    Default Newbie with '91 535I 5 speed.

    I've lurked here for a while and thought I'd go ahead and register up today. Here's my 1991 535I 5 speed. Suspension mods are H&R springs, bilstein shocks, and some poly bushings here and there. Power mods are a header, Remus exhaust, and a modified air box. The car is my daily driver and has been dead reliable in the past 18 months that I've owned it. Here are some shots I took of it this past weekend while out looking for some curvy roads!

    Nice car, welcome.
    Is that a sub propeller or part of Jon K's new turbo in the background?

    LOL, it is a turbine from a hydroelectric dam. The pictures were made when I stopped at Tim's Ford Dam in southern TN.

    Nice car! What poly bishings did you put? Btw, 535's air box design is efficient enough already, what modification have you done?

    Nice car!
    Nice tint!
    Welcome!
    What air box mods have you done? I tried some on my 525i and it failed horribly.
    Conforti chip, K&N filter, Racing-dyn sways, EBC pad/rotor, SS brakelines, UUC DSSR, custom sound+alpine receiver, 17" PS2s, H&R/bilsports.

    Nice looking car. Looks basically like mine. scary how similar they will be. I'm going to be putting H&Rs on my bilsteins soon. I have a Remus catback too. how do you like yours?

    Also, what headers do you have on your car? I have a set of Racing Dynamics that I'll be putting on soon. Do you have any pictures of the headers installed or any sound clips? Looks like our cars will be twins
