Beautiful! And those body-colored reflector inserts are GREAT!

Man, I LOVE those wheels!!! I wouldn’t want to clean them on a daily driver (!!!) but they fit the F10 beautifully, both in style and fit. Your car looks great!

EDIT: which mud guards are you using? Got any closer pics of them?

Those look a LOT like the G30 664M wheels.

Thank you so much! Yeah, totally agree, the design suits the F10/11 very well - but should have been delivered in 20" version as well! But the 19" do provide a very good mix of dynamic properties and ride comfort in daily driving when paired with the original F10 tire dimensions.
Regarding the mud guards; OEM BMW mud flaps for F10/F11 in front (not for M sport, but they do fit), and OEM BMW F11 non M sport in the back a they also do fit the M sport version. Problem is that the Touring mud flaps is not made anymore, only eBay/aftermarket, which I did have installed until I found these OEM ones, unused, in Greece. Better fit and quality. With these aggressive wheel dimensions, mud flaps saves the channels and rear bumper from a lot of wear and tear, and it sort of completes the “OEM+ family hauler” look I was aiming for.

Maybe a bit when seen straight from the side, but 664M’s are not concave at all. The 345M’s have an extreme concave design, love the curvature on them.

Just say that in your new pics. I would definitely rock those on my G30, but alas, the bolt pattern is different.

I’m debating putting the car for sale… too much work has gone into it but now it feels like I need to consolidate..

Looks great!
Installing Genuine BMW Mud Flaps was one of the wisest and best return on investment mods I did on my F10. They eliminated the (4) rooster tail spray marks I used to get whenever driving on wet roads.

Not sure why they say "does not fit M-Sport". Every post I've read they've fit perfectly. Maybe it's a ground clearance thing for the rear? You do have to be cautious not to curb the rears.

Not sure I'm making the exact same comparison with yours, but, FWIW, the Genuine BMW mud flaps are still available.
