I saw John at Mt. View BMW a week ago - he told me he got one...

What is some of his feedback on it, Tony?

I'm going to have to get one of those in 2013...only a couple years away. I'll let someone else pay the 50% depreciation and pick up a low mileage example. Just can't do new... I saw an f10 535i on the freeway the other day... beautiful...

I just built a 550i M Sport in AW with the 20" Ferric Grey 312 wheels. I think this looks stunning!

The only mods that I would do are as follows:
  • High Gloss Black Kidney Grills
  • 35% Tint
  • Dinan Tune
  • Wheel Spacers
  • Paint the front yellow reflectors AW

A 2 year lease and look to move into the new M5 after it's been out for 18+ months. Very tempting...

I like them a lot, but I'm wondering if my R10's would work on the F10?
