candy77 (753hp) | Do you get the same thing too? When it rains or even during it rains or after a car wash, I open my trunk and all my stuff in the trunk gets wet from the water running from the trunk lid! Even if I do it slowly, I still get to my stuff a little bit. Is this just bad design? Does it happen to you too? Any solution?
|
| amb123 (143hp) | Yes, both I and the guy who installed it assumed that some adjustment would be required when installing the diffuser. That's okay, I'll take care of it.
|
| butterflie (179hp) | Definitely a bad design. Always happens. When the trunk of my automatic trunk is wet, I try to stop it just before it fully opens. After 4 years of ownership I am successful about 50% of the time. I store rags in the two places where the rain drips. My retired E60 had the same problem but no automatic trunk. The difference, however, was that the trunk went up so quickly that the rain/moisture drained away immediately.
|
| terence1 (631hp) | The M5 exhaust sits further in than the regular 5 Series. That's why there are differences in diffusers. Since I have the M5 DTM diffuser, I have to move my championship diffusers a little further inwards when installing the diffuser

| 22011990 (994hp) | By the way, since this exhaust fits the 535, 550 and M5 - I spoke with RPI, they are willing to offer a 25% discount to forum members who want this exhaust. The regular price is $1,200, but everyone here gets $900. Tell them I sent you

| blue07 (70hp) | Hi guys, I have a 2015 BMW 535i with the full M Sport package. Yesterday I took it to the gas station (SHELL) and filled up the tank (USED PREMIUM 91). When I got home everything felt and sounded good. After parking in my driveway for a few hours I got in to drive somewhere and when I started the car the check engine light came on and I quickly turned it off to see if there were any visibility issues. Opened the hood, no leaks, fluids and oil were all the way up and everything looked fine. Now I was shocked and confused as the car only has 13,000,000 miles on it. When I got back I spun the car around, took a few hard pulls and everything sounded and felt good. Please help me why this might be. I think it has something to do with the fuel and gas components. Maybe you didn't tighten the cap? I don't know, please help me. Have a nice day

|
| 6363 (49hp) | I mean the man above is right but check the gas cap, maybe you left it loose
|
| pulpwood (483hp) | My first thought was also the gas cap.
|
| maggie24 (46hp) | Since it happened shortly after filling up, it was most likely the gas cap. Just make sure you tighten it (again) and it will soon disappear. However, sometimes this is not the case, so the dealer will have to reset it for you. Even if it goes away on its own, you can see it the next time you take the car in for service. They constantly check any erroneous codes issued between visits.
|
| 17011992 (537hp) | To reassure you: The MIL (check engine light) only relates to emissions control issues. So there is no harm in continuing to operate your car while the MIL is lit. Most likely you didn't tighten the gas cap properly. It may take several engine on/off cycles for the MIL to clear after the triggering cause has been resolved. So don't let an MIL worry you in the future and continue to use the car as usual. The only thing that hurts is your wallet (after the warranty expires, of course) and the fact that you get annoyed (we all do that). But since it is a pollution problem, you should fix it as soon as possible (out of consideration for the environment). A cheap code reader of your FLAP will tell you what caused the MIL. Good luck.

| pawelek1 (586hp) | I purchased a black 2013 535 M Sport in Socal with 31,000 miles on the clock from a non-BMW dealer. The car still has another year of factory warranty, so it's important for me to keep track to make sure any hidden items are removed. The car's story began with Brea BMW as a two-year lease and then went from Irvine BMW to a second owner for just 1.2 years. The only Carfax item mentioned was an AC compressor replaced at 24,000 miles, otherwise the service history is just oil changes. No accidents were reported. What do I see on the car? 1. Half of the upper windshield is missing a weatherstrip and the other half appears unusually worn. Almost as if a new windshield had been installed and no one had bothered to replace the panel. The lower part of the weather strip on the windshield looks like it belongs on a ten year old car, not a three year old car. 2. The sunroof does not sit properly on the passenger side, it is a few noticeable millimeters higher than the roof line (only in one corner). 3. The wrap around the rear left side of the steering wheel (behind the cruise control buttons) has a small tab that sticks out and is not flush, almost as if someone pulled it off at some point. 4. When starting the car, the computer will display “Next service in 1/2000” on the dashboard. I was wondering what on earth would cause the car to say the year 2000? Is this an indication that someone messed with the car's coding? 5. Start/Stop button completely worn out. The previous owner of the vehicle was named Zachery Camp (Kamp?), he may even be on these boards, if so I would appreciate some information about this car. -Gabor

When I got the car I also got an extended warranty. This time I decided against CPO as I learned the hard way with my E60 that the CPO warranty does NOT cover electronics, which sucked when my sat nav/IDrive broke. They quoted me $2,800 for the replacement and another $1,400 for the TCU (Bluetooth module) replacement - neither of which were covered by CPO.

| 110220 (664hp) | Quote: Originally posted by mdriver2 The dealer called and confirmed exactly this assessment. The windshield had actually been replaced. Although the windshield is fine, they will be replaced under warranty with new BMW glass as well as the lower and upper fairings. Heck, you should bring your SA a dinner gift card or his favorite bottle. I do that when my SA takes good care of me. This dealer has really stepped up.

| hamsters1 (300hp) | It's cool that the dealer replaces the windshield, but why would they do that??
|
| speakers1 (246hp) | I had to go outside and look at mine and just like others have mentioned, the gasket is missing
|
| Fuman (57hp) | I just picked up the car after being away for a week. The windshield was replaced, as were the rubber strips at the top and bottom of the rubber trim. It was covered under warranty. They didn't have to do it, but I'm very grateful to the dealer for their efforts.

| 56 (36hp) | I'm glad it worked for you! If you'd like, post a picture of the top weather strip. I'm curious to see what it would look like

| danny20 (906hp) | I actually have a 640i but the forum isn't very active so I thought I'd ask here. I hear a very high pitched noise (~10,000 Hz) when accelerating when the throttle opening is 70% or more and only between 4,000 and 5,000 rpm. The noise builds up in this speed range and then disappears. The diagnostics show no error codes, there is no loss of performance or anything else. The car is under warranty, but the dealer is at a loss and doesn't know anything about it or is hesitant to fix the problems because there are no problems other than the noise. Any idea/direction?

| kos (271hp) | What if the car is stationary? Do you still hear that in the same speed range? I have, well, not a high pitch, but a certain humming noise coming from my engine at 2600-2800 RPM, both when accelerating, cruising, and stationary. Unfortunately, this RPM range is near highway cruising speed , and although it's not very loud, I don't think it should be there at all. The trader can hear it but doesn't know what to do until it gets louder. So I'm excited to see what you find.

| ah gon (787hp) | Yesterday after installing my jb4 and doing some hard driving I heard a buzzing noise on the right side of the engine where the turbo is located. I reached out to n54tech for help and a member said it was my boost solenoid that had broken or was starting to break. Watch the video in the link to see if that is the sound you are hearing. http://www.n54tech.com/forums/showthread.php?t=39294

According to my first post, I had a very high-pitched noise that was audible in the cabin. I dropped my car off for some other work today and out of sheer frustration at not knowing where to start, I asked to check the boost lines and boost solenoid.
|
| fkg7h4f3v6 (857hp) | No issues were noted with the boost solenoid or boost lines (i.e. no boost leaks). It looks like they'll be changing the turbo next, but I need the car today so I'll make a plan for that later.

| RadekG_CZ (338hp) | What would be the best cat-back setup if I want to try not modifying/trimming the stock M Sport rear diffuser? I try not to spend more than 1200-1500. Thanks.

| genocide (655hp) | I can't comment directly on the 535i, but in the 335i forum the BMW PE is a preferred system. Here's this for the 535i. I just bought a used 335i for half retail in great condition but haven't installed it yet. https://www.turnermotorsport.com/p-1...j8QaAtIN8P8HAQ The used Dinan was also on my wish list. If I buy a 535i it will definitely be one of these two systems. Frosted

| hard (431hp) | I am very happy with my MPE, but it is not a catback system. They are just silencers (axleback).).
