Most noticeable change is the rear tail lights. the LCI ones are swoopy compared to the straight horizontal lines of the pre-lci models.

Nice choice! Yeah I definitely love my HUD as well. No idea how I ever drove a car without one?

Yeah I know It makes sense though because the xdrive cars are geared towards people in the snow belt. In my area its not that the snow is horrible, its just that the idiots around here don't know how to pre-treat roads. It happens enough to where it made sense to order the car with it. I figured getting the Adaptive M Suspension pretty much made up for the slightly higher ride height. I can always resolve that with some springs Too bad its not a factory option.

I agree, I never knew what I was missing. I like how the nav shows up on it.

I waited on my M3 and did a PCD. That was special. Lol I do love the color so much more in person. More than I thought. If I ordered one I would go "Superman" colors though.

Waiting is worth it in my opinion! An M car with PCD is definitely something I'd like to do, im sure it was a great experience.

It is really a major improvement on the nav and everything from my 2011. You got an even better and faster system on the 2016. I know it must be amazing. Have you downloaded or used the app "BMW REMOTE"?

It is great for sending driving routes to your nav. I think it is so cool. You ordered perfect options. Are you going to do any performance upgrades? I really like the CF front and rear spoilers and maybe a few interior things. I keep looking at your brakes and having a little regret lol. Sweet ride

You know, I was looking at CF bit and pieces, but I haven't seen any F30's in EB with F/R spoilers. If I found some pictures I could start mulling it over. I know at a minimum im doing the reflector delete. That's gotta be the stupidest thing BMW has ever put on a bumper... Just sayin...

328, mostly aesthetic with some suspension changes. The 335 is now the 340 and it gets a new engine. This thread should answer your questions.

FWIW, the difference between X35i and X28i can be felt in just about every car in BMW's line up. I've noticed even the SUVs have a substantially different feel between the 35i and 28i variants. Doesn't mean the 328i is as agile as the 228i, but you can feel the difference between the 335i and 328i, for sure.

I guess what I'm saying is, it's easy to see where the OP is coming from

I completely agree, however the difference between the 4cyl and the 6cyl is most pronounced in the X3. The difference i felt between the 328/335 was a bit more subtle since both cars handle EXTREMELY well. Overall I would have been happy with either and I would encourage prospective buyers to drive BOTH and see which one works best for them. With all that being said, im glad i went the way i did.
