THANKS! I was trolling the forums a bit before purchase to scope the rides, your car helped motivate me to stick to Alpine, your ride is SICK!!!
I almost bought a silver (close second choice) but walked for the white one.

Quicksilv3r · 06-03-2016, 09:56 AM

These cars look great in white. To nit-pick, the only thing that kept me from buying a white one is that the lighter colors make that straight panel gap more noticeable at the front bumper/hood. That's the one design feature that annoys me on the F10s. Beautiful car though. IMO the M-sports look great in stock form. I've only added an M5 trunk lip, 50% tints, gloss black kidneys and 12.5" rear spacers and I feel like the car is complete

Can't go mod-heavy on mine anyway since it's still under factory warranty and is a CPO car. Still need to take some photos of it...

Thanks! and yes! IMO the hood/bumper gap was a terrible idea, probably the only thing that bothers me on the car but I get distracted by the other beauties of the car so I'm ok with it lol. One would think they could have moved the transition to the kidneys some how but I am HOPING there was a good reason they did it the way they did and not just $$.

Yea I'm not going to change a lot, that's why I wanted msport. M5 wing is on, got the kidney's on and front reflector is in the mail. Mine is Factory war then CPO aswell but I "have" to lower it still (ACS springs). Then I'm leaning toward powder coating the stock wheels to a gunmetal color (since I have brand new tires not to mention wheels and tires are not in the budget right now) and get spacers of coarse. BTW the dealer said springs will only affect the spring/strut warranty.

Only effect the spring/strut warranty eh? Might have to add springs to my mod short list
