Hi everyone,

Im new to this forum so I figured to say hi,

Recently picked up a f10 528i 2014
Have owned couple of e46s and also a E60 530i

Got the wheels replaced from the stock 17s to some 20inch wheels.

I have already ordered some stuff and i should be getting them soon in the mail

-Trunk lip
-bavsound stage 1 upgrade
-black front grill

Thinking about getting the interior trims wrapped in carbon fiber maybe!?!?

And i really like the M bumpers

Any other ideas??!?

Beautiful F10!

Congrats.

lsturbointeg · 03-20-2017, 08:18 AM

Congrats! i would say ShadowlineTrim but i guess the chrome flows with your wheels. get the painted reflector on the front bumper

I wouldn't waste the extra money on M-sport bumpers. They're a nice addition if they're factory, but buying and painting them after-the-fact is financially unwise. I think the LCI sport bumpers look sharp enough as they are. Pre-LCI is a different story. I'd stick with the few extras you've already chosen, and maybe consider some ACS lowering springs, then call it a day. F10 resale values have been skydiving lately, you don't want to dump more into it than you'll get out of it.

Looks good!

Nice color!!

i opted to pickup an MSport rear bumper only because i wanted the option to install a carbon fiber diffuser.

Good point, maybe if i get lucky and come across someone who is returning their lease and have those bumpers painted space grey already ????

I really like the way both of them look and also pretty much most of addons are for M bumpers

Thanks, originally i wanted a white one but then i saw this car and for whatever reason the color start growing in me and im so happy about my decision now

lsturbointeg · 03-20-2017, 01:24 PM

are you planning on lowering her? ACS would be your mild drop, H&R a bit more aggressive and KW's if you wanna pancake her!

Actually I was just reading about these. I never had any car lowered before so this would be the first. look like ACS are not too much but they are a little pricy compare to other brands, how much should I drop? I don't want to go crazy! may be 1 inch??

how much is the cost to get these installed on the car?

NV GUNS · 03-20-2017, 01:36 PM

welcome to the forums! talk to M5 Monster here and he can set you up with carbon fiber interior. he has a thread on it.

I am going to try my self first wrapping it if that didn't work out then would definitely look for HELP

acs springs on the 550i are 1"

they are pricey but imho the additional $$ is worth it, as they haven't detracted from ride quality at all and they have eliminated the body roll and dive/squat i used to get in my 550i when braking/accelerating

i paid about 950 installed for my ACS springs...

xxpanipuri · 03-20-2017, 02:30 PM

if you can order the black/gold throwback plate...it looks awesome with the grey!

of course i'm a bit biased..

It definitely sounds like every one with the ACS springs are so happy with their setup, maybe I should start saving up in order to go with something i don't regret sometimes down the line.

I meant he has OEM M performance carbon fiber interior trim, there was a recent thread about some one wrapping their trip and ended up buying new trim. just FYI

I think the guy who bought it from M5 Monster is the one who just recently posted his install pictures of the carbon fiber interior trim

For $1600 i think there are better things i can do to the car !!

I saw those and they are amazing but i would rather get the acs springs first
