Hey all, I've been on Bimmer Post with my F30, but I just picked up a CPO 535i. Already doing my best to make it my own. This is my 4th BMW (E36, E60, F30, now F10) with many other cars in between there. I'm reading up on all I can and always appreciate any insight or meets (SoCal). Great to meet you all!

Nice! black on black! do you really use the roof bars for anything?

Ickdeep · 01-24-2017, 10:13 AM

Congratz and welcome!

thebmwjunkiee · 01-24-2017, 11:27 AM

Love the blacked out look, use to do that will all my cars. Congrats and welcome. Any plans to paint the roof rack black, or are you keeping it as is for contrast?

yes, I live in San Diego so surf board, paddle board, and bikes. Eventually, I'll put on the luggage carrier for road trips

I actually took it off after I took this picture and had the rest of the black out completed (tail lights LaminX now). It is very clean without it...however I'll put it back on when I need it for activities!

What is the model/make of your rack? I am starting the process of looking for one to carry a one-person kayak.

It's the BMW rack from the dealership. I think Thule makes it, but not 100%. If you search for factory f10 roof rack you should find it.

Love it!!! sweet ride!!!

Thanks, I have looked at the BMW rack, which was Thule, but I was wondering if I had another option.

What did you paint your rims with?

Powder-coated black. Runs about $150 per wheel from a reputable group and they covered up any pre-existing rash nicely.

Did that include removing tires as well?

Yes they should. I got a quote for $500 to get all them powder coat with them removing the tires and remounting them.

Yeah, I have heard as little as $400. Just amke sure they are powder-coating and not just painting (or plasti-dip).

$600 was including the tire removal. You can get pretty creative/crazy in the color options too. If you like the design of your wheels, you can essentially get a new set every year for $600!

Nice, I'm sure the car looks real clean now. I'm waiting a month or so to powder coat a set of 20s I bought black. Even when I buy a gray car I can't avoid the black out theme!
