Here she is!

jet888 · 04-01-2014, 09:00 AM

After what seemed like an eternity when I sold my M3, I finally picked up my F10 the other day.

Love the fact that most people have no idea what it is but those who do; seem to give it quite an amount of respect. Even had a chap in a yellow 458 turn his head to look at it!

First job, exhaustmeister and LCI front grilles I think.

Like your style. Seen your car? on you tube and it sounds insane. Think my neighbours would kill me if I had that set up. Will have to make do with waiting for MSTMNG to do a fly by at some point!

Thanks for all the comments guys

Spec off the top of my head

Sapphire black with black merino interior
343m" alloys obviously -
Sun protection glass
Comfort access - Never had that in my BMW's before - nice
Power bootlid, soft close doors - How lazy can we get?
Surround view - Useful in central London
M seats - Still trying to find best position!
Spilt folding seats - Why is this an option on a flagship car!
Speed limit - Gimmick but nice one especially as it pops up on HUD
Internet - My old 56 k modem was quicker than this!

Knightsbridge?

Congrats, great looking car.

One note on the exhaustmeister, I THINK (so please don't everyone shoot me down on this one!

) that here in the UK, the exhaust flaps are open all of the time apart from cold starts. Mine certainly seems to be open 100% of the time after the initial 30 secs - 1 min of cold start idle.

I THINK the exhaustmeister is more relevant in the US as the flaps appear to be closed more often (I can't vouch for this but it appears that way from what I've read)

Hopefully save you buying and fitting one unnecessarily

Thanks fella. Interesting on the exhaustmeister, my research on here lead me to believe it was purely mechanical from the amount of revs the engine was at.
Thanks for the heads up in either case, will do some extra research

It was the below exhaustmeister vid - UK car - that sold it to me.
Much better than the one they use on thier own website

infamousq · 04-02-2014, 08:57 AM

Looks good 11 more months for me!!!!

I'll be interested to here some more opinions on this one, I too was keen to get one when I first read about them but I couldn't get my head around how it added any value when the flaps are open all of the time when the car is up to temperature.

Check out your exhausts and see if the outers are ever closed when the cars warmed up, I wonder is the car in the vid cold hence the flapped are closed, look forward to hearing anymore views on this, if it really does work i'll be back to buying one myself!

And in the meantime enjoy the car
