So I purchased this car brand new in 2012 and kept it completely stock until March 2022

I recently got a 2022 Model Y performance as my new daily so decided to go crazy on the F10

Also want to point out that this car is actually very reliable if you just do the basic maintenance that is expected for a BMW

I’ve been posting this build on my IG: automaz_

Looks great. These are indeed pretty reliable. For the first time, I’m regretting buying the warranty on mine.

What are the wheel specs?!

I initially had the car on lease 2012-2015 and then I bought it out instead of returning so they CPOd it for me haha

The rims are
19x9 ET 35
19x10 ET 38

Tires Conti DWS6
245/40 R19 100Y
275/35 R19 100Y

I’m getting around 30k miles from the tires and I drive through the winter with these too. I had a flat on the rear after 17k miles so had to change the rears first

61,300 = 4/27/18 New rims and tires

78,123 = 7/13/19 REAR tires changed

88,000 = 7/1/30 Front tires changed

105,737 = REAR tires changed

Thanks. Mind sharing the kind of rims? Looking for a similar look on mine with keeping the stock tire sizes
