528i M Sport is here!

[Rayhwc]

Snuck out to the back lot to see the M package 528i today. They definitely look much better with the bodykit then without, imo. The wheel/body gap looked a bit wide on the 18in wheels but was told that the bump stops have not been removed since transportation. I think a lot of detailing yet to be done on those cars, including adjustment of fit and finish. Some ways to go before they are showroom ready. Can't wait to see them on the roads cos they look great with the M-kit, even though it does not have the lowered M-suspension, nor 19in rims. Carbon black was nicest, imo.

Sunroof is important for me....girls dig sunroofs as they enjoy looking at the stars from the sunroof on a hilltop while we serenade to them....reverse camera....malaysian drivers are getting worse and i find it a useful safety feature...in case stupid kid or dog run behind u.....

I guess the two sub-models have their advantages and disadvantages - which is why they can offer them both together. Depends on your taste, whether form or function I guess.

nice as always. but the rims really determine how a car looks. imo, the previous non m-sport version of the 528i actually looks sportier.

Funny it didn't come with the spoiler...

I think the rims look quite good actually. The 19' M sport of course looks better, but then I guess there are tradeoffs there too. However, the car looks like it is sitting way too high for a 'sporty' model (assuming this car already had the bump stops for transportation purposes removed). Nothing aftermarket springs can't cure, I guess. Pity it did not come with the spoiler. I was also not too keen on the interior aluminum hexagon trim, which I think should have been dropped for the standard wood trim instead. Overall, it is still a much nicer looking car than the standard, imo.

In person, the M Sport actually looks taller than the standard F10, because it's bumper actually extends lower to the ground while keeping the same level for the kidney grilles.

 

[xero200]

It looks even better with the Hamann lips...

 

[paultantk]

what do you think of this?

makes the bumper look more complete as well... not used to seeing different height levels for the bottom line of the bumper.

 

[paultantk]

This is also quite interesting, tho it doesn't exist.

 

[xero200]

The 3D Msport lip is nice and subtle! I also like the carbon fibre Arkym lip (http://www.bmwblog.com/2011/04/14/arkym-f10-bmw-5-series-m-sport-aerokit/). But alas, I picked the Hamann because I like the side wings...goes better with the sophisto grey..

Dunno why... I find that any BMW looks weird if it has wheels that don't have BMW logos on the wheel caps, like the side profile looks incomplete.
