Yes bigger wheels and less tyre is definetly on the cards. And slamming it on air ride.
First time it's been detailed since I've had it, which isn't great. Living on a development that is still being finished means it gets caked in dust all the time, so motivation to keep it clean is pretty much zero. But building work is finally done so figured I'd give it some TLC
Not that the paint was that bad because of its age, but it's back to feeling like glass again now. Claying/polishing/waxing in that heat was brutal though

That reminds me actually, when you accelerate with the window open can you hear a hissing sound from the turbo?
I could in the 640d
It's quite distinctive, my last 530d didn't do it but it was the older version of the engine. BMW said it was normal...
It is indeed. I challenged it too as it almost sounds like the turbo is bypassing but seemingly normal and acceleration certainly wasn't affected.
Yes!!!
glad it's not just meSee my post a while ago about it
Or wait...was that part of a troll because we have the same car? As you posted

Took a video ages ago as well
Pretty sure I could hear the turbo's on my 64 plate 530d with the window down. I quite liked it.
