New F10 Project

I was finally able to get my new DGM/Sophisto Grey F10 to a point where I could post pictures of it, so I snapped some pics before the Super Bowl. I'm coming from e90post where I had an AW 335i. I ended up selling that in 2014 to save for my wedding. So after some saving the wife gave me the green light to start searching again so this past December I started looking for another BMW project. I found this car locally and got it on Dec. 26 for a decent deal and had a lot of the options I was looking for.

Here's my old E90 from a Sonic Tuning photoshoot to promote the Renn wheels.





Then I found this while searching. I originally wanted a black one but the dark gray grew on me.


After about a month and lots of online shopping, here is where I'm at. Still have a few things to do (50% tint, gloss black calipers, JB4, BMS intake, VRSF downpipe, resonator delete, etc).

Wow! Beautiful F10!
Love the DGM, then again, I'm biased.
Please tell me more about the wheels (is it Verde Axis?) and I'd also like to know
if you painted or wrapped the side marker surrounds and the door handle inserts.
Are you on springs?

Wheels ARE Axis Verde (20x9 +35 245/35 and 20x10.5 +42 285/30) with 12mm spacers up front and 10mm spacers in the rear.
Side marker surrounds and door handle inserts are wrapped in gloss black vinyl.
I'm on Megan coils.

Thanks guys!

Only interior mods are led's and picked up this re-wrapped base steering wheel from a fellow member here. I HATED how thin the base wheel was and missed my M Sport wheel from my E90. I also added a Graco car seat for my newborn

Next on the list are M pedals.

It's the Graco seat's cargo that is the best thing that'll ride in your F10! Congrats on the arrival!

Why didnt you buy the LCI M-Sport steering wheel? Looks and feels much better than the base one

Car looks great and nice transformation nonetheless!

Price for that and the airbag just didn't make sense to me. Maybe later on down the road I'll look for another wheel but have other mods that I want to do before then. The wheel I got was a great deal and its the thickness I want with Napa leather.

I installed a similar wheel; minus the larger lower silver trim. It came with a single-stage airbag, which I had to make work with my dual-stage...
