Mak's F10.......

Sparky68 · 12-27-2014, 04:12 PM

Mine sounds like this when cold but, better when at normal temp. Be better still with AR DPs that are coming.

That explains it.

I may do a running video when I get go pro suction cup. It is not a comparison with petrol cars but not bad for 2 litre diesel.

No comparison to 335i with that exhaust one

Thanks.
Its proving difficult to get the springs done. All the garages which I rang are asking for silly prices as its fooking F10. Nothing special with that and this DIY shows that its relatively straight forward.
I may have to bite the bullet and get it done.

makkan00 · 03-08-2015, 05:50 PM

It has been long time since I updated this....

So weather was bit better so get the car washed. Got my camera out and sun disappeared. Took few snap shoots. Hope you like them.

Looking good Sam - love the wheels !

shaun335d · 03-08-2015, 07:24 PM

Very nice car Sam

JM85 · 03-09-2015, 02:39 AM

Really like that, wheels look great

Phil99z · 03-09-2015, 02:54 AM

Very nice! Loving the auto shifter knob

dest · 03-09-2015, 03:14 AM

That looks awesome mate!
Especially love the back end view with the quad exhaust

Waspo · 03-09-2015, 03:39 AM

Gorgeous Sam, Great choice with the wheels! Looking forward to seeing the F10 this coming weekend Sam. Weather looks OK, DRY!!

The0pportunist · 03-09-2015, 04:17 AM

Love how you done this, subtle to the untrained eye but i can see how much work has gone into it.

gangzoom · 03-09-2015, 04:33 AM

Looks great👍

Jat · 03-09-2015, 07:40 AM

That looks awesome!

AWBimmer · 03-09-2015, 07:43 AM

Saw this in the flesh yesterday and looked mean as!! Love it from all angles! Very tastefully modded and no doubt has been given ultra attention to detail.

old grey steve · 03-09-2015, 08:23 AM

Very subtle but it works really well, to carry it off I'd look at a subtle colour change re the wheels a mid light grey or something like that, wheel design spot on

I think with a slightly darker colour it'll make it look a wee bit lower but IMO for sheer looks wheel design is the nuts

dy63 · 03-09-2015, 08:27 AM

very nice looking motor. agree with steve dark wheels goes really wheel on grey cars but yours is quite a dark grey isnt it.

did you ever manage to find a private reg?

dakhu1 · 03-09-2015, 08:37 AM

That looks very very nice!! Great mods that work perfectly with the original design

Cheers dest. I do get plenty of compliments and Quad exhaust + fatso tyres at the back transformed the car mate.

BMW has made F1x a subtle car and same goes with M5. The are not as aggressive looking cars as E65 and E65 M5 used to be.
I just followed M5 body kit to start with and now going to modify it on the basis of M5 mods.

Steve
The only problem I see is the dark colour of my car. And if I go with light grey, it may make it mono tonus car. I learned that on my E91.

However, taken the point so though to try this;
1- M5 side wings ordered
2- M5 20 inch wheels ordered

Going to see how it looks with OEM M5 stuff.

So looking on internet, I found following pic of Sophito Grey F10 with M5 wheels

Mind you that these wheels are 19 M5 and easier to find. Finding 20 inch M5 wheels is really difficult. Found a company in Spain who is selling Daytona M5 replica wheels so ordered those.

I love Ispiri wheels. I was not sure about those but wherever I take the car, I get compliments. Took it to dealer and two different staff members commented on them. Another customer asked about them.
If m5 wheels do not suit the car, then I may refurb them in a different colour once they are old.

Raj, see above re: Wheels colour.

Private Reg: I am still on a hunt. Now perhaps looking to find one which is similar to my daughter's name.

richk84 · 03-09-2015, 11:09 AM

Mak that pic has m3/m4 wheels on it. How old it that m5? Could they have changed this with the later ones.
