I can't even recognize the car myself. Frankly, a bit (or very) MK look now. As mlai always says. But I am not a chrome guy, rather black than shinny. Now only the exhaust tips and BMW roundels have chrome.

Nice black series, perfect match on your color bro.

+1 Tinting on white line will look even better. Do in mlai..

Very black. May be a bit too black even for my obsession with black. Hehe. Glad that I don't have black rims.

Wow, that's looking so nice man, must tinting the white line especially on Sophisto Gray, mlai.

Yes, I can imagine it's kinda Black now. You should now play with some lighting to complete your mod. LED license plate lamp and 6000K foglight?

No poison here, just my 2 cents

License plate lamps are already LED from stock And already have 6000K fogs (color matched with aux/cornering lights)

Enough poison. Will do it..... Soon

Not a lighting guy. I rarely turn on the fogs. And I am very un-environmetal friendly, don't like LED much.

That's right, but I don't have hamann diffuser. Actually I like the M diffuser more.

Mlai, you want some expensive poison? Get ceramic brakes+rotors. 100k.
When i took off the brakes and rotors i could feel how heavy they are -very, at least 6kg each. So if you already have super light wheels, the brakes+rotors may be next, but it is super expensive (=why this idea is good for you)
for the weight saved, ceramic is about half the weight.
For me, they are very low on the list, due to the cost, but not many ppl have this mod... hehe

Another thing is we have the rear E-brake. Only can change to front for BBK. That's a show stopper.

Thought about them. But 2 things put them off my list.
1) Nothing out there is available for the F10 for ceramic brakes yet.
2) They are great for lighter vehicles. But the ceramic pads may not be powerful enough for heavy vehicles like the F10.......
