Hey stevenw211, a quick question from my dad...lol
He read in the brochure that the sports auto thing means that it includes the paddles on the wheel - do these have to be used or can you just drive the car as a normal auto?

The iphone snap-in adaptor can be snapped in the center console glove box perfectly .

It's a genuine BMW accessory which was bought from the BMW dealer at HKD 1560.

The 8-speed sports transmission comes with the shift paddles....

Usually, I don't play with those shift paddles when driving on the jamming roads in HK.

it's VERY expensive for a set of 18s. You might as well save up for after market ones.

I like the ac schnitzer type IV wheels for F10, but according to their website, the dealer is also the BMW dealer

The same price as your quotation.

Don't let the standard 17" rims ruin the pretty outlook of your F10....

The protection case needs to be taken out from your iphone before snapping in this equipment .

The new RFT is damn comfortable on an F10 nowadays.
I like the RFT on my F10 a lot!! No more hard road feel with RFT as before .
