Looks awesome! I really like the black wheels with the lighter paint colors. Any mods planned?

Thank you. It originally came with those two-tone 817M (I think) wheels. I got them powdercoated in black to exactly match the rest of the gloss black trim. Got it ceramic coated (3M), the tint is 3M ceramic, 35 percent, and clear 3M crystalline film on the windshield. Other than that, it is bone stock with almost every option. It is missing ambient air, bowers sound and cooled back seats. It has reclining back seats, but no cooling or massage in the back. Just cleaned it up and installed seemingly every accessory BMW makes. Air freshener, door projectors, valve stem caps, stationary wheel logos, umbrellas, all-weather mats, etc. Lol, got the Puma outfit and sneakers too, so I can look like a total douche everywhere I go. I am not going to mod the engine or anything else for now because it is a cruiser for business purposes. My last car was a 2012 Civic Coupe, so I am still getting used to the size and power.

How is the PPF working out for you? Does it really last for years?

It's only been about a month so I can't speak on the longevity, but the product has a 10 year warranty. As far as the look though, can't beat it. Even when the car is filthy dirty, it still looks shiny. I'll have to take a picture of it when it's dirty and post it, for reference.

Here's what I meant by the PPF still giving off a shiny look, even when the car is dirty. It's been raining a bit so it's pretty filthy.

Put 255/40 and 295/35 tires on, went with Michelin Pilot Sport All Seasons. I like the fitment but I think that 20x9 and 20x10.5 wheels will make it perfect, currently looking at some options with Vertini and possibly BC Forged. Love the ride with the thicker sidewall and the Michelins are WAY better than the stock Pirellis.

That's why I put on spacers and lowered. Makes a huge difference in appearance and yes the ride is lovely with the Michelin's. I'm actually starting to feel like I want a 21" wheel now but I love the 648M's.

I was referring more so to the fit of the tire to the wheel. 255 is okay on the 20x8.5 but I think 20x9 will be perfect. And 295 on the 20x10 looks quite tall, so it should look a lot better on 20x10.5. I just ordered these Stance SF03 wheels so we'll see how it goes.

I know I'm going to need to lower it too. Unsure about the Ghost links as a few here have complained about not being able to get the ride height dialed in on each side. But I also can't find anyone locally who can program the ride height.

Not to butt in here, but I have 255/45zr20 on my Lincoln that is 20x8.5. They look great so you shouldn’t have a problem.

After 6 years of ownership I sold my F10 M5 because I needed more leg room for me and my two kids in car seats. Just purchased this beauty from BMW of Columbus and had it shipped to me.
