Welcome! From your 135i, I see you are going to mod your 528i the heck out of it!

Can't wait to see the mods!

Thanks for the welcome Mlai! I love your car, especially the rims, they're probably the nicest looking on the market for the F10 at the moment.

You're correct, I love modding and the only reason I decided to go for the F10 is because of the new N20 engine - Loads of potential!!!

Welcome. It's really amazing to see so much F10 on the road. I have never seen a F30 on the road yet.

Welcome. I foresee you will be more a mod freak than me. Bet you will chip/software tune your ECU. I have done nothing yet to my engine, not much to do with our 6 banger non-turbo.

Again thanks for the welcomes.

I also test drove the 328i and was very surprised with the torque and power the 2.0 litre could produce. But once I tried the F10, my mind was made up immediately that I would go for the 528i.

RC3, it seems that you can read my mind as I will definately go for a ecu tune. Before placing my order for the F10, I had contacted Burger Tuning and was told that they were working on a tune for the N20 which would improve power and torque significantly. This is one of the main reasons I went for this car.

As delivery is coming soon, I ordered some parts today.

I ordered the M sport front bumper from Wah Kee and they said that they also have HR springs. Any suggestions on whether they do a good job on the installation of springs? Your advise is most appreciated. Cheers.

A piece of cake job for spring swap, any shop could do it. WK has done many F10 springs so no worries.

Hi CHing, How much is the front bumper with installation? and do you know the front bumper is coming from Germany Original or Taiwan or elsewhere?

Thanks a lot.

I would like it taken out, just like the M5. Don't need a fog light really unless you are like me driving only with angel eye and fogs.
