Cairo Kid · 01-22-2014, 11:21 PM

This is my F10. There are many like it, but this one is mine...

Frozen Dark Blue, m sport package, BMW CF front splitter and wing mirror covers, powder coated 19" wheels, AC Schnitzer quad tip exhaust, Vorsteiner CF diffuser.

Congrats, looks unique.

Snap! Nothin like it on the streets. Love that CF lip

Beancounter_74 · 01-23-2014, 06:18 AM

Is that a matte wrap, or a paint job?

Thank you very much. It's only the second one here in this color. I'm very pleased with the way the CF lip turned out.

At the moment, the car is 99.9% OEM. The color is the Individual Frozen Dark Blue coating. The only non-oem bits are the painted wheels and the 20% window tinting (which were actually done through my BMW dealer)

Wow

, it looks lovely

, just assumed it was a wrap as not seen paint like that before.

Thank you very much, appreciate the kind words. We're kind of proud of the garage as well

I am jealous.

datbimmerdoe · 01-23-2014, 12:50 PM

looks awesome! any plans 4 coilovers+wheels?

snj1013 · 01-23-2014, 01:57 PM

looks nice. I'd pull the wheels and put some touch up paint on the wheel weights.

TheBlackGT · 01-23-2014, 06:01 PM

Looks awesome! I love that color, must have been real $$$

Be careful washing it, I've heard BMW Frozen paints must be dealt with lots of care and caution.

Thinking about rims or lowering?

Thank you very much. I have ordered and paid for a set of 20" MORR MS 5.1 wheels on Michelin PSS. Hopefully they will arrive before I sell the car (i normally keep cars for at least 5 years, so i'm hopeful

).

No plans for coilovers though. This is my daily driver and the roads can be a bit rough.

Thank you very much. The paint selection wasn't cheap, I spent a lot of time with the dealer going over the options list to manage the overall the cost (with limited success), that's why there's no sunroof.

I'm running around trying to source natural fibre towels and wash cloths in order to comply with the washing requirements. My car dealer gave me the OEM frozen coating car wash as a gift.

Beancounter_74 · 01-24-2014, 04:46 AM

^^^^ There are a few manufactures out there who produce specialised care products for matte finishes, I've heard great reports about Swissvax stuff:

Nice color too, very unique!
