Hows the ride quality xero on Malaysia roads? You running on RFTs? Interested to know before I get mine done. I like the 281s in 19 or 20 actually.
 
The ride quality on any 19"or 20" on Malaysian roads would be terribly bumpy due to the nature of how the road transportation department have specially built the roads. I'd say don't expect the comfort of the original setup and be prepared for a harsher and rockier ride with low profile 19 or 20" tires. Nonetheless, you'd be getting more traction with bigger wheels! I am not running on RFTs...

I once had a sabotage on my tyres in the E-46 pneumatic days (ordinary tyres not RFT) - blade cut on the sidewall. Could have caused a nasty accident. Now I am thankful that they have RFT, will have to live with the less pleasurable drive.
 
I noticed a lot of f10 users don't really do much to their cars as opposed to E60 owners. Do you guys feel that the f10 is already refined in its standard form? Or, you just find it a waste of money to plunk in body kits and all?

My guess is the F10 is still fresh and not that many on the road yet, so no need to make it stand out from others as it is still rare. E60 owners however, feeling the need to freshen the looks of their ride and make it stick out like a sore thumb from the massive fleet of E60s on the road today. Also some of them had the e60 fof a while now and needs something to keep them entertained. With the F10 there's also the void warranty issues to think about too I thought? My theories only..

Still admire the new beauty.probably 3,4 years down the road many will put a new body kit.especially secondary buyers

Actually I have been seeing a lot of F10 after being an F10 owner myself. The LED rings are so bright that you can spot one a mile away!

the modifications will come when the cheaper reconditioned cars arrive in white colour. so far the biggest modification i seen to the f10 is one with 7 series rims.
 
I've seen one with a full Hamann bodykit with white lines tail lamp. I'd make way for them, my 20"rims are sand bagging the f10 performance...

I prefer Hamann bodykit over the M sport.. firm & elegant :top:
 
Yeah the Hamann's bodykit's nice, but the 4 LED strips are tacky and overused on lower range cars all over the roads today. The M sport is just a classic that you can miss for a BMW. Check out the Hamann lip on the Msport, that's more subtle and refined dynamics.
 
Xero200 how much did you get your 535 for ? Im thinking of getting one. Yours is a Msport yes? judging from your avatar.
 
Hey M5sport, I got my car in the mid 400K range...recond from UK. Add this and that, about 500K plus. I got the Msport bodykit locally, but looking at more add ons on the way...
