Heck it is going to scratch anyway and when it is completely gone, maybe I will get something else........

PS. My baby is at 1275KM now! Going to be able to really floor it soon

Partly was also because some idiot rear-ended my Vellfire and was in the shop for a week. So, the F10 stepped up to be my daughters' ride for that week.

Again, if you have no time to spend with your F10, I am happy to help your F10 grow up fast

I need to slow down on the growth of my F10, so much so that I am considering a 3rd car

i will go first.. but my susp mods requires alot of MODS .. no fsd fit f10!
i am trying to figure out how to re-engineer the fsd dampers for other models to fit.. but requires some complicated welding .. and its structural so RISK
i am pulling out my hair on this right now

I don't want the car to grow really old (20Km+) in a year

A1 is essentially a very expensive VW Polo. Went to the launch party on Friday night......

Minis are fun car. Test drove the MC S cab. Loved the go kart feel. Hated the noise

So considering a 1-series convert or an used 335i convert.....

I am afraid my car will get old in looks before its 'internals' are old..

Actually I think the polo looks better .. they should have done a better job with the A1

Mini needs the FSD shocks hohoho .. thinking the f10+FSD will feel like RR Phantom -like ride, like air

get the 1 convert .. more unique
