I agree! My last 2 vehicles before the 10 series were silver, but this color I love. Especially with my new wheels.

I decided to go with eibach sportlines. I was hesitant at first but I absolutely love them. It feels like stock and since I live in South Dakota there's no point on me dropping the car more.

The only way id lower the car is with larger rims to close the gap. Should stay around the same ground clearance since the bigger rims should raise you more, at least .5". Droping 1" should be the equivalent of -.5" ground clearance

I think it says a lot that many of 10 owners are people that usually hate silver cars.


I've never considered a silver car before (even went with black twice and dealt with the inevitable swirls). I knew the next car had to be a pearl (like whiteout/satin white pearl) but when I saw this I've been hooked ever since.
