Hello all!

Just a quick introduction.

Been browsing the site on and off since 2008, started when I bought my Z4. I didn't start visiting the site properly till 2013 when I got my f10. Still only as a guest I would visit but recently have been wanting to register and I did so today.

Looking forward to contributing on here the best I can and really enjoying the community feel.

Many thanks

Hi f10arnold

Thanks for asking

These are the pictures I took the week I got it. I took them with no plates on as I've always liked the true look of the car.

Hi Gordon

Thanks for your reply!

I find that ride quality is very smooth with the run flats and the suspension deletion esp useful when the kids are sleeping in the back during motorway journeys, however friends tell me the m sport suspension would be a better drive - I have not experienced this car with the sport suspension. Did you order yours with the deletion from new? Also what is your finding with this setup.

Thanks

Hi f10arnold

I have always wanted to do some mods. Small
To start with and then build up, but honestly don't know where or what to start with. Clean and oem look as close as possible is tasteful but adventurous is living.

I do know that is an addictive game and once starting it's difficult to stop.

Hi SP,

Yes i ordered my 530 with the Msport suspension removed as the car I tested was to firm a ride for me. However, your friends are correct the cars handling suffers as a result. My days of tearing around country roads are behind me but i decided to go for VDC on the 535. This was really to improve the ride quality and also help when I am towing.

Hi Gordon

Thank you for your reply

Yes I think VDC is the way forward now and many manufacturers are going this way. The ride quality is best with VDC especially on our roads.

Like yourself i have put those days behind me hence very much appreciate the suspension deletion.

Loving your new motor by the way. Excellent choice!

Hi John

Have a fab time

I've been to Sharm before and it was a really nice holiday. The seafood was amazing and still haven't had seafood to that taste anywhere else.

Have a great time!
