I nearly didn't spec it FRG, as I was going to go with the Black Panel display, but I changed my order at the last minute.
It is good, but it's purely aesthetic, so doesn't really add to the F10 experience that much. Enjoy your F10.

Wow, your car looks stunning, love the carbon black!

If you don't mind my asking, what other options did you go for?

Thank you, when clean, it does look lovely. I always loved carbon black when it was launch on the E46 M3's and as you can only get it on an MSport, I didn't even have to think, I knew it was the colour I wanted.

Not at all

Full Spec is: 520D M Sport in Carbon Black with Black leather with:
M sport rear boot spoiler
Multi-function Display (had ordered Black panel display, but changed my mind before build)
Electric folding mirrors
Full electric seats w/memory
Electric boot
Electric Tow Bar (I need it for my bike rack)
Heated steering wheel
12 V sockets
and not forgetting the very reasonable 5 years servicing

Very pleased with it now I've jut passed 3,000 miles

It looks very aggressive in Carbon Black.
Nice looking car.
I've always wondered when driving a BMW, if people look at you with the green eyes of envy......I find out on 1st March.

Cheers.

After half an hour behind the wheel of a white 330d I can assure you this is the case!
Unfortunately in London it means that people aren't willing to let you into spaces in a traffic jam

Mine causes panic in the overtaking lane on the motorway as I approach from behind in a white shirt and xenons on, happy days, hate outside lane hoggers!

It was actually a grey 5er with the number plate W1PPS all squished together.

I hope not, if so it was probably stolen! W1PPS is a 2005 Ford Transit in blue! Lol

Do you have the obligatory fluorescent jacket on the parcel shelf too - seems to be a favourite of Volvo drivers that one.

I always wanted one of those. It would compliment my ever-present scowl really well. Lol

I cannot bring myself to do that! However, I have no issue with a couple of flashs of the lights

I know what you mean
If you want to go the whole hog though, get a black peaked hat strategically placed on the dashboard top and a 'Black Rat' sticker in the corner of the screen

Beancounter, would it be cheeky of me to ask for some interior pics of your car if you have some spare time?

I'm unsure of how the bus nav screen looks on the LCI

Sorry, not great pics, didn't get home until late.



Personally, the size doesn't worry me and it has all the functions I need.
