Nice to meet you all :)

After I witnessed the most beautiful BMW's on this forum, I think it's time to introduce my F10 to you guys. Here are some photo's of my F10.

The mods so far:

- Eibach Pro Kit
- Stage 1 ATM Chiptuning
- OEM 345M wheels with the OEM tires
- OEM M5 Grille
- OEM M5 rear spoiler
- Custom Alcantara wrapped interior trim. (OEM Alcantara)

The M5 wheels look great, and that interior has got to be among the best in this forum. Nicely done

WOW!!!

Interior looks awesome, great job with all that Alcantara!!! I'd love to do that to replace all my dark wood which scratches if you fart hard. Since my car is a lease though I won't be putting that kind of money and effort into replacing the wood.

Did your car come with the digital gauges (Option 6WB)?

Thanks DDD31!

It matches absolutely perfect with the Alcantara on the seats and the armrest, since it is the OEM Alcantara.

Yes, the car came with the digital gauges.

Quite the unique looking f10 you've got there.
Often 19" wheels looks a bit small on the f10, but those 345M wheels looks great, much better than the 351M wheels. So you're running 265/40/19 + 295/35/19 tires without rubbing?

Thanks remmib,

Yes, I think the 345M are best looking 19" rims IMO. And the offset makes the car absolutely aggressive, wich I like a lot.

unfortunately, there is some slight rubbing in the rear when the back seat is loaded with two to three people. But the rubbing only happens on very big dips on the highway and sometimes on those extremely stupid high speedbumps. But if I take the speedbumps really slow, then there is no any rubbing.

In the future I will be running on smaller tires. 235/45/19 front, 265/40/19 in the back. With this setup, there is almost no difference between front and rear in diameters.

265's are pretty wide for front tires...i was wondering why the tires looked so meaty!

Looks great . I've been eyeing set of those rims for a while, but so far always managed to find a reason to spend that money elsewhere.

Interior though, I personally prefer leather for looks and ease of maintenance and how I feel will age over longer period of time. To me Alcantara looks like something that's never quite perfect and needs to be constantly "groomed" too look it's best. "Different strokes" I guess.

Yes, but Alcantara is more durable and it doesn't need that much of maintenance you think it needed. I like the sporty look and feel of Alcantara. I think it looks great. It's just a personal thing I guess.

Thanks everyone for the compliments!
