F30 to F15!

JCMTL · 06-29-2017, 06:06 AM

Hey everyone, just picked up my new 2017 F15, BSM on Terra, MPPK & MP carbon kit, couldn't be happier!
Now just a matter of keeping this baby clean...

Thank you to the forum users for all your advice & input

rhite95 · 06-29-2017, 06:38 AM

Very nice !!

X5M50D · 06-29-2017, 07:06 AM

Looks great!
Any reason you didn't go the whole hog and have the rear spoiler and the rear side fins?

I've got a BSM 535 I recently acquired....not good if you're OCD about keeping it clean, but oh does it look good when clean. Search the forum on keeping black vehicles clean and get some good tips

excellent choices!!

Congrats! Any reason you didn't opt for LED headlight? Makes the front end so much more aggressive.

And don't worry about BSM; very easy color to keep clean.

Yeah... it looks killer in black, when it's spotless, keeping it clean will be the biggest challenge. Already read many posts about maintenance & paint protection, great advice from many users

I'll sure try! No, wasn't interested, $3000 option, and they didn't have any on the lot. This is pretty much exactly what I wanted.

r33_RGSport · 06-29-2017, 12:22 PM

Congratulation!!!
Car looks great. Missed my F15.

Doanster · 06-29-2017, 12:38 PM

Nice! An on-the-lot car that had MPPK?!?!
Very surprising if it wasn't a cancelled order car...
Oh wait, you could've had them install the MPPK before you took delivery. Duh on me if so.

It was the general manager's car, they added the accessories after they originally got it from the factory, because when I picked it up, the original BSM mirror covers & chrome kidney grills were in the trunk.

He's now driving the same truck, but in white, same specs, they guy has taste!

Congrats!

wankelman24 · 06-29-2017, 01:43 PM

Congrats! As a Carbon Black owner to a BSM owner, have fun keeping her clean! They do look amazing when they're all polished up! Wouldn't trade the color for any other! Have fun! Love the carbon splitter!

Being the mgr has perks, but to already unload a '17 and swap to a white one is crazy. Good deal for you, though. They even debadged it!

BimmerQuest · 07-01-2017, 01:36 PM

Congrats - looks fantastic!

I just did the same thing yesterday - move from an F30 to F15. I opted for MPPK in both and love it. I'm not great with finish maintenance so I went with glacier silver. I love your BSM with those black wheels.

Dude, I switched from an F80 M3 to 2017 X5 MSport. It's such a different experience but I can't lie, it's performs pretty decent stock.

Very nice! Is it sitting on Pirelli P-Zeros?

Yep, though they don't last long. I need to swap mine for new ones; debating whether to go back to the P Zeros or non-run flat Contis.
