Hey guys. I recently had a thread in the general forum but I took some new pictures and thought I'd share on here.

List of mods are:

M Sport Package
Vorsteiner CF front lip
Vorsteiner CF rear diffuser
Vorsteiner CF rear spoiler
Vorsteiner stainless steel quad exhaust
20" BBS CH-R wrapped on Dunlop Run Flats (245/35/20 on all 4s - x-drive)
CF matte black front grill
CF side markers
Painted reflectors

The Vorsteiner F10 M package can be seen here:

Thanks guys. Any recommendation on springs? I want it a bit lowered but not too much since the front lip already reduces some clearance. No interior modifications at the moment. I was thinking of changing the the trim to CF.

+2 on the "nice house" comment. If you don't want an aggressive drop, go with AC Schnitzer springs.

Looks great!

Your rotor, passenger side front wheel pic, looks as though it has deep grooves from running the break pads down to the rivets. Are you grinding when you brake?

Or is it just the picture that makes it look this way? Curious.

Hey thanks Andy. Yeah there's definitely something wrong with that rotor as it's squeaking when I brake. I'm bringing it in at my local BMW dealership to get it checked out.

I really like the pics too. Let us know how the trip to the dealer goes. Mine are doing the same on the front. And it's typical the driver side that wears more than the other. I noticed this on my friends F10 also.

Have you thought about black vinyl wrap for the roof?

Nice. I had the vorsteiner kit on my 550 as well. I would get ACS or Dinan springs. They don't drop the car to much. I had ACS on my 550 and they were great.

Khanh, that's one nice ride Bud

The Carbon Fibre Interior Trim is one of the sportiest and more elegant mods you could do inside. It's a particularly great complement to the Dakota Black interior and Alpine White exterior which your eyeline picks up subconsciously when looking out the windscreen. Just do it. You will not regret it.

Gorgeous installments. H&R springs are affordable and should suffice. The CF interior is beautiful and augments your aesthetics noticeably. I have the same front lip spoiler -- fell in love with it the moment my eyes ambled through it.

Thanks guys. Really happy I purchased this car. I was so close to pulling the trigger on an E90 M3, but glad I stuck with the F10 (not saying anything is wrong with the M3, but the sedan looked too subtle for my taste). What do you guys think about blacking out the chrome trim around the windows? Worth it? Definitely going to be ordering springs soon here. Not too sure about the vinyl roof wrap yet.

Definitely wrap the chrome window trims with matt or gloss black. I did mine for AU$495 and never regretted it.

Updated pictures. Just lowered on H&R springs, chrome delete on the window trim with gloss black vinyl wrap, and carbon fiber wrap on the door handles.
