I've never seen that type of spoiler for an f10, closest might be the performance style.

I installed my h&r springs my self and I'll tell you it woulda been much easier to just replace the stock coil overs with kW coil overs than to compress and switch springs and reinstall, it's way more work. Who ever quoted you 1300-1800 is out of thier f'n mind! Shop around and get those kw's, they are an improvement over the stockers and you can pick your ride height and change it when ever you want. Just sayin

Here's mine to give you an idea of what it might look like,

I agree with you coil overs are way to go but correct me if am wrong each time you make adjustment don't you have to get alignment done?

How ever am thinking about doing Eibach spring I don't like slammed look.

Pretty much any time you make changes to your suspension it's ideal to get it realigned

I'm no expert on this subject but after I installed my h&R springs I took my car to the shop that a good mechanic friend of mine who is their best alignment guy. He put it on their laser guided rack and he said it was fine and he made no adjustments. I've been driving it like that since last may and it doesn't pull and I'm not getting any weird tire wear, so I'm sure he could get an alingment after he's happy with how its looks. I bet if I took my car to the dealer they would tell me its all wrong and I need an alignment, but since I know it's fine I'm not going to bother. I will say this BMW puts weights in the seats to simulate people in the car when they do their alignment, so if that's the case how's the alingment If you'r by yourself? So I think it's a matter of what makes you feel better about your own car.

Thank you for your input. I just bought this car to drive for a year or less. So I do not put so many miles on my other cars. Also I just wanted to personalize it with some nice wheels, a spoilers, etc. I have a (like new) competition exhaust I am thinking about installing, although I kinda like the utter quietness of the V8 turbo....I'm afraid of screwing up the ride, sound, etc....I do not think the wheel gap is that bad....I have let a fried drive it while I drove his car and I though it looked great. I dropped the car car off this morning for the entire bumper to be removed and painted along with the new front spoiler, and replaced the window, it had 3 small rock chips..on is spreading...
