I know its not an F30

Good afternoon folks,

I know my new car is not an F30 but there is absolutely no action on the Oz F10 section.

As has been mentioned before I have ordered an F10 and it has arrived safely in Newcastle and I will be collecting it next Wednesday.

I've been hassling our resident upgrade expert about wheels and springs and I hope to have those fitted the following weekend.

Anyway, here is a teaser I just received from the dealer.

Hmmm, mocha

See that gauge Jeff

Congratulations on the new car Mocha Nappa leather very nice.

That gauge If the F30 ever came out with a retrofit for the LCD guage, I wouldn't think twice to place an order.

I guess the F80 cluster is the next best thing.

Very nice choice of options, the only thing I would probably add would be the B&O Sounds system.

I'll be down at the secret coding location on Saturday 24th getting wheels fitted if anyone wants to see it in person.

Not sure about the springs? I'm concerned it will be, with the front lip, too low. I really can't be shagged having to stop at speed bumps and so on.

Very nice! the F10 is one of the best looking 5series in my opinion. I might be at the secret coding location on the 24th, as the owner has supplied me new wheels I'm on the F30 forums too because 2addicts is pretty dead as well

You should consider the GTC-AFF1s!! I reckon they will look good on the F10.

Here's what they look like on my car

The owner of the secret coding location sent me a pic of those today, I prefer the others. Thanks though.

Here are very similar on an F10.

Looks great and those wheels look very tasty.

Love the LCD clusters. Hoping the next 3 series has it as I'll probably stick with a 3 series next time as well.

$12.5K It's nice to have but not for that much, HK is plenty good.

Thanks Tim, the wheels are just above.

I was looking at either Eibachs or H&R's but I am really worried about the front being too low with the M Performance lip. I think I'm just going to leave as is.

As for wheels its all eye of the beholder stuff... personally the gtc isnt type.

As for springs, if you are going m performance lip i would def reconsider lowering as the lip definitely reduces clearance especially driving around sydney tho is newie it might be ok.
