I think if you go on the mod route, M front is inevitable. All the So. Cal. bros with SE bumper and front lip eventually swap to M front. 2 months is very long that's why start early.

The 2 month wait is quite annoying

and this assumes they are on time. If i remember correctly, RC3, your timing was even worse?

Yes, maybe M front is really the way to go and I love it too. So now need to search whether else where have the M front which can be faster with better fitment. If no luck, I will go knock WK the door...

Btw, no need M rear for me now, I wrapped the matte black in the rear bumper, look alike add on diffuser now. Pefect for SG and I'm satisify with it.

The rear and sides are really unnecessary. Not much difference from the SE.

Mind to share some photos for your diffuser?

I like how it looks right now, unless I change to quad in the future.

AsiaKid · 08-21-2011, 02:52 AM

think i saw jxnco today. morrs, quad tips

very nice

RC3 · 08-21-2011, 03:55 AM

Ok. I think I saw wcf in IFC too. Space gray with gloss black breyton rims. Not sure.

Btw, I scratched my rear right rim again today at wanchai shui on centre parking lot. Insanely narrow exit and turning radius. I cleared my rear fender and thought ok. But my wheel with aggressive offset did not. Feel mad now. My 5th scratch already.

RC3 · 08-21-2011, 05:24 AM

I'm really struggling with this F10 on narrow driveway during turning. Not sure if my driving sucks or what. Some situation I really have to back up turn, forward turn and again and again. I really hate driving into unfamiliar car parks now with this car. Never felt like this with my previous 3er. Really loosing confidence on my driving.

Do you guys with the F10 (no IAS of course) struggle in narrow driveway turning too? Or is it just me?

I think I saw you too. Saw a space grey F10 with whitelines when I was turning in to park in CWB. Whitelines really look good on a dark colored car

Yeah I do struggle sometimes but you get used to it. The F10 is really wide. Or maybe your 10.5" in the rear is just too wide.

AsiaKid · 08-21-2011, 05:35 AM

Sophisto Grey

Actually, pretty sure it was you. You were right outside wellcome at CWB

Then I thought was 535i cuz saw the quad pipe, but was still OEM bumper. Actually, after seeing yours, i think i will get it changed by Z.

I think you mean sophisto gray which AsiaKid has.

Yeah, may be the 10.5 rear bell out too much.

Is embarrassing if someone is behind you, back and forth. People think I am a newbie driver. Do I need to put on the "P" batch?

535 only has single tip dual exit asiakid.

Of course you need the quad tips. You got poisoned already.

grimlock · 08-21-2011, 11:34 AM

Did Jxnco's quads look real?

very curious about it now ..

AsiaKid · 08-21-2011, 07:46 PM

haha it looked very good. Honestly. I thought it was a 535i and i kept thinking to myself whose car is this and what are the specs. You can't tell its fake. At least not when i was right behind his car.

grimlock · 08-22-2011, 01:52 PM

I saw this, don't think its Jxnco..

from the side and at a distance it looks really balanced..

AsiaKid · 08-23-2011, 04:57 AM

jxnco, you have inspired me to contact Z. Z is gonna call me back with a quote and timeframe. Just looks too good.

Hopefully my bumper is somewhere on the way now. About another month left. I wonder if i should do an early order of the 3d Design add on or the ACS splitter.

AsiaKid · 08-23-2011, 05:11 AM

btw, grim, the thread you forward, the guy say ~200US.Z say around $4XXX for supersprint tips.

Do you really like the ACS splitters?

Really not considering the black chrome tips that I suggested? Look so gorgeous.

I would do so if I haven't done my quad.

RC bro, not worry

You just keep rev over 7,000 rmp and your quad tips will become black gradually.

My outer ring of tips already have changing black almost all-round

Go go go
