535i

The sophisto grey 550i looks great! Seeing these pics makes me realize that the F10 really does need larger wheels like on the 550i to look really good. Anything under 19" unfortunately is just undersized for the car's size.

I was hoping that the 550's sport package wheels would look better in real life. Oh well . . .
Also, does it look like they're finally putting the high-gloss shadowline on the US sport package? Looks much better.

I liked it with 2 exceptions.
The wheels they put on are hideous. Totally gross and not at all sporty.
Needs M Tech kit to bring out its full styling potential.

Damn those wheels on the 550i :thumbsdown:. I wish they made the exhaust tips on the 535i bigger. I still like the car though...
The ride height ain't that bad but it will look better if they lowered it a bit.

Aside from the fact that both car look like they sit kind of high, and the wheels look like crap, and that there is no M-Tech package still, I actually like them both.
