So I purchased this car brand new in 2012 and kept it completely stock until March 2022
I recently got a 2022 Model Y performance as my new daily so decided to go crazy on the F10
Also want to point out that this car is actually very reliable if you just do the basic maintenance that is expected for a BMW
I’ve been posting this build on my IG: automaz_

I just dropped the car off to get wrapped so figured I’d finally create a thread on the forums
