of course I would also change the crome grills to black

Retail difference 110K (now) to 126K for the dream combo.

What would you do?

nv6425 · 10-12-2013, 09:56 PM

I wouldn't do it, your car looks awesome!

Rohardi · 10-12-2013, 09:56 PM

Only you can answer that for your self. But I think the upgrade from the 19s alone, make it worth it!

Pazzo009 · 10-12-2013, 10:12 PM

Save your money, throw a quality set of 20's on your car...step back and Marvel.

URBAN LEGEND · 10-13-2013, 07:24 AM

Only if I got a smoking deal at the end of the month.

My opinion only! You're car looks great, and I would keep it. I never been fond of burning dollars for the next upgrade nor getting the same car twice. Once you buy it's old, and a new toy will be out soon. Again only my opinion as I rather buy a different make and model to experience some variety. I have never got the same car twice too many choices. However good luck with yours, and I agree with the OP get the 20" wheels are you're good to go. End of the day it's your decision only, and who cares what we think(:

Jay-K · 10-13-2013, 10:38 AM

save your money, your car is amazing, love the 19!
especially that singapore grey!
i'd spend the money to really give some gentle mods to the car,

+1

I have changed my car after a few months a couple of times with the obvious financial hit, but this has been because I have not been happy with my original choice to a significant extent (i.e. have hated the car). If your are happy with the pre-lci and not due a change, then, IMHO, would skip the change to lci CP.

SWITCH! Reference our previous conversation about "a few bucks to get what you want". If this is your "dream car" as you say then go for it! Live for TODAY!

That would be a 2014 CP. BMW does mid-model upgrades (LCI) which has just occurred. Not likely there will be any changes whatsoever except a nice price increase.

chong0 · 10-13-2013, 06:40 PM

who will give you 110k for the 2013? save the difference, put it towards the m3/m4

Bingo my thoughs exactly. Not sure I would drop 230k on a Aston too many toys at that price point.

RPiM5 · 10-13-2013, 08:52 PM

Dood, if money is no object then switch. If your accountant can't handle the near bankruptcy your going to put yourself in by getting the LCI, then don't do it. It's essentially the same car, just with more "stuff." If you are gonna switch get an M6, M6 GC, or a totally different platform.

Me personally, I'm waiting to test drive the M4 and 2014 911 GT3 before I even think about getting rid of the F10.

uhn2000 · 10-13-2013, 10:00 PM

Hmmm, I am all for following dreams. Sometimes we don't know what we want exactly till we own a variation of it etc. Go for it!

khanyam4 · 10-20-2013, 01:48 PM

I would definitely do it because you're paying more money to essentially get the same car, very logical choice. I mean it make sense.

wisesoul · 10-20-2013, 02:23 PM

No don't switch, you have one of the only M5s I've seen on 19s. Looks gorgeous.
