I love the color of the car! Not a fan of the wheels or the front grills. F10's look right at home with 20" wheels.

Love the colour of your F10 but the wheels are a bit nancy. I'd also like the mesh grilles if they were blackened to match the kidneys to give it a bit of attitude cos the 550 drives like a demon and the look should reflect this (imo).

Nice color. Think you should match the mesh with the grille in black, would be more cohesive and give your 550 the attitude it deserves.

Unique color for sure. Things I find clashing with your theme..

Black mesh
Mud flap delete
Huge grill badge delete

Minor fixes and it will look much much cleaner IMO

Agreed 100%.

If you look at my photo link in my signature you will see what the black grilles with black mesh looks like.

I would rip those mudflaps off with a violent ferocity, ugh.

I am a big fan of badges but I dont understand the badge on the front, that is a debadgers nightmare, lol.

Are the M Tech bumpers and skirts any different to the standard M Sport bumbers and skirts?

Thanks Remmib. Didn't look like they were . Another one for you ... are the M Sport Skirts any different to the skirts on my non-MSport 535i? Not trying to thread-jack but feel it's relevant to the mention of MTech in Fireman's build and other peeps may have the same question.

The wheels look small, but I live in New York also and don't think i could handle the potholes with 20" wheels

Great color especially w m-sport bumpers. Just a few things to adjust as others have mentioned and you got yourself a very unique F10.
