The impulse to change the circle comes from BBS RI-D, a single piece of aviation aluminum forging, with a hub center cover with the word “DURA”, which can only be prohibitive after understanding the product positioning. The same forging process Rays positioning is more close to the people, the first goal is the new G025 MK color, but the shipment life is up to four months and only 19-inch specifications, the original 664m wheel hub design is just suitable for MP calipers, but the 19-inch stepped inner ring design of the wheel can not be installed, the choice of the target can only be 20 inches.
Rays Volk Racing series G16, G25Edge are suitable for 5er (G30) data, unfortunately the two available data do not have MK color spot, and finally found a set of ME color G16 spot, incomparably tangled after reluctantly started. The ME color is not as bright as it looks on the picture, and it is dark with texture. After getting on the bus, the effect is good. I have to admire that the paint texture of Rays is really good. BMW’s original hub screws are just right on the rear wheel, and the front wheel is somewhat sunken. A set of BLOX forging screws are changed, and the color is close to the hub of the gun ash. The PS4S,20 inch tire of the tire is much more comfortable than the original 19-inch explosion-proof tire. The explosion-proof tire is not only hard but also easy to skid, for the use of asphalt pavement, there is really no need to suffer the crime of explosion-proof tire. With tire pressure monitoring and inflatable pump, it can reach the tire shop. This set of tires not only improves the comfort but also greatly improves the braking effect.
The fun of modification is to study the process of products, look up the brand website to query the data, search the modification cases, and finally choose the products and programs that suit you; to borrow the words of the car media, “you can’t be poor with wheels, you can’t put on the brakes.”

The original intended model is the G30 530iM, the power parameters and configuration are very satisfactory, on the day of booking, I accidentally saw the 525iM in the dark night blue outside the exhibition hall, and I was very excited to see the real car with this color for the first time. The overall visual effect of this car with 664m black wheels is more coordinated than that of the 530iM standard 664m wheels, taking into account factors such as waiting for two months to rebook and unknown offers. The incomparable entanglement in my heart brought up this weak power 525iM.

Due to the increase of wheel hub size and the weak brake of single piston in front and rear of 525i original car, daily driving brakes are lack of safety. In order to improve braking effect and improve daily driving braking performance, we gradually study and upgrade the brake kit suitable for G30. At present, there are only M Sport and M Performance electronic parking products on the market without changing the original car. The advantage lies in the replacement construction of the original car to avoid too many unstable factors. I have consulted several merchants with the supply of M Performance brakes, and as there is no modification store with long-term local cooperation in Xiamen, I was unable to cooperate with foreign merchants for the sake of after-sales service. Finally, I found a consultation from a well-known local modification store in Xiamen. I was glad that the staff I communicated with had a supply and convinced me of the knowledge of brake products. After all, brake modification involves safety, and the construction quality and after-sale of professional modification stores are more guaranteed. The person in charge of “every day” to arrange orders and construction are very efficient, thanks to “every day” in the exchange process of the reference suggestions, comprehensive product characteristics, the choice of their own modification is also perfect. After the first test run, I feel that the travel of the front part of the brake pedal is longer than before. After a few days of driving, the empty position in the front part of the brake pedal is gradually shortened. At present, hundreds of kilometers are used, and the braking effect is more sensitive and linear than the original car. The only disadvantage is that the speed exceeds the 40km/h will have a “cicada sound” sound. Thanks to the sound insulation of this generation of 5 series, closing the glass basically cancels out the noise, otherwise it is simply torture to the ear.

The tire pressure monitoring of the original car can not show the real-time tire pressure of the four wheels, and the safety configuration RDC is a necessary upgrade. Coincidentally, the forum post saw that there was a modification store in Xiamen that specially provided the German car factory upgrade. While entering the store to upgrade the RDC, the shop consulted the follow-up headlights by the way. The shop provided the original car headlamps replacement upgrade, the original car low-configuration LED headlamps were the halogen bulb turn lights, and the bilateral single low-light combination. Considering that he has poor eyesight at night, and the urban areas often encounter blind people who turn on high lights, the upgraded adaptive headlamps have a combination of four low lights to enhance lighting, and the beauty of the whole lamp group has also improved a lot. Why not kill two birds with one stone? On the day of entering the store, RDC accessories were installed on the spot. Except for the slow installation of the built-in tire pressure monitoring valve in the tire shop, the efficiency of the staff in the retrofit store in brushing the computer is still satisfactory. The scheduled adaptive headlamp assembly will arrive in two days and arrive at the store for construction the next day as promised. The front bar and the middle net need to be removed to install the headlamp. By the way, the film maker in the store will paste the original chrome-plated frame of the middle net into bright black. The whole front face is finally free of chrome plating. After several hours of construction, the self-adaptive headlamp was installed and debugged, and a pair of headlamp film was given to the shopkeeper. The overall lighting effect of the new headlamp was very satisfactory. After the installation, the shop owner helped to brush the start and stop memory function. Thank you for Xiao Lin’s introduction and construction arrangement.

After nearly five months of use, the entire vehicle’s XP lacquer transparent film that was built the next day after picking up the car, and the edge of the mirror mirror and the one side of the front bumper were replaced twice without charge. The after-sales service is indeed reliable. Compared with the CP lacquer transparent film posted on another car in 15 years, the CP brand has now lost its sound in Xiamen, which can be said to be after retail sales; The transparent paint film can resist slight scratches, but it cannot prevent exotic and unscrupulous electric bicycles who drive without long eyes. Especially when the uneven parts of the body are squeezed and scratched by large external forces, the transparent paint film will basically be torn. This product can only prevent damage to the paint surface to a large extent. It is a good choice for friends who do not want to paint frequently due to fine scratches or bird droppings resin penetrating into the paint surface. It is much more practical than chemical products such as coating, crystal plating, and porcelain.

The 525iM is a model that needs improvement too much. If you don’t rush to order the 530iM for the current car, it can reduce a lot of trouble. After all, the 530iM is original with 252 horsepower and comes standard with adaptive headlights, 360 panoramic view, Harman Karton, electric tailgate, M Sport brake group, 664M wheel hub, etc., the price/performance ratio is beyond 525iM; the content of this post is purely personal opinion, and riders are welcome to communicate.
