New Pics: 540i M-Sport and 525i's

[SC David]

It finally stopped raining last night, so Josh, Victor and myself cleaned up our cars a bit and met up to take some pics around San Francisco. Here's what I came up with:

Some seriously impressive Photog.

All three cars are looking sharp. The M-Sport's got some notorious front bumper cover sag going on, though. Authentic M-Parallels?

[SC David]

real nice. how did u do the shadowline?I went through the long process of masking off nearly the entire car and spraying it since I didn't want to risk bending it, and didn't want to buy new clips. It was a kind of spur of the moment ordeal on a weekend. If I had to do it again, I'd take it off the car and THEN paint it.

[repenttokyo]

is that one of the canada-only m sports?

Yeah, he says he will soon be getting the bumper resprayed, but I don't know how you would fix the sagging. I believe the wheels are authentic, yes. He just replaced the throwing stars with them, but kept those as backup wheels.

[SC David]

is that one of the canada-only m sports?It's one of the 200 (?) US M-sports. I think the Canadian version was the M540i.

Correct. Manual?

[Renman]

OH Yeah! Freaking sweet pics!

The tabs holding the lower part of the lip to the upper portion snap when there's contact with the lower lip of the front spoiler (Usually happens with the parking curbs).

Simply replaced the cover/Spoiler on our M-Sport...Trying to figure out if there's a way to repair it on the M5...Have to love the expense of anything with M on it.

Especially stuff you are forced to get from the dealer. And yeah, it's a 6 speed.

Homeland Security asleep on the job?
I work at a Port and I can't hardly get my car that close to the cranes. You must be an insider or else the security is weak there too! Ha. Those pics were nice. Gave me the urge to burn rubber!

Gave me the urge to burn rubber!Haha, it was a Sunday night, so I guess they didn't care. It's next to a recycling plant so we just acted like we were heading in there, but then veered off to the left. Victor had been there before since his friend's dad is a cop...but I suppose we could have gotten in trouble. Maybe I shouldn't have posted the pics up ;)

[bigtisas]

They are BEAUTIFUL!

[liquidtiger720]

Awomse pictures!

My pictures didnt turn out good, I wasn't thinking too much. haha.

I wish I could have stayed for those port shots!

[Randell]

wow, hot cars and great photography!

don't suppose you could upload full-res photos for us to use as desktop wallpaper? :)

[Macv]

Amazing shots. Have you got any high-res pictures of them?

[shrike071]

Awesome... I have M5 envy....

[MTechnik540i]

Awesome... I have M5 envy....

Me too...But, where are you seeing the M5?

[shrike071]

3rd pic down? Isn't that an 'M' badge on the rear of the black one? M-sport, I mean...

[e345spd]

I guess I've found some desktop backgrounds to last me a while....that is only if you don't mind!

Do you work there? I work at the terminal in Honolulu and it would take quite a bribe to get my car under the cranes? Or is the SF port shut down? Everything out of Oakland.

[SC David]

Thanks for the comments guys! I'm on another computer right now, and these pictures look much darker than they did on my computer at home, so I'm going to rework them a little bit when I get back, and then post up the better ones in a bigger size.

Everything out of Oakland.No one was working on Sunday, and it's next to a recycling plant. A few people drove by, but no one said anything. It's right next to an SFPD training facility as well, so I'm sure if what we were doing was of any great security concern, we would have been told to leave. It was certainly tempting to go out and do some donuts on the HUGE expansive amounts of pavement out there, but we minded our manners :)

Those are awesome pictures. I just wish my car looked as clean as your guys.
