Chopped f10, Mmmm,...

jftoha · 08-30-2012, 02:11 PM

I was just playing with a photo of my car on Photoshop and decided to see what happened if BMW would have lowered the roof of the car about 2", sort of a chopped F10. I am 6'-2" and have plenty of headroom in my car, so it would not be that much of problem, but given the fact that the Grand Coupe was around the corner BMW probably needed to differentiate the two. Still, I think the F10 could have looked much more aggressive. I really like the look. Dreaming is free i guess.

Below the windows everything is normal and as the car sits today, including the wheels. Above the windows, the "greenhouse" is about 2" lower than stock.

Yeah I realized that, the massive Alpina's just amplified the effect.
