Wow, so much details, yet so clean. Best looking F10 i've ever seen.
Love the color and the wheels.

Alan, if you don't mind sharing, what was the issue with your 535 that BMW ended up buying it back from you? BTW, congrats on the new car. Even sicker than your first one....

I had the annoying increase battery discharge warning all the time so I asked the dealer to reprogram my car with the latest and greatest software. Suppose to be a simple process but it error ed out at the DSC module so they had to get me a new DSC part which was on back order from BMW for nearly 2 months. Nothing was really wrong with the car but I was pissed I didn't have my car for so long so the dealer worked with me and got me into a new car instead.

Interesting..... Definitely worked out in your favor if they gave you a fair buyback price. You were able to get an LCI and opt for all the things you might have missed when checking off the option boxes on your first F10. Most importantly, you checked the "550" box instead of the "535" box!

Thanks guys...
As for MPG.....you don't want to know. I like to feel the HP/TQ when i drive so I expected it. When i had a 650GC loaner for a weekend i took it on a 700mile drive and i managed to get 23mpg with a mostly highway and some local driving. This is with me taking it real easy on the throttle though....

Hey Alan,
Just wondering what paint/caliper kit you used for your calipers. I want to do mine too. Loving 2.0 SG so much!!! Mike

Caliper kits suck. You are better off getting a can of high temp spray paint and just mask off other areas with news paper. I've done it both ways and spraying looks better and quicker.
