Do you guys feel like your F10 is responsible for more vehicular bugslaughter than most other cars? I've been getting my car washed once a week and a couple of days later I see its front bumper littered with bugs that were at the wrong place at the wrong time. I'm attributing this partly to the very flat design of the F10 front bumper and perhaps it's bug season with winter around the corner?

Figured this was an appropriate subject for halloween.

It'll be more to do with the speed your driving than anything else. When you drive slower, the lighter bugs kinda "bounce" a bit more. Drive faster, SPLAT...

i noticed this as well. i think it might have to do with the upright grill and front end.

Speed for sure, I get this when I use the highway at weekends big difference in comparison to my every day use in the city and country lanes with no more than 70 mph.

I guess that explains the carnage on my bumper all the time!

I just went from a 335 to a F10. I do a lot of freeway driving at high speeds of 80+ mph. Just in two weeks i have noticed a lot more bug carnage that my 335 which will also mean more rock chips too.

I have decided to put on a clear protective bra on the front bumper to prevent bug and sand blasting look from small rocks.

If I dont wash the car within a week, it looks like a warzone in the front lol.

The xenon headlights plus a big frond end makes a perfect combo

You know! I didn't account for the weekly car wash in my budget when I decided to buy this car.

Cruising behind (safely) a large vehicle (4x4, van or lorry) usually leaves clean air for your car to pass through, but if pressing on for progress then you'll pick up tons of flies. As mentioned before, speed also makes a difference.

Large vehicles typically have large tires with large tread blocks and gaps which kick up small stones and rocks. The bugs mark your paint...the stones damage it.

bugs don't hang out on city road, highway for sure, because of surroundings like farms, open grass land. Speed makes difference, but M Sport has more surface area than regular fasica.

I've noticed the same thing with speed. BMWs are great bug collectors. My Z4 is much better though. What do you think...
