I want a lighter color then black deciding between these two colors. I kind of lean more towards the Yas marina blue, over the Monte Carlo blue. This is just for future idea when I want to get car fully painted.

Update 3rd is Estoril Blue kinda like that too. haha

Top blue. Powder Blue (the bottom pic) looks too girlie to me. Just my opinion, though.

I feel the black accents set the color off. I also plan on doing carbon fiber trunk, hood and carbon/black roof to have not just pure blue. I think in my head this would pop and look unique. I'll have a bit to think about it also, may explore other blues also.

Yas Marina is not fitting to a larger luxury sedan in my opinion. I think that color also screams for attention like a teenage kid, not very classy. I’d say any of the other blues are more fitting to a F10/F11

Yeah after finding that one It feels like the match, seems like the yas marina is more dedicated to m3. Not wanting to be a poser haha

I vote Estoril on such a big car. I love the Yas blue but it's more for a sports car. IMO. Good luck. Let us know what you end up with.

That looks cool af, given the time frame I have I'm sure I can Photoshop a f10 with mods I want on it. I love to hear opinions, just love ideas and really want something I'm gonna look out the door and say damn. Yas marina is a beautiful color specially the mental image I have in my head. It would be very unique to where i live, it's one of those things where driving something of special color will make it stand out which is what I love. I'd rather not be on the band wagon but rather a outcast on my builds.

Two style rims I enjoy on yas marina, also a style 351 gloss black in my head too. These are just examples of what starter mods I'd want to do.

i have one more year to finish paying off my F10. so next year i'll be looking for a Yas Marina M3 i'm only down the street from you so basically driving a BMW around here already stands out compared to all the domestic cars on the road. I get a lot of approval looks, guys breaking their necks and a lot of thumbs up from all ages when I drive around in my JetBlack F10 on Bronze wheels.

I had similar wheels on my Turbo Integra. GramLights from Volk. I really feel those TE37's look only good on imports like Supra's, FD RX7's and GTR's. but not on a BMW. a fellow member here had them on his F10. 2 different colors to be exact. looked good because he had his F10 painted orange. i'll have to try to find a picture.


as far as wheel choices I really like spoke design particularly 2-3 piece setups. here's when I had my custom forged 3 piece wheels being made



even my OEM 356's look nice as a 1 piece design.


but here's some other spoke designs I like

BTW, without going back to your previous posts what have you done already and what do you plan on doing just so I can get some insight as far as the direction you're going in. as you can see I went with an aggressive look.

Well rims are not huge deal to me living in ohio with road salt. I'd like to trade my avant garde m510s for some style 351s. Hood I wanna eventually get a carbon fiber. M sport front and rear bumper with rear diffuser. Height not to worried about at the moment. Also on that list is a upgraded steering wheel, tan leather switched to black leather. Wanting the same rear window spoiler as you. Getting my mufflers chopped off soon within the next week or so. Now that I think about it I really enjoy the look of yas marina on the 5 series with the 351 style. Other then those mods I wanna get better cooling for radiator, intercooler just wanting to make this car last.

my car doesn't see salt any more since it now sits and hibernates until after winter


I almost went with the AG M510's. a fellow member here had some on his car



for the hood I was just get it carbon fiber wrapped. for the steering wheel I went with a custom made Ledermanz which you can pretty much get it designed any way you want from style and materials


Black leather top, bottom and middle. Black Alcantara sides. Flat bottom... thumb rest with cinnamon 12 o'clock stripe and cinnamon tri-stitching




You can see the contour of the bottom thumb rest


Close up of the cinnamon tri stitching



I would definitely go with the same roof spoiler as hands down the best looking one on the market. it's made out of Polyplene so I just wrapped it with carbon fiber vinyl. still holding to this day



Here's the underside:


here it is after it's wrapped






as far as the MSPORT front and rears I did just the rear since I like my non M front and only because I like the 3d carbon fiber spoiler they have for it. but I picked up the MSPORT rear for like $100 from a fellow forum member who bought it off ebay. it's polyplene so it's just like OEM and fitment was pretty on point. all I had to do was source the rear reflectors and had a local shop paint the MSPORT skirts and rear bumper

How much did the steering wheel run you? As for m sport bumper I love the look of the front. Just got my exhaust tips in the mail now I gotta find a muffler shop to do it for cheap. I'll end up keeping the muffers to sell or scrap if I can't sell.
