After an excruxiating 4 months wait, my F10 is here


Late in the day and weather very poor so will have to wait for a clear day for more pictures. And i need to install my toys next week, too

Spec:
Deep Sea Blue/Dakota black/black
Hong Kong Standard spec plus:
IAS (no adaptive drive)
Parking Assist
Surround View

And after market 20" 356 wheels with P Zero the Hero 245/35R20 front, 285/30R20 rear.

Added some snapshots of the car in the garage 2010-09-26.






Will try and take more pictures when all my toys are added next week and waiting for a real sunny day

PS. I think the white F10 is Chiver's?

Congrats, nice car, and great wheels. Now, only if you had roads in HK where you could really open up the engine. Maybe drive back and forth to the airport a few times? To me that seems to be the only roadway where you can avoid major traffic!

[mlai]

Or drive to the peak or south side of hk island middle of the night

Congrats MLai ..

I was wondering the same thing, what's you car doing inside BMWhk with those rims on - I thought u got them outside..

I am a new member, i have followed alot of these posts for a few months, today is my first day posting

I got my 528 last month .. no complaints .. perfect, (except bmw*k maybe, haha)

Looks great!

Congrats mlai on your beauty! Post pics when you get all your toys on! Take advantage of the cops celebrating mid autumn dinner and test out that v8! That white car is someone elses . Did you see a sophisto w cinnamon ?

Congrats! May be we should start a color count?

Oh, I'm up for late night runs around the southern area of the island.

[kfiend]

Oh mlai, did you check the ride heights?
If yours is level, then I think I might need to bring mine in.

Cheers.

congrats, mlai. Deep Sea Blue looks fantastic. We need more photos showing your rims.

You have park assist which means you also have navigation, is this correct?

Welcome, grimlock. You are the only active HK member here who has the 528 other than me. Mind to share with us your car's specs and any modifications?

[grimlock]

kfiend

you making me nervous about my car again .. for me its brakes .. a little squeaky but may be in my head

[grimlock]

hi RC3

have you got yours yet?
I have mine for 1month ..
no options, color=not white/black/blue/grey (i will not post it but can show privately
oyster/black
19inch
lots of planned 'small' mods but taking my time ...very slowllly

[RC3]

long wait for me, due right before Christmas.

Yours must be silver/tasman/havanna then.

Mind is Sapphire black, oyster/black anthracite trim. HK standard with only moon roof option. Planning to swap the stock 17" wheels with after market ones, most likely 19"

Did you have your 528 ordered or the ones in stock? The dealer offered me stock ones but I chose to order since I want the dynamic driving control and blue tooth which the stock ones don't have. Need to wait for 5 months tough.

[grimlock]

ordered, not from stock
they may have better deals on the stock, but its so popular maybe not..
yes, u must get DDC .. or just get 523. for hk the 528 config is clearly for drivers.. i was very happy with the options
good luck with the wait ..

[juztinl]

what 19" do u have grimlock. and for the breaks. it's normal for bmw's brakes to squeak.
they are high performance brakes. and probably some dirt or rust got in between the pads. u can cure it by building up some speed and then brake hard for a several times.

[grimlock]

justinl

it wasnt like that when i first got it .. only after I braked really hard one time
i think your 535 has different brakes in the front from my 528..
i read that too .. i havent tried it, what if it makes it worse?
i will only give my car back to the dealer if i HAVE to

Welcome to the club!


Enjoy it......

No. Did not see a sophist there, but I could have just missed it

No. Park assist is not dependent on navi and I don't have navi.
