My Ride: f10 520da - 328 wheels, ambient lighting, sport s-wheel, oyster/black, fineline anthracite, Sophisto Gray
"I have figured out WHY i prefer my E60 550i (visual, outward appearance).....now more than ever after seeing recent F10 MSport pics., and others with the F10 MSport pkg...
My 550i has a low, aggressive, crouched ready to pounce look, the car slopes from the front to rear deck in perfect proportion.
The F10 even in MSport has a very pronounced up front unbalanced appearance, straight up, huge snout, seemingly little aerodynamic wedge.
Granted the F10 interior is a nice improvement, but isnt it the face, figure, and shape that gets your attention?"

Congratulations 550i now
Color contrasts work always nice (white-black).
You only need some nice darkish 20" wheels on it and it will look awesome.
