25 hr drive is dedication. I'm guessing delivery service doesn't come to your area?

I'm gonna go against the grain and say keep it stock. It's beautiful as it is. Too much modding makes the car look cheap, imo. Congrats on a very sweet looking F10.

Sorry...stock is boring! Im not sure where u get this idea that too much modding makes the car look cheap? Ive seen plenty of cars fully modded look extremely beautiful! Adding your own personal touch to your car is what separates your BMW from someone else's BMW. Adding components like carbon fiber lips, spoilers, Diffusers, ect is what makes our cars unique! Yes, putting the wrong stuff that don't flow or wrong color choices will throw the whole theme off. but if stock floats your boat than

Here's a couple of examples of modded but clean looking!

Well, I'm all about modding your car to a certain extent. Kits, exhaust, wheels, suspension...totally cool. Bouncing around in a way too low-dropped F10 with giant wheels and blacking out everything looks cheap to me and defeats the purpose of owning a luxury car. Around here you see X5's and Land Rovers dropped to the ground which is pretty dumb, imo.

Congrats on the new ride! I just got my 535d and I flew to NJ from VA - it was a 11hr trip back (NJ/NY traffic SUCKS) and like you said - worth it

PS - get the M Performance carbon bits (spoiler, front lip, and mirror caps) - totally transforms the car!
