So, there do not appear to be too many F11s featured in the UK forums. I'm therefore starting a new Thread, hoping to entice F11 owners to post pictures and/or videos. GO!!

My F11 is an unmodified 535i M-sport in Sophisto Grey and Cinnamon interior, 18" sport wheels for summer, 17" for winter use.

Here's the F11 doing the sort of job it was designed to do.



Ready for use.



Interior...

Love the Cinnamon interior.

Unbelievably, after spending 3 hours on my exterior (viz pics above), I put mine to good use - practically emptied the contents of my garage and took it to the tip.

Was very surprised at the capacity, especially with rear seats down. Could go camping in it!

Am on my second F11. Wonderful cars. Fold down the seat and throw a mountain bike in the back. Or 5 people to the airport with 4 suitcases and 5 hand luggage.

Very convenient and comfortable but wishing I'd looked at Msport now. Colleague at work has M325i E90. Love the sporty look to this (but much prefer my SE interior). I'd like to create a hybrid - Msport exterior (cosmetically) whilst retaining SE interior.

My first was SE with 17" and I was very happy with it for 3 years. Second is mSport with 19" wheels and tinted windows and it does look nicer (tho the wife can't see a difference) and handles a little better too.

Personally I don't think the differences are worth the substantial extra cost but I bought my second used so it wasn't too much for me

Hmm. The interior of the M-Sport is what swayed me to go for the M-Sport package, the sports seats are a great addition and the M Sport wheel is made of such nice and soft feeling leather.

I'm in the camp that likes metal trim in my car too, and the fact that it's real metal gets me excited having come from Japanese cars with plastic fake metal and wood trim

You too accordRE!?

I must admit, I do really like my interior and the exterior but it could be more sporty. Then I'd LOVE it.

Your car looks lush cmdllbF11!! Xirallic Imperial Blue?

I reckon a change of wheels and possibly painting the silver bit next to the foglight black should keep you happy for a while!

If that just won't do, this: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BMW-5-SERI...item27e2c5e2db

and a splash of paint should do you right!

Thanks @accordRE. Yes, that's the colour. Like the mod tips, too. I think I'm going to look at rims first then the body works. Cheers guys.

Black Dakota leather and Fine grain wood. It actually looks better than it sounds..was dubious when I ordered it but am pleasantly surprised how luxurious it looks.
