Congrats enjoy it. Not sure about the F10 badge, but an AW msport is always a great choice.

As for AW, it looks nice (obviously popular), but my one complaint with white cars is the emphasis it creates on seams in the body. Since the seams appear black due to the gap, they tend to stand out and look larger to me on white cars, and I find my eye is constantly drawn to them versus the paint colored creases of the body. That said, I'm admittedly a pick OCD and picky!

Very nice car - I just moved from a 2013 M5 (8/2012 first month of production) into a 2014 550i MSport. I am very pleased with all the improvements that the LCI has brought, I had an '11 550i MSport before the '12 M5 and as you know there are many subtle changes that I believe add up to a better F10.
Question - You listed "Fender Chrome to Matte Black with Lights" as a customization you made to your new F10. I don't mind the signals on the mirrors, but I am disappointed that BMW didn't simply seal off the front fenders for the North American market - I do not like the fake decorative chrome bezel where the signal/side marker originally was. Does your light work like the original - as a signal along with the mirror? I like how it appears better. Was the wiring already there? What did it take to do and is this a BMW part that can be ordered and installed by my dealer? I appreciate your input - enjoy your new car.

Very nice.
I see you put indicators in the side fenders like the pre-lci, are they functional or just for show?

Don't care for the wheels or the F10 badge on the rear. Like the front grill. Enjoy your new car.

I found the fender indicators on Ebay as a package deal with the clear side reflectors. The are for show as no wires were present and didn't see the need for 2 going at the same time. I'm fairly mechanical so I changed them myself. Looking at the new ones you can figure out how to remove the old. Replacements snap in. I couldn't believe they put that piece of chrome plastic on the fenders. Glad its gone. Thanks remmib, your car was part of my inspiration.
