Newish F10 owner

Hello everyone! Always wanted a F10, but in 2013 with a 2nd kid on the way I ended up selling my 330ci and leasing a X5. When the lease ended on my X5 last year, I convinced my wife I had to take home a carbon black '13 550i. Wohoo! Thankfully found this forum to motivate me to start modifying my newish daily driver.

Thanks everyone.
Yup definitely Filipino, chocolate pork is an acquired taste! I work at a biotech in south city so the plate has a double meaning (DNA Guan(ine)
Interior is just stock black only mods inside are 2 ginormous car seats.
So far I've had the windows tinted, put on an acs type rear spoiler, and installed a BMW performance rear diffuser. HR springs are still in the box, just gotta find a whole day that I can crawl under the car. Looking at purchasing a set of Vff103's in bronze burst or gloss black.

F'10 is a great everyday driver....Sexy to look at, fun to drive, solid and more upscale then the 3'er.

That's funny regarding the plates. Love me some chocolate pork and kare kare if I can find it. Same here, fellow biotech geek. If you decide on F14 SDC's, I have a set I'm selling.

Sjcee, Im in the market for a 535 myself and will also be putting in 2 carseats. (At least 1 rear-facing) Would you mind taking a picture of the backseat with the child seats in, and describing the models of the seats? thanks!

Britax Marathons (a 3 yr old and a 2 year old)
Used to have the middle seat rear facing, helps that the angle of the britax seat can be adjusted with a lever.
