Did he have to screw the rear diffuser back on behind the reflectors because he broke the clips when he just pulled the old diffuser off?
I've been to these guys and didnt even interact and left quickly. It was immediately obvious that they tart up low spec cars with really cheap and nasty ebay parts & wheels which will crack or bend as soon as they look at a pothole and stick crappy budget tyres on which isn't exactly safe! To top it off, they ask a premium. My suggestion is to do it all yourself 'properly' with quality parts, wheels & tyres....
U went to this guy?
@@YameenAli0923 If you had both read AND UNDERSTOOD his first TWO WORDS...you will have the answer, without needing to ask. CLUE....."I'VE BEEN"
WELL SAID. Complete Transformation = ebay wheels and M Perf kit. The replica alloys are terrible compared to bmw original.
Nail on head. Tarted up cars with a bit of cheap bling and then offered for sale at a silly mark up. They’ll fool some people but the more astute will see straight through their MO.
@@YameenAli0923No, he went to that other guy.
Great transformation well thought through. The new alloys expose the callipers more so surprised you didn’t paint them while wheels were off?
Coilovers and a truck lip would be the cream on the cake. Very nice build.
Great job!!!
Nicely done. This is oryginally a g30 luxuryline before the FL. Can you show any g30 luxuryline after the Face Lift tuned in this way? Are there any maxton party for the g30 luxury after the FL or maybe the same parts fit for both wersions before and after the FL? I have a g30 530i xdrive black luxury line with a Shadow pack this is why i am asking. Thanks for the info.
Music is sick too!
Amazing video.
He is punching holes through the diffuser with screws wtf😮
superb!
Nice transformation. What colour is the car?
Can I bring in my g30 for the body parts ? I don’t wants the wheels and tyres. Also do you fit boot lips spoilers ?
I have the exact same car as the 'before' version (same color, same rims, ..everything). I want to change to a black grill and put on a front splitter too. But I'm keeping the rims.
Black grill is an easy and cheap update. I did mine and it looks great. Will also put a carbon fibre front splitter soon too.
What Diffuser did you use have you got a link
I would have stuck with just the black fill. 20inch wheels are just money pits for tyres.
Out of curiosity, who manufacturers the skirts and grill accessories?
How much do the body kit parts cost to add?
is there a link to purchase the black grille. interested
Are those new tyres "run-flat" tyres?
Big improvement, shame you don’t put premium tyres back on the vehicle
Yes another company in Nottingham called YNC (your next car) do the same with their bmw stock.. brand new replica bmw alloys with pi55 poor brand new ditch finder tyres all round!
@@kamranhussain578 practicalmaix!!
Tires come and go! Did they use the air freshener your like!?
@@theophilusone7 watcha talkin bout fool?! tyres are the one component that have contact with the ground so it’s imperative that they are of good reliable quality! It’s just something one cannot skimp on dawg!
@@kamranhussain578 there new, not old. I drive R 305 all the way around on my 750li. The R 275 I have on my N52 do just fine. Tires don't last n if they do your not driving!
can't wait to pick up my one at the end of next week :)
You need to add all info.
That looks great ! Maxton right the kit
Nope just ebay parts
@@hc5253 What's the hate for?
I bought a g30 almost 2 years ago from this company. They put low quality alloys on it and was looking stunning until I hit a pot hole which cracked on the spot. That was a month after the purchased ending up I spent 1K more to replace all 4 with originals. I called the company sadly they were not really helpful.
Yeh they use cheap replica alloys , I was considering buying from them buy just keeps seeing too many horror reviews. Will buy elsewhere and just buy the quality parts and fit them myself or get them fitted.
All cheap quality products
Hey did you guys change the number out
Is it possible to order some tuning parts from you ?
You changed the wheels, put on a side skirt, and added a few bits of black! Looked ok before you touched it and how much did it actually cost? More important, did it really increase the value of the car?
Alan
what this company does is buy more standard cars and sell them with kits to clients, that way clients always come to them as they know they get a kitted car, its not so much to increase value its to target that market
Modifications pretty much never add value. If anything they detract it when you try to sell it
This dealership is too funny😂, the way they show the photos on autotrader they don’t even show specific parts of the car because they know it’s shit
How much with and without the wheels.
Sorry but as a g30 msport owner I have to say that I prefer the standard trim and stock wheels. The only thing I would do maybe is replace the chrome kidney grills with high quality gloss black ones. 🤔
where do u buy the grills
Good video! I'm surprised how much negativity people are on comments below. When doing something like what you do - you will always get people that are jealous / dreamers. I would definitely bring my 5 series msport xdrive BMW to your workshop to put some addons. I look forward to your next video - thumbs up to the camera man 👍🏽
Just do your research on replica alloys buddy before you do
That rear diffuser looks like a cheap piece of crap off of eBay. That is not OEM. You do not install an OEM diffuser by screwing it in with a drill!
He had to drill it as he broke the clips when he RIPPED the original one off.
I’m not sure how they think it’s a good idea showing some plank shoving 2” screws in to the back bumper! Utter idiocy and the £70 Practicalmax ditchfinders just show the the level of investment in the aftermarket tat. Avoid at all costs, if you want to customise your 5 series, do it yourself with quality parts fitted by a reputable body shop.
Who makes the wheels? Side skirt? Etc
My guess is some underpaid guy in China...😉
What kind of wheels are those?
Just what I need, 600 quid Replica alloys on my 30grand 5er.
😂
I love to buy these, where do I buy?
@@nourhussein365 eBay they come from China.
where do you acquire the parts.. I want those same ones in gloss black.. I just don't want the carbon fiber look
Ebay
What would you charge if someone with a G30 wanted this done to their car?
what wheels are those?
Name der Seitenschweller ?
Had my 530e for a year now from S James. 30k and rear tyres need changing, fronts still a way to go. No issues with grip in all weather conditions. Car looks great and accessories still firmly in place. 👍Alloys have not bent with pothole hits but lacquer has started to show wear. This seems to be the case with all modern alloys so can't complain. Mechanically, car has been faultless to date. Good job. 👍
Aftermarket rims dont seem to hold up in winter weather.
@@leonk8113 have had this issue with oem wheels on a golf too. Tyres were wrong size on my 530e, too stretched. Only found out when changing was a bulge on inside edges of both rears. Have upgraded to Kumho all round with bigger side wall. Improved ride quality, grip & looks better with the slightly higher ride height on these models
Where can I purchase the exact parts displayed on the video ?
Someone said Maxton Design but it looks sightly different

Ebay
Can you provide the part names for the front splitter and side skirts?
ebay
what kind of tires did you use for it?
Took off Goodyear and put on PracticalMax
@@hc5253 took off premium brand and replaced it with budget, a running theme in the whole so called transformation!
@@MIK23458 untransformation / detransformation
@@hc5253 people should never be in a rush to replace oe parts. I’ve learnt this the hard way, if you use good quality replacements what they call oe+ then all good. However using cheap Chinese originated products is utter folly. If you want to upgrade use genuine or equivalent, European manufactured items. Most Chinese stuff is low quality ‘mug’s eyeful’ gear. As in it looks good but is usually style over substance.
@@MIK23458 Ive driven a car on replica alloys before and I would never ever recommend them to anyone. Trash.
Where can I find all the upgrades you used on this 5 Series?
Check out unit17 sandy lane Birmingham
Ebay
+ for modding in general if OEM+. - for modding cheap looking parts with no OEM wheels, cheap tires, no cleaning or mesuring. Use screws instead so one can convert back to stock. This is rediculous!
You forgot the most important upgrade, the Adaprive LED Headlights
Link the parts
Hi - will upgrading to 20'' wheels increase/decrease the stability at high speed ? I have exact same 530D with same stock alloys and wheels but they hit almost all mid sized bumps...:(
Yes bigger alloys on this car will make it way more bumpy and not as stable, you'll feel more of the firm ride. 20 aren't the best ride unless your car has the adaptive dampers option (button hear the gear knob)
Ride will be worse, and definitely dont go for replica alloys, they are trash. Just do 10&12mm spacers that will make a big difference
I have the 20" alloys and ride is still smooth. No noticeable stability issues at speed and plenty of traction off the line. Stock non m-sport suspension as mine is the 530e. I believe the suspension change was due to the extra weight of the electric motor and small battery pack. Fitting the correct tyres makes a big difference to ride quality and grip.
No LED Lights…
Great tranformation but one tip I will give you , never do a customers vehicle with yhe operator wearing jewellery, easy to scratch the vehicle in yje process, this was our first process before we started sorting yhe vehicle out
Transform my bmw
Ahh yes putting cheap Tyres on a 300+ hp luxury car. Then sell the car for top money. Cowboy dealership.
black car with black grille is boring for me. I would have left the grille chrome.
Way to ruin a car with cheap parts and budget tyres. Great 👍 👌. It would have been better if you just painted the alloys black and black front grill and that's it, that would look so much better
Too dam dark contrast in this video , it's frustrating trying to see any details....
Advertise as high end dealer, add cheap parts and ramp up the price, want full money but wont offer anything back on PX, avoid!
Address please

Led headlights are must
they are led bruv just dont the adaptives
@@umut5588 nah those are d2s bulb
@@MegaKakaa these are LEDs but non-adaptives one
Good grief my heart nearly stopped watching you put that cone on a painted wheel with no cloth to stop it scratching. And gunning wheel nuts in? One mistake you're gunning a cross thread and replacing the hub. Ffs start the bolts/nuts with your fingers then torque them up.
Cool vid but awful music choice!
SIMPLY LOOK AT OTHER UPGRADE VIDEOS, TO SEE HOW LITTLE HAS BEEN DONE HERE AND BADLY. WHY MAKE A SONG AND DANCE ABOUT CHANGING A PLUG AND PLAY GRILLE AND SOME WHEELS?. NONSENSE.
I never trust mushroom heads....
needs lowering!!!!!!
You just put on cheap crappy quality parts, i looked at your website thinking wow but reading reviews my god avoid avoid.
use plastic removal tools, alloys not genuine, bad choice, tyres made in china….. shame
Please wear quieter clothing. Cheers.
Absolutely waste of time, and waste of money...
Originally looked much better...
He is punching holes...😮.It will look nice but these parts are a big question mark.
Be carful buying cars from these guy they remove original wheels and sell them and replace them with after ter market junk hit a pot hole and they fall apart
You have ruined a quality car!
Cheap after market wheels (you get to sell the genuine ones for a fortune)
Cheap chav plastic parts.
Cheap quality. Cheap looking!
You are the kind of guy who thinks rolling in his stock car is looking cool ? A tunned e60 looks 10times MORE quality car than a stock g30 which is 6 times the price !
Barry they where dead 18 inch wheels how would they sell them for a fortune the car looks so much better after the styling
Looks chav
Stock parts/variants always have higher resale value. If you want to save money just buy aftermarket parts on an entry level spec
@@tahree2033 they obviously marked up the price by around 30-40%.
