F10 550i M-Sport - QUICK MOD UPDATE !!

Hey fellas,

I posted a few pictures of the new F10 550i "stock as a rock" right when I got it delivered.

A couple weeks have gone by and I've done some slight mods. Still have more mods on the way for the F10 in the very near future

Here are some iPhone pics I snapped to share with you for the time being, while we wait.( which some of you have already seen)

Mods Version 1.0

- OEM WhiteLine Tail Lights
- Hamann Style M Sport Front Lip painted white
- Painted reflectors front and rear
- Performance grills
- HID 5000k H11 Fogs
- HID 5000k D1S low beams
- 5000k Matching cornering lights H7 bulbs
- 15% 3M Tint all around 50% windshield
- LED Interior, Trunk and license plate lights
- Gloss black side markers (will be painted white soon)
- DVDinMotion

Thank you for looking, stay tuned....

Definitely going for a tune. I am waiting for some updates from Vishnu but Dinan is on the possibility list for sure.

Looking forward to seeing your F10 once it gets back from Euro.

You can order them directly from Germany. I ordered on a Tuesday night , got them delivered Friday afternoon.

As you mentioned, the D1S bulb functions as a high/low HID xenon bulb, meaning your low beam is your high beam as well. The inner bulb (which would be the high beam on halogen setups) functions as cornering lights on an F10 with xenon headlamps. Whenever you reverese or do tight cornering the inner bulb lights up and gives you extra illumination towards the corner you are shifting/turning.

The bulbs for the cornering light are 55 watt H7 halogen bulbs and has ugly halogen yellow color if left stock. I switched it to an H7 halogen bulb but with a white/blue tint, 5000k color temp to be precise and it now matches the 5000k D1S low beam very nicely.
