Dark Treats // Kevin’s BMW F10 5 Series on OZ Racing
After a long first-week of 2016, started by a night full of fireworks, cheers, and trumpet blows, followed by ‘oh no it’s back to daily hustles’, fear not everyone; we have a treat to enlighten your day! Among the endless tones of color we could witness, the color black could easily be described as the classiest of them all. Pair …

Season of Wheels // Rainer’s F10 5-Series on BC Forged
If there’s one part of a car that I love most, it’d be wheels. For one, they represent one of the largest exterior percentage area of a vehicle. I mean, what else can you replace in a set of four! You can only have one spoiler, one front bumper, and at most, only sideskirts come in pairs. Just kidding. Well, …

Global Challenger // William’s E60 on Rennen Forged
There are over 17,000 islands in our beloved country Indonesia. Only 8,844 of those has been named and less than 1,000 has been permanently inhabited. Population size was 249.9 million people in 2013 and there were more than 500 different dialects being spoken. A country of diversity. An archipelago of beauty. A growing giant in technology. It doesn’t take a …

Perfect Me // BMW F10 5-Series on BC Forged
“If you don’t look back after parking your car… You didn’t buy the right one.” Experience. Preference. Variance. The way we live. The things we like. The people we grew up with. All these have directly influenced our decisions in finding the ‘right one’. The right car. Millions of variables nowadays have been engineered to form a single car. A …

A Different Shore // Rainer’s F10 on BC Forged
It’s a great pleasure for me to gather all these stunning Indonesian-owned cars from all over the world through HnP. Just couple of days ago I posted the story about Andreas and his Golf R; a fellow Indonesian who lives in Melbourne. Last week I’ve also posted a gorgeous GTI on air suspension owned by Nick, also an Indonesian, living …

Permaisuri Thursday // BMW 5 Series F10 on Hamann
Any BMW fan would’ve agreed that one of the most iconic wheel designs that look good on just every BMW model is the multi-spoked. Take the classic Alpina wheel as an example. From E30 to F01, they all look good sitting on those long, straight multi-spoked design lines. There’s a strong sense of class and heritage with those wheels, perfectly …

Show Off // F10 5 Series on MORR
Granted the F10 is one of the nicest-looking mid-size sedan out there right now (it has J.D. Power Most Appealing Midsize Premium Car 2013 award behind its back). While some other cars can take quite a few glances to get used to / admire (the Panamera for example), the F10 is a love-at-first sight for most. With its wide presence …

Permaisuri Thursday // 5 Series F10 on HRE S104
Another well built F10 has been featured on today’s Permaisuri Thursday post. With an M Sport body, Eisenmann exhaust and a set of luxurious 21″ HRE S104 wheels, Permaisuri has yet again managed to create one of the sleekest-looking F10 on our roads. Exotic. Rigid. With uncompromising details. The HRE S104 is surely among the most unique set of wheels …

Show Off // BMW F10 on Hamann Race Edition
Wheels make it or brake it. I am standing by that philosophy. What follows after wheels would be their fitment and dimensions as suited to the car. From diameter, width, to offsets; these are the ‘orchestratic’ combinations that can sometimes be difficult to understand, yet are playing a very crucial role in making up the overall look of the car. …

The Continentals // Euro Group Shoot
Contrary to the popular belief, I do think that modifying modern cars these days aren’t easy. To get that extra ‘oomph’ from the vehicle without sacrificing something else seems to be almost inconceivable. In a worst case scenario, one can even end up with an inferior item compared to the one which has just left the factory. Lowering your car …

Bad Boy // Telesto Grigio BMW E60
What if. What if you have all the time and money in the world to build the cars of your dreams. Anything. Any car. Any wheels. Any color you can think of. Any price. Would you buy a Veyron and call it a day? Would you hunt down the first car you’ve ever owned and purchase it back for all …

Bay Bridge Duet // Darien’s 5 Series and Kevin’s E Coupe
A San Francisco duo. Darien, owner of the BMW pictured here, sent me these wonderfully captured pictures overlooking San Francisco Bay Bridge several days ago. He has had the chance to hold a photo session with his friend Kevin (owner of E350 coupe) and had their rides captured by Patrick from QuickWorks. Oh, and if you’re wondering as to why …

Show Off // F10 5 Series on BC Forged
Another set of great pictures sent in by Winston J. As you might’ve noticed, we’ve been updating our logo and watermarks starting yesterday. Hope you’ll like it! Anyway, back to the car. This particular 5 Series has been equipped with Varex exhaust system. Built by Xforce (Australia), Varex is one of those companies offering vehicle-specific and universal exhaust systems that …

Show Off // F10 5 Series on BC Forged
Every once in a while, I do get submissions that put up some personal mixed feelings. Doubts whether I should post it or not. Whether it is appropriate to be posted at hawk’n’poke or not. The F10 5 Series with M5 kit I’m showing you off today is one of them. As you might’ve known by now, I’ve always put …

Malachite // BMW E60 5 Series on BC Forged
Past few days have surely been some of the toughest days for our team. Preparing the GENESIS show and gath was surely one of our largest challenges to date. Nevertheless, the event went great and all our hard works have paid off. It might not be perfect for sure, but it was surely a great start. It’s why we call …

SG Night Out // F10 5 Series on Vossen
Jackson is his name and this his third car ever posted at hawk’n’poke. Charles J went to Singapore couple of weeks ago and took these quick snaps of Jackson’s latest creation: the F10 M-Sport 5 Series on a set of Vossen wheels. His other two cars posted previously on our blog was the white W203 and white Evolution IV (has …

Show Off // F10 5 Series on HRE
A while ago Charles posted a Show Off article featuring a car that can quite possibly be the fastest X6M in Indonesia. It was installed with a plethora of Vorsteiner branded items and Akra exhaust system (Link: Vorsteiner X6M). A couple of days ago Charles met the same owner again to take several quick pictures of his F10 5 Series …

Show Off // F10 5 Series on DPE
The DPE SP-SC7 is surely a perfect example of well-executed concave wheel design. It’s got the lines, depths, and finishings that have created a very techy and 3D-looking wheel. Such popular and favorited design, however, has a rather unpleasant drawback: the rise of replicas. I’ve seen a lot of similarly designed wheels (most are replicas wearing DPE center caps) on …

Show Off // 5 Series F10 on Modulare
I’ve just received another highend combo from Permaisuri: A BMW 5 Series F10 rolling on a set of 21″ Modulare wheels. There’s no doubt that the brushed finishing on these large wheels has managed to attract the right amount of attention every time. They’re not too flashy nor striking, which is good, in serving as an extension to the F10’s …

Dual Tone // F10 5 Series on BC Forged
I tell you, writing articles almost every single day and picking an interesting aspect of a car to talk about have never been easy. Reading the articles are definitely easy. Writing? Not so much. That’s why, while I was looking for an inspiration around this stunning BMW F10, I was struck by an idea. Perhaps I can actually make my …
