And, of course, the BEFORE pic...

MELLOWYELLOW06 · 03-13-2014, 11:26 AM

Im digging the rims.

Looks great.

Dan1416 · 03-13-2014, 11:28 AM

Looks great! Nice to see a different color f10 modded. Gonna look sick with the mtech kit!

If I could have done 21" rims in the NYC area, the 311's would have been my first choice. I have been drooling over your car since you posted pics yesterday on FB! Love that you have a unique color and wheels that very few others have matched up with an F10. Major props to you for having a vision and executing it to perfection. Looking forward to your future mods.

RickyB · 03-13-2014, 12:02 PM

Those wheels.

Alan l. · 03-13-2014, 12:37 PM

Looks awesome. Clean and classy.

remmib · 03-13-2014, 12:41 PM

Looks so nice with the wheels and drop.

LACSTER · 03-13-2014, 12:56 PM

Looking good sir! H&R Springs sit perfectly on a 550i.

Actually had a dream about the body kit last night, woke up and it was not yet installed. FAIL!

Much obliged! Having relocated from NYC (born and bred) in late 2012, I feel your pain. Even 20s are a stretch, so to speak, in the Tri-State. Thankfully, North Carolina roads are in great shape, mostly due to mild winters, I suppose. I definitely have a plan and a vision for this baby, but with my wife scheduled to deliver our second child tomorrow, some OTHER baby needs to come first.

That was the intent, thanks so much!

I am also very happy with the increase in handling prowess with the springs. When I first picked the car up, I was definitely concerned about how mushy and heavier it felt compared to my e60 550i. Between the wheels, spings and sport mode for chassis, it's a totally different animal. And thanks!

Dip the wheels black.

I'm kind of over the black wheels thing, though I'm sure it would look great, too. I like the OEM look after having HREs on my e60, but will probably upgrade at some point when our fearless leader, LACSTER, pitches a once-in-a-lifetime-wheels-opportunity again.

I agree, not a fan of black wheels really. I think those wheels you chose really suite the f10 well. And it's only a matter of time before Lacster has another sick set of wheels for sale lol.

PhilT3 · 03-13-2014, 07:36 PM

Hey bro...to each his own. Either way, your ride looks great!

No way!

Not a fan of black wheels. Black rims don't fit the F10 style.

BTW: Car looks absolutely great in this color and on 21"!

What's the brand of the wheels?

mattk0504 · 03-16-2014, 03:24 AM

This is the BMW OEM 311

This was my F10

Bespoke 2014 · 03-21-2014, 08:50 PM

Good luck with the mods. Can't way to see the progress continue. Nice wheels

EZDozzit · 03-22-2014, 02:31 AM

Looks great so far. Wheels look perfect. Nice job.

VMRWheels · 03-28-2014, 01:34 PM
