After a lot of looking...
I've lurked for a long time on the F10 forum - read a lot, posted a little, I've had quite a few cars over the past few years (31 cars in 8 years), one being an LCI E90 which honestly was not comfortable nor that luxurious to be honest. Another relevant one being my e34 BMW I loved; I spent months looking for the right F10, after test driving many I was just too picky and it sort of trailed off when I found a G37 sedan, my fiance has the G37X and having a G35 in the past I picked it up. Long story short I got air ride and wheels and some other goodies on it - then someone didn't stop at a stop sign and the car was totaled. (I have pictures of the wreck but can't find the link for some reason) Which put me be back in the market for an F10 - I found a 535i with 40k miles or so and almost pulled the trigger but decided to drive around as I couldn't find any others online, even longer story short I found this F10 with 19k miles, one owner, asking 38k and I got it for 32k (I know the question will be asked so why not just tell it up front! haha) M Sport, comfort access, nav, sport transmission, digital cluster (not sure the name/option - the whole bottom of the gauge cluster is LCD), side view camera, lane departure, lane assist, heated front/rear seats, heated steering wheel, black tip exhaust, combox, PDC, XDrive (personally didn't want that but the rest was worth it to me), M Sport trunk spoiler, other random little stuff I'm missing. Went on a little "spirited" drive yesterday, few hundred miles - got the M5 grills in, Vorsteiner style diffuser is here but not on yet until I figured out which exhaust...most likely Armytrix, want something valvetronic since the car is my daily and closed while on the freeway at times sounds ideal but maybe I wouldn't care. Took the fiance and the dog along, I am usually heavily against animals in my cars as well as putting miles on cars that aren't needed - but I'm trying to use my cars as cars this round I guess. If anyone knows the Washington area this is Skagit, Concrete (couldn't tell from the sign huh?), Newhalem, and Diablo Dam. Anyway, sorry for the novel, happy to be in a 5 series again, looking forward to talking with you guys while actually having an F10 and modding more and more.

Whoops on the delay; thank you guys for the welcome! I'm excited to be in an F10 optioned mostly how I wanted it to be, and to start modding. I did have pictures of the fiance from the trip but figured people love the dog too :P
550Reasons - that G is nice man! Mine could have gone that low but I never adjusted the strut to be lower haha - I am considering using the management on this car...but just not sure. Think I'm going to go the coilover route - freaking EDC delete adding the extra sucks. I'm 99% sure it has EDC at least, need to physically look - I am just assuming due to my car having Sport mode and it showing the suspension as a "change" feature in that, so if anyone knows off of that that would be appreciated! More goodies to come |

Great looking cars, great photos too.
Great deal on low mileage F10, congratulations. Now on those two "bagged" cars, you guys will have to educate me some other time. I want to keep an open mind, but I just don't get that whole thing. No disrespect but they just look gross/broken to me. Before you give me hard time for that comment, keep in mind that I did not grow up with "Fast and Furious". Other than that, both of those look great too |

Ha ha, good one
Had to check, and seems first "Fast and Furious" was released in 2001, so I guess I'm not as old as you and I think. I just never took an interest in that particular movie franchise, as great as it may be. Thanks for trying to educate me, extreme low/bags/camber just not my cup of tea I guess. |

Thanks again guys! More parts ordered haha, need to get some wheels asap.
As for the cambered/lowered thing - it is a personal preference 110% haha, the SUPER camber stuff I don't think looks that great but respect it for the fact that someone made something look that broken and driveable, mine had about 3.5/4 degrees of camber so I could tuck the wheel under the fender, while driving I had everything 0 degrees to make tread wear not so bad. |

Ghetto fit the new lip. Going to sand/prep/paint it soon, doing the same with the carbon diffuser since it has some imperfections I'd rather just sand and paint over. Diffuser forces me to get exhaust, ah shucks ?
