Very nice f10, and some 20s will look great.
Bet you UK and Aussie guys are tired of the steering wheel on the wrong side joke.

Thanks for the kind words! 20"s will make it look completely different. I just can't decide on which style to go for!
Hahaha I'm sure I'll get used to it

So tonight I've ordered the twin slat M5 design gloss black grills and also some black euro plate surrounds as I quite like the look of them on the F10 and I notice most of you guys in the US have plate holders due to them being metal?

Tried to remove the interior trim yesterday and got the main dash trim off but didn't realise the start button and vents come with it! If I unplug my start button (which also has start/stop below) will those cause any errors to be logged?

Man, you and I are so on the same wavelength! Same colour car, same colour interior......

Anyway, I swapped the interior trims out for the M Performance Carbon Fibre trims (a Gumtree special, £500 all in!). Pic attached so you can get an idea of colour. Camera made the oyster look a little warmer than it is as you can see.

if I recall correctly, the switch can be unplugged with the ignition off with no issues.

Watch out with the centre console trim (around gear lever etc.) as it's a bit tricky to remove and reinstall. has to be pivoted in and out.

Nearly exactly the same car! and the steering wheel is on the correct side
Thanks for the pictures buddy, definitely want to get these interior trims sorted. I take it you unplugged the start button with no issues? are the vents easily removed as well?

£500 is a bargain for those, wood trims are going on ebay for around £350! Well done on that bargain!!

Yeah, just made sure ignition off I think....3 screws to unmount iirc.

Vents are a bit tricky and there is a wiring connection to the back you need. Go slow and be careful and it's pretty straightforward.

£500 is a amazing price considering BMW charge approx. £2,000!!!

Tell me about it! Guy changed his F11 for a 7 series and I picked it up for a song.

Wife went mental, but that was inevitable!

Which wife? Yours for buying it or his for selling it at that price!

The CF trim is nice though.

These pictures are making my jealous guys

So you're the guy keeping M Performance at work!

That's a hell of a lot of M Performance kit on your car!

Link to where you picked up your grills if you don't mind.

Looking for the black.

Nice car BTW. I can't imagine how powerful it is I drive a 520d .

These were the ones I purchased. Turned up today which was super fast, quality looks pretty spot on but I'll see how the fit over the bank holiday weekend in a few days and report back.

It's a pleasing surge of power, I love the turbo whistle with the window down, can definitely hear the change in the twin scroll turbo

those look sweet! post some pictures when you get those grills installed

[DanChapman90]

Will definitely post pictures once they're on!

I notice you American chaps get a nice orange strip in the LCI Xenons where our indicator/turn signal here is in the UK. Does anyone know if those strips are installed as standard on EU models and if they can be coded in?? Think they look great!

[DanChapman90]

Thought I'd update this with a photo I took a few weeks ago, love how it turned out.

Still debating on the wheels, has anyone got 281 20" alloys on theirs? There don't seem to be any photos out there on the 'net!

Was conerned the black wouldn't look right. Unfounded.

How easy was fitting?

Nice shot DanChapman90!
