Congrats, Rudy! I just want to know one thing...what's the black dot forward of the front wheels, behind the deflectors? It also looks like the F10 Sport sits higher than the E60, too...bummer.

I know you'll lower it soon and mod the shit out of it, though.

Can't wait for the write-up....

I believe those are the side cameras! It does sit higher, almost as high as the xDrive.

Yes, those are the side-view cameras and yes, the car seems to sit higher (or there's just more space between the top of the tires and the wheel arches.) We've speculated that the additional space is needed to provide more suspension travel when the car is in "comfort" mode but who knows?

Rudy

Please compare how you like the F10 DHP versus IAS and the M-Sport Suspension in your previous E60. I know that you are in love but please be objective. Thanks.

Congrats Rudy! Can't wait for your informative write-up! I see you are playing CD - do you know how it pulls the album cover?
Awesome - enjoy your new white beauty!

I have the same "look problem" with my 18" winter's now. With my summer 20" the gap seems much smaller.

The car will come down a bit after some thousand miles.
