With the F10, I think you have to try harder to hit. Even with the Msport package, there is better clearance. But . . . you will hit.

If your driving low in jersey, you need to learn how to angle in and out of driveways and ramps etc.

No.
You can buy it by the roll - it's actually quite cheap... But doesn't help after the fact. And the M-Sport has a pretty odd front lip. Also BMW's have the plastic rub things which my GT-R didn't have. Doesn't save you on big curbs, though. |

Scraped my front lips so MANY times already here in LA. I used to freak out for the first few scrapes. Afterwards, I'm used to it already. It's just inevitable when you have a low car + steep driveways. I even scrape the bottom (middle part) of my car when going in to a garage. I have to angle in-out of my apartment's garage lol

I've scraped the underside of the front lip several times in the few months I've had my F10. Unfortunately, it's inevitable. It bothered me a lot at first, but I've grown used to it. Just be super careful with steep driveways and parking bumpers.

Doesn't that creshhhhhh sound a designed sign that you parked you car correctly and the rear of the car has not stuck out in a parking lot????

There is a certain way you need to drive lowered cars my friend. It takes years of practice and you still get nailed from time to time from odd shaped driveways/ramps.
You think its bad now wait till you drive a car with a front lip. Alan
