Fresh wash, and some so so pics :) ...... #picwhore

xxpanipuri · 09-09-2016, 08:04 PM

Bought the car in Jan 2016 in Bend, OR. where it spent its first 2 years, with 12k miles.

2014 550i
Exec Package
Lighting Package
Cold Weather Package
MSport Package / Trim.

Space Grey with Mocha Brown Interior and Aluminum Hexagon Trim.
Shes got 18,5k miles on her now.

Found it at a chrysler jeep dodge dealer they had it on the lot for 4.5 months. I got it for 14k below the original price they had it listed for.

The Day I picked her up before starting my 600 mile journey home, 1st 300 was through the mountains, in January. I think thats the only time i averaged 29+ MPG as i kept it below 55 mph due to weather.

Now almost 8 months to the day here's how she looks!

20x9 F - 255/35/20
20x10.5 R - 295/35/20
Vorsteiner VFF 102 wrapped in Michelin PSS
M5 comp package exhaust
M5 Diffuser
Exhaust Meister
Painted Reflectors - Ind-Dist
ACS Springs
35% Ceramic Tint all around

I didn't have much time today, so i had to take pics in the middle of the day in the bright sun at 3pm

more to come after full detail gets done in a few weeks with ceramic coating.

I need to scope out a new place to take pics as well, and maybe choose a better time of day as well!

Enjoy!

Very nice! How did that drive in the snow when you bought it? I just picked up a '13 535. I'm used to driving something that sits up a bit higher.

There wasn't much snow on the ground, as it was in the 40's. More slush and this red clay crap oregon uses on the roads.

I did buy chains just in case i needed them.

By the time it got dark (and got colder) i was past the Cali Border, where the temp was alot higher (50's) and raining!)

I'm sure it would have been fine, as i believe the run flat's are considered all season.

Your car is coming along great! What's next?

Not much

want to get ceramic coating done and then just enjoy driving it!

i do want to do some audio upgrades but not a big priority now...

Ickdeep · 09-10-2016, 01:22 AM

Looking good. Keep it up!

Takumi587 · 09-10-2016, 02:51 AM

I really love that color on the f10. Beautiful car boss. If I could do it all again then I would get your color and a 550i as well!

However, I am now waiting to see the new G30. If its not that great then I may be looking for an M5 or 550 on the lot in your car color.

remmib · 09-10-2016, 03:27 AM

Looks great, and I really like those LED headlights.

.BMW. · 09-10-2016, 03:50 AM

Beautiful photos!

DDD31 · 09-10-2016, 08:36 AM

Car looks fantastic and I see what you did there with your license plate

And I hope whomever traded the car in at a Dodge/Chrysler dealership at least got a Hellcat
