My F30 Completed!! Full bolt on! with Dyno results!, Racechip, Mcchip ECU tune, more!

Love the interior!
Red leather, and the entire front dash is black - the way it's meant to be!!

I've seen other members with Coral Red interior and the underside of the dash is also red which looks quite tacky imo.

Good stuff mate, car looks great.

Just get rid of the ///M badge on the rear of the car... That really needs to go asap!

I honestly love the badge, but welll.. i know guys. You are are changing my view on it slowly..

OP hows the beast running =D

MTTH · 01-26-2016, 04:45 PM

Please get ride of the ///M badge, it's not even sized correctly. Awesome car otherwise!

Burnt C6 · 01-27-2016, 06:41 AM

very nice ride.

CalCarNut · 02-02-2016, 06:02 PM

Nice car

Who friggin cares about the M badge on the decklid. It has M on the brakes. Should he paint over those too? People take that badge way too seriously...and it IS an M-Sport modeled car for crying out loud....

MSportTune2 · 02-02-2016, 06:48 PM

Kudos to you for taking the trouble to dyno every mod and share with the community here. Great call in keeping it constant by using the same dyno.
After you unselfishly share, people are giving you flack over a M badge on the trunk,...good grief!

I lost count how many M badges I have on my car when I bought a M Sport F30 and added all the M Performance parts. Blame BMW then,....

PelotonToPodium · 02-05-2016, 10:40 AM

VERY sweet build....but as other have said, that M badge needs to be gone, numbers too if you can

artyroja23 · 02-07-2016, 09:44 AM

Thanks for a the support guys!

The opinions are split on this one lol

Removing badge is ok but definitely not the numbers
In thailand the ones that remove their numbers basically own 320i/d

Not like in US where i can easily get an M4 for a very similar price

bloody tax!

Harlequin · 02-14-2016, 08:02 PM

Very nice car mate. I'm just starting to look into engine mods on mine. Told myself I wouldn't touch it for the first 12 months but I don't think I can hold out..

As for the ///M badge, my last car was an M so I'm not just talking out my arse here: My thoughts are that as long as you leave the model designation in place (like you have) then there's nothing wrong with adding an ///M badge.

If you had taken the numbers off and left ONLY the ///M then that would, IMO, be inappropriate.

I do think you need to get a better badge though. That one is the wrong size and looks cheap. (The OEM M235i badge would be the perfect size.) For myself, I just debadged mine. I like it nice and clean.

upstatedoc · 02-17-2016, 10:56 AM

Ballpark on what you paid for all the mods?

jpw8BKK · 05-18-2016, 11:00 AM

nice work on the Beemer artyroja23

I've recently bought a 328i here in Thailand also.

In your first post when you bought the car I read you were thinking about the m performance suspension, but I see that you went for coilovers.

May I ask why?

BMW offered a deal on the kit (90k fitted) and I'm currently booked in early next month.

Ive read the 30 page thread on it, and I'm a little apprehensive with some (most?) of the guys that did it, saying it can be overly harsh...and considering the state of some roads here.... :O

nawinu · 07-08-2016, 10:59 AM

Thanks for all the info.. I live in Bangkok too also with F30 328i in blue.

Thinking of modding it soon, but do not want warranty (BSI) to be voided.

I am also interested in the M performance suspension. May I please ask for your review once you have installed it ? The original suspension is not doing it for all of us here...

Thanks!

CRJdriver · 07-08-2016, 02:54 PM

Isn't that low? I did 270 on a dynojet when vitrually stock only a catback.

Who? · 07-08-2016, 08:35 PM

hey the badge looks ridiculous

i don't say this because its an ///m badge, but because its way too big.
if you have to get an m badge, get the fender one and stick it on the back?

nice figures btw

907f30 · 01-17-2019, 04:07 PM

Is there a way to tune a racechip to adjust for bolt ons?

Nice looking car! I love white with proper tint.
