Re: Any F13 owners collected their cars yet? Share impressions please!
Yah, the stock wheels are 366 type. And yes, I opted for Park Assist (Auto park). But since I have specified EVERYTHING from the factory, I imagine that BMW would ensure everything fits correctly, including the M-sport 373M wheels & the auto park

Did you opt for the IAS? That would be the only option I really want cause my previous car had it, and it really made a difference when driving, especially at slow speeds.
As for the auto park, I tried it on the 523HL and found it rather disappointing as it took too long and the lack of confidence in using the system. However, enjoy it since you already opted for it.

Re: Any F13 owners collected their cars yet? Share impressions please!
Hi Bro TheNew7,
Strangely, I HATED IAS. I have it on the F02, and I can understand why I would need it in a 5.2m long vehicle, especially at car parks - but in the F13, I'm desperately hoping for more predictable direct steering feel - so I opted OUT of the IAS.
I hate the unpredictability of the IAS - it's useful at carparks, but I still jerk the car way too much, I'm just not used to the changing/variable ratios.
I opted for the Comfort Seats, Surround & Side View, Auto Park & M-sport kit & dribs & drabs of other smaller options.

Re: Any F13 owners collected their cars yet? Share impressions please!
Bro spursburger, this is a classic line - you really cracked me up. Got such thing meh? "Ooops, I was looking at the F10 and ended up with the F13" hahahaha.
Lemme try a few variations of the same theme:
"Ooops, I was looking at the GENTS toilet but dunno how I ended up in the LADIES"
Or,
"Wahliao, I was just bending down to pick up my pen camera, dunno how these up skirt shots got inside it!"
Or,
"KNNCCB, I was just installing the Blackvue camera, and ended up recording inappropriate moment running lion because camera installed pointing inward!"
Hehehe... These kinda statements quite self incriminating one hahahahaha!

Re: Any F13 owners collected their cars yet? Share impressions please!
Strange to feel but when I drive the F02, I don't really feel IAS as much as I did when we had the previous E60 and E66.... But I really did notice the difference when I had to drive a friend's E60 without IAS, that was a world of difference.....
Nonetheless, enjoy the car...

Re: Any F13 owners collected their cars yet? Share impressions please!
I posted this in the MY forum, but I thought I'd gather the brothers' feedback on where might I get the mods done, and whatever recommendations any brothers may have for me here:
My DREAM mods of the F13 (it will probably NEVER happen, because the Home Minister will veto all attempts):
1. M sport gear knob.
This will go quite nicely with the M-sport Steering Wheel:
And the M-motif Dead Pedal:
Because the M-adorned interior is missing the M gear knob! See that sore thumb of a normal "Steptronic Sports Transmission" Gear knob? Cannot, cannot... Cannot make it! hehehe...
2. M front apron.
I am just so enamored by the way the M front apron looks. I don't know if such a kit would be available, or whether it would even fit the standard width/track of the basic 640i - but, if ever there were an oppportunity, that's a big item on my "to do list"!
3. Quad pipes:
Here I have 2 options. I've already found out that they can do 'non-functioning' cosmetic welding & diffuser trimming, to give me the Quad exhaust look - but, if I had an option, I'd rather go for a proper Eisenmann or Hamann item & get the sound, look as well as whatever horsepower gains (however fractional) to go with it!
Right now, none of the Quad pipes makers in the market cater for the 640i, so I'll just have to wait until they do.
Power upgrades.
Apparently, this baby claims up to 80hp (crank) and 60hp (wheel) gains, on a STOCK N55-powered engine! Dunno how true it is, but I'm sure keen to give it a try... at least, in my dreams anyway. I can just feel it... 320 crank hp from the N55 + 80 more from the Juicebox... that's near 400 horses... yum yum....
So, if any of the brothers here have any suggestions as to where might be a good place for me to be POISONED deep deep, please post your comments here.
For now, it's a dream - and I still have to negotiate with Her Majesty for permission...
BUT IT IS A GOOD DREAM!!!!!

Re: Any F13 owners collected their cars yet? Share impressions please!
bro... serious leh... haha... i went to PML to try the F10 520 and 528. Test drove both. Then few days later, brought my wife along to test drive the 528 to make sure she likes the 528 too. Ended up looking at f13, the main turning point was when my SE turned on the ädaptive LED angel headlights...

I have to agree that the adaptive headlights are pretty cool but I'm not sure if they're necessary. Don't get me wrong, I'd love to have them. But, we've been functioning without such features for a long while. Perhaps I don't drive at night as much as others... Still, they are awesome!

Re: Any F13 owners collected their cars yet? Share impressions please!
Bro Jase & Bro spursburger, the LED Adaptive headlights are indeed the whitest, brightest, sexiest lights I've seen in a BMW to date... how not to fall for them? I agree with Bro Jase, in Singapore, they will be a bit redundant, because our roads are like super well lit. However, in the off chance we go cheonging up the N/S highway, I reckon those lights will make a real difference. Good that the LED lights are standard for the coupe!

Re: Any F13 owners collected their cars yet? Share impressions please!
My f10 also got adaptive headlights. They are cool but pretty useless in sg context. Maybe if you go m'sia.
But the led ones on f12/13 are super bright and nice

Basket... See unker no up. I know, I got sissy mileage on the F02... But I promise to stop being so gu-niang and drive my F13 more. Even if I need to visit my neighbor next door I also drive over... Hehehe

got to add this in ......
Was a J4C last week and they were so excited over the highlights (its really quite amusing .....) and using a torch to examine it
I can think of other headlights that i would love to touch and fondle !
