My New F10 550i!
I've been hanging around these parts for a bit, and figured it was time to upload a few cell phone photos of the car.
So here it is! I flew down to LA, stayed overnight in Culver City and drove back to Reno. It was an amazing trip, and had a ton of fun. Way more photos to come as I get more for the car! In the hotel parking lot Getting the tire pressure set right for the long drive home A shot from Beverly Drive when we went to dinner at Il Fasaio's. There was an i8 and a Ferrari F12 parked across the street. Damn sexy cars. Quick dash shot Tucked away for the night at home, after 11 hours on the road I took some shots with my Canon which I do not have with me right now. I'll get more photos as the car changes!

Congrats! Looks like it fits right at home.
What are your plans for the front bumper/lip?

Thank you! I heard you used to own an E60. I love those V10s. I had to get an M6 just for the sound haha

Nice garage!! Have you made a decision about what you'll do with the front bumper? I really like that lip but it does suck that you can't just remove it to swap it out.

Put Niches on the car. First time I ever put aftermarket wheels on a car and I gotta say I'm not too mad! I like the look, but I might put some spacers up front so it doesn't look funky when I install my coilovers.

Ultimately I do want a carbon fiber lip, so I think my only option, without pulling it off, is to bust out my heat gun and attempt to wrap it.

there's carbon splitters you can add underneath that existing lip. 3d makes one or you can find some universal one's.

That first photo, is that going over the existing lip? Do you know where I can find that? Edit: I see it now. Nvm
I also like the one in the last photo... I might actually go for something like that.

i've been on here quite a bit and seen members come and go and when you posted your molded 3d spoiler these were commonly done from earlier members and i always thought it was a clean look. i knew posting these pictures would give you a better idea.

25% Tint all around, new AA exhaust is nice. Good rumble at the low end but you can barely hear it at all WOT. Might cut out the resonator and see what happens.

Really? That's interesting! I was getting 50 MPG sitting in the driveway. Can't tell you how nice that felt
