First set of mods

FIRST SETUP
This is probably close to a year and a half ago when I first got my F10, I decided to put some Vossen CV3 on it and just leave it at stock ride height, some of my other mods included:
-AutoCarbon Carbon Fiber Grill
-AutoCarbon Carbon Fiber Lip Spoiler
-Alpine White painted rear reflectors
-AutoCarbon Carbon Fiber Side Markers
-3M black vinyl roof
-Custom straight pipe exhaust
-Vossen CV3 painted gloss black

Second set of mods

SECOND SETUP
Soon after I put on my Vossen wheels, I decided to expand the amount of carbon fiber that I had on my car, so I then added:
-Arkym Carbon Rear Diffuser
-Arkym Carbon Front Lip
-AutoCarbon Carbon Fiber Mirror Caps

Third set of mods

THIRD SETUP
So after a while of having the Vossen CV3 and being at stock ride height, I decided to change it up and finally lower my car, so I decided to go with some H&R springs as I was new to the whole idea of "lowering cars" (ironic as to what my setup is at today), but with that drop I also decided to change up my wheel setup, so I parted from the Gloss Black Vossen CV3 and made a switch to the newly released at the time Vossen CV2 Limited Edition Matte Graphite, along with this I had my calipers painted Red and removed the Arkym front lip as I was scared of wrecking it.
Mods include:
-H&R Sport Springs
-Vossen CV2 Matte Graphite Limted Edition
-3k LED foglights
-Red painted brake calipers

Fourth set of mods

FOURTH SETUP
This is where this is going to get fun, so after about 2 months of having my H&R sport springs I decided that it was time to go lower, due to the fact that everybody was already lower than me, so I then decided to get a set of KW Variant 1 coilovers!
Mods include:
-KW Variant 1 Coilover
-Window Visors
-3D Design gloss black roof spoiler

Vossen Wheels Photo Shoot

Vossen Feature
About a month after the previous feature with Stance Miami, I got a call from Vossen that they wanted to do a photo shoot of my car, which was exciting to say the least as I was always a big fan of Vossen and was on my second set of their wheels! Photoshoot by my good friend Donato Del Appi
New Mods:
-Hamman Carbon Roof Spoiler
-Full Carbon Mirrors
-Carbon Fiber Eyelids

You went HAM!

Meaning of HAM per Urban Dictionary

Going ham:

Ham stands for: hard as a motherf**ker.
Therefore, this word is easily defined as "going
hard as a motherf**ker". Every other definition
I've seen on this website is definitely not right.


lordmcdonnell: You know what I'm gonna do tonight?

LACSTER: No, what??

lordmcdonnell: I'm goin ham.

LACSTER: What's going ham mean?

lordmcdonnell: Ham means "hard as a motherf**ker". So goin ham means I'm gonna go hard as a motherf**ker.

Seventh set of mods

CURRENT SETUP
Ever since Vossen released the CV7 awhile back, I had my eye on the Silver Polish finish, and up until now I haven't had the opportunity to get my hands on a set as they are one of the highest selling finishes, but when they finally came available I had to get my hands on a set of them! So I did I also added a BMW 460 Roof Box painted Alpine White, I also removed my tints for a cleaner classier look!
Mods:
-Vossen CV7 wrapped in Toyo Tires
-BMW 460 Roof Box
-REMOVED TINTS

I'm sorry to say that I have the same colour combo and I think everything you've done to the car makes it look worse than factory. Starting with the black wheels, which make the car look like it is all wheel well and no wheel (i.e. white to black contrast) and in my view the cars looks worse and worse as you keep lowering it. I haven't seen a vinyl roof since the 1980's Chrysler Cordoba (with "rich Corinthian Leather") and all the money after that seems to make the car look like it belongs on a gang block somewhere.

If it was my money, I'd have just taken what you've spent plus the cost of your car and bought a 2014 M5 with the competition package. Classy understated looks with killer performance.

That's just one man's opinion though. You posted so I thought I'd provide feedback. Enjoy though!

I think the same thing as Grover432.... I have a 535i Imperialblau metallic, and it looks great with the default height. This car here is so lowered, that seems to be damaged
The silver rims are great, and I think that the tinted windows with the white color gives the car a beautiful look.
Anyways, as we say here in Chile, "cada loco con su tema!", so if you are happy with the mods that you've done, congratulations and enjoy them

Thanks for the input! I definitely like the silver wheels best because the black wheels don't show any detail at all! Next set will be an all new color
