My Wife's F10

S14PWR · 04-26-2014, 02:21 PM

Finally got some decent weather so I got the car detailed. Here are some pictures of my wife's new ride. We traded her 08 E70 4.8i Sport for this back in December and she absolutely loves it.

Here's the option list:
Cold Package
Driver Assistance Package
M Sport Package
Premium Package
Technology Package
Premium Sound
M Performance Exhaust
Performance Rear Diffuser
Performance Black Kidney Grilles
CF Performance Front Splitter
CF Performance Interior Trim
CF Performance Mirror Caps
CF Performance Rear Spoiler
CF Performance Selector Lever
M Performance Side Sill Decals
Stainless Steel Pedals

Since we bought it, I wrapped the roof in 3M CF and wrapped the door handle chrome strips and side marker covers in 3M Gloss Black. Also tinted the windows 35% all round.

Enjoy!

I love it: so many OEM goodies. I should get my wife one also...

Kevindamoe · 04-26-2014, 03:50 PM

Looks great!!!!!

remmib · 04-26-2014, 04:46 PM

Looks great, and that's a lot of expensive CF.

I guess wifey didn't ask for all those OEM CF parts.

paul223 · 04-26-2014, 08:37 PM

You sure do spoil your wife.

+1 - great choice on the OEM pieces.

Please don't be mad but I think you've way overdone it with the CF to be honest. Of course the car still looks amazing, don't get me wrong, but I think CF is best when used sparingly to accent certain things. In this case it just seems too showy, at least to my eye. Still a beautiful ride and I in no way mean to offend...

LACSTER · 04-28-2014, 09:38 AM

I wish my car was as cool as your wife's

jjgixxer · 04-28-2014, 11:45 AM

Looks very nice!! I am sure the wife is extremely happy!!

Zaman · 04-28-2014, 12:40 PM

Nice! So if that's your wife's, what do you drive??

Walkabout · 04-28-2014, 04:27 PM

Nice mods, still looks like a clean ride. Thought about going for some more sporty or aggressive wheels? Think that would complete the performance look a bit more.

ZeusE93 · 04-28-2014, 09:51 PM

Looks great, thanks for posting. Love the front splitter and m performance sides

great looking car! love the CF but i think that it would look much better if you didnt CF the shifter. it needs a bit of contrast

VMRWheels · 04-30-2014, 01:33 PM

I love that! Looks awesome.

6lacksheep · 05-01-2014, 12:23 AM

Awsome, reflector delete next

cipher5 · 05-01-2014, 10:29 AM

Your wife's car is sexier than mine.

bmwpassionate · 05-01-2014, 07:48 PM

I loved the CF interior trim.. from where can I buy those?

SocalBM · 05-02-2014, 07:18 PM

Damn, Could have gotten a 550 with the amount you spent on all that garnish.

BavariaExclusive · 05-07-2014, 06:32 PM

That is exactly what I have without the black roof and black side mirrors.

S14PWR · 05-19-2014, 09:38 PM

Thanks you all. Just got back in to town over the weekend... been on the road for the last 3 weeks.

No she didn't. In fact she has no clue what that stuff is. This is for me so when I drive her car I look cool

No worries man! Personally I don't think it's too much. On the outside I just have the front splitter, mirror caps and rear spoiler. Now if I had CF kidney's, CF rear diffuser, CF side marker covers, than it would be too much. On the inside I agree with bkM3, the stock aluminum shifter would have looked better but I just got carried away

That's next on my mods list. I am thinking about 20" Linea Corse LC818 in Satin Black but I'm afraid she will damage the wheels.

I agree... the stock aluminum finish shifter would have give a bit of contrast

These are OEM components. You can purchase them from your local BMW dealer.

Sure I could have gotten a 550 for that but there are a lot of M sports around here and this definitely sets it apart from the rest. Plus her last 2 cars were X5 V8's (E53 4.4i sport and E70 4.8i sport) and this time we wanted some economical. I am quite impressed with the 535, it is frugal in the ECO mode but in sport mode she is pretty quick. I am sure the V8 twin power is quick but a small tune can fix that in the 535. We recently took a 3000 mile trip and it returned an impressive 29 mpg's average and this included a spirited drive through the Tail of the Dragon
