New Owner

R99 · 08-14-2017, 03:49 PM

Hi all,

New owner inbound on here with a F31 Touring in Individual Pure Blue. I'm coming from a E91 325d Tourer, which was extensively modded!

I'm collecting on Friday, can't wait!!

....,,,,..,,.. · 08-14-2017, 03:54 PM

Looks great, you will like it.

I went from an E91 to an F31 and really liked my time with the F31 330d.

It just effortlessly eats miles and the 8AT is brilliant.

UKF30 · 08-14-2017, 03:59 PM

I really like the colour and great car mate

willjames · 08-14-2017, 04:12 PM

Dude...sweet👌

Watsey · 08-14-2017, 04:45 PM

Welcome to the Forum

RWD and a penchant for modding - you're in good company. Great colour

stupideejay · 08-14-2017, 04:58 PM

Beast of a colour-I love my 330d , enjoy this

butch_ · 08-14-2017, 05:04 PM

That's a beautiful colour, good choice!

R99 · 08-14-2017, 05:50 PM

Thanks chaps!

My E91.... sadly reverted to stock for trade in on a X5 30d which was a lemon that took me 3 weeks of hell to reject!

Lux700 · 08-14-2017, 06:36 PM

Good colour!

Rbrown · 08-14-2017, 11:54 PM

That's a great looking car!

You will love the new one. It's a car that just gets better and better!!!

skipraider · 08-15-2017, 12:29 AM

Nice colour, stands out from the crowd. What was wrong with the x5?

You could have tried your bbs wheels on the f31 if you knew.

lonestarUK · 08-15-2017, 01:10 AM

Congratulations R99. Lovely car and great colour. I recently purchased a F36 430d and the power surge feels brutal so I think you'll enjoy that.

However, the MPPK is being investigated.... looking for more of a boost post 50mph.

TodmordenLad · 08-15-2017, 02:22 AM

Nice car, nice colour - great choice! The engine is perfectly suited to the car, with lots of low down grunt and effortless cruising
Have just part ex'd mine for a 4GC petrol but there's no better compact estate out there than the F31 - enjoy!

R99 · 08-15-2017, 06:30 AM

Thanks guys!

It has the Oyster interior, so it's an awesome contrast against the blue. Perhaps not everyone's taste though!

Wibbles · 08-15-2017, 07:42 AM

A superb choice mate. Looking forward to seeing this beauty in the flesh!

Beancounter_74 · 08-15-2017, 07:46 AM

I really like that and you won't see many on the roads, which is nice.

Reminds me of the old Leguna Seca blue of the M3's from days gone by.....

smithers330d · 08-16-2017, 07:43 AM

That is a very sweet looking F31 sir! Love the colour. 330d too; great choice!

Alscoob · 08-16-2017, 09:50 AM

Excellent choice, interesting colour... need to see that in the flesh to get the full impression... recon a set of black grilles will set that off a treat

R99 · 08-16-2017, 10:23 AM

I agreed M Performance grilles as part of the deal!

I'd be interested to know the costs associated with Individual Paint, also I'd love to know how many pure blue F3x exist!

CazuaLLUK · 08-16-2017, 11:15 AM

Nice!

Only ever seen one other F30 in Pure blue, James. It'll be a rare beast, for sure.

Nice to see a familiar forum name on here too!

I have seen a F30 on here (from the US) I think its a 340i with OEM M3 rims on it.

I want a new set of rims for this too, but not too sure what to do about its ride height either!
