So far I've only needed to vacuum it, but I guess it's harder to keep clean than leather if you got childs spilling food or drinks.

Swissvax got some Alcantara Cleaner, but I haven't tried it.

Great taste in mods and options. The silver trim goes amazingly well with the seats and the alcantara!

Yes, it's a nice contrast, and the trim is brushed alu, I prefer that over the hexagon alu trim.

Beautiful interior! Is the alcantara headliner an individual or a normal option?

Well, it's parts of the individual options, but at the same time it's on the normal option list here, so no extra effort to order it.

I saw it on the price list now and it's really expensive considering that it's just a headliner! So it's basically individual!

Remmib, I just noticed that you have HRE 20x9 and 20x11's. I'm trying to get the HRE guys to sell me a set of P101's with 11" rears and they reckon the widest I can go is 10.5". Do you have any rubbing in the rear with the 11"?

There's lots of room in the rear of the F10, but they told my the same thing, but I was set on 11" in the rear, and I'm glad I did.
I've still got about a fingers clearance between the strut and the inside of the wheel.
No rubbing, but I guess it's very close.

What tire where you planning on?

I was actually focused on getting 21" rims (as opposed to 20") with 11" rears to get a deeper concavity but that's when HRE advised Medium Offset only for non-M cars. Bummer!

I also became concerned about ride comfort with the 21". I think I can still get the same low profile look with 20's while maintaining the correct rolling diameter with the right tyre fitment though.

In terms of the actual rubber size, HRE are recommending 255/35/R20 for the front and 295/30/R20 for the rear. I want a slightly stretched look without it looking like they are pulling away from the outer ring of the rim but I'm not sure their recommendations are going to give me this. Happy to hear your thoughts on this as I'm probably fitting Pirelli's or Conti's.

Your 'one finger' clearance is tight. Have you loaded up and gone for a bumpy ride to see what your limits are?

The one finger clearance is on the inside at the rear, and that's no problem, I've got less clearance on the outside though. I've thied 3 people in the car on bumpy road and that was fine, I've haven't tried fully loaded car on bumpy road.

Yes, I did do some measuring to make sure 11" would clear the inside.
I recommend you decide what fitment you want and order the wheel with specific offsets.

Just realised that I haven't posted these nighttime interior shots in this thread before, so enjoy.

Sensational photos Remmib. BMW should engage you to do the images for their Brochures (seriously). Did you use an F/1.4 lens to get the sharpness in the foreground?
