My Ride: My ex-ride: EU '08 LCI 520dA. Space Grey, Sport Seats in Black Leather/Fabric Anthracite, Sport Steering Wheel, A/C with Extended Features, Hi-Fi Speakers, Cup Holders, Cruise with Braking function, Folding Rear Seats, Xenons, Park Distance Control.
I'm picking up my new car this Saturday! It's a Space Grey 523i (6-cylinder). The
wheels that come with it are 17" and very very bland looking.
BMW Taiwan has a promotion of:
V-spoke 356, Bicolor 20" rims on Dunlop RFT
Replacement of front grill in black
White Line rear lights (seen in this picture attached)
Carbon fiber Spoiler
For USD$6,633.
What you think of white line rear lights?

In Europe the L6 523i and 528i are gone. They are now 520i and 528i with a 2.0 l L4 turbo engines.
You got one of the last F10 L6's!
Only the 535i and the 530d and 535d are now L6's. All BMW engines are now Twin Turbo's.
Yes, the 17" wheels are way too small for the F10. I have 18" rims for the winter and even they look too small.
I would say 19" wheels is a minimun for the F10.
The V-spoke 356, Bicolor 20" are not that bad nore is my 312's, but as I wrote elsewhere wait for the new M wheels.
Black grill, white line rear lights and the spoiler are not in taste worth nothing.

My Ride: E60
Update: Sold my car (E60) and felt a bit sick seeing my cool looking E60 drive away with its new owner...
Oh well... Back to the new car, I still haven't been able to decide on the V-spoke 356's or not. I want to
use RFT for sure so I'm not sure if waiting for the M rims (which are non-RFT) is the answer or not.
Are there any newer rims coming out from BMW or is what we see now it?
