Specs and upgrade

Clarkey666 · 10-09-2017, 05:48 PM

Hi All .. I have an 2014 F30 320D .. Had it a year now and very happy with it ... Think its time i started to make some small changes .. not the mortgage payment type changes that increase performance as I am happy with how she behaves already ... I have dropped in the spec sheet that came with the car below .... I was thinking of some subtle changes to looks inside and out and was interested to hear what would be on your shopping list if you had a couple of hundred pounds to spend

Here are a couple of things i was thinking ....
1. LCI radio/air con surround (the lit one that is on the LCI) I already have comfort lighting pack.
2. debadge (or replaceing the silver badging with black)
3. Black kidney grills

Any other suggestions

For me, black kidney grills are probably the best minor mod you can make to the look of the car. Do those first. The M Performance diffuser isn't bank breaking and putting black exhaust tips on is a (relatively) minor cost change as well.

How good this stuff will look will depend on the colour of your car and, well, your personal taste too

Tuning box is only a couple of hundred or so and will give a nice boost.

Thanks 225 ..
I don't think I really need a performance boost as I am happy with the way she behaves already ...
I really just want to subtly upgrade some aesthetics inside and out ..

Never, ever put on here 'asking for suggestions'.

The answer will always end in '40'.

I asked for advice between a 430i and 430d and ended up ordered a 440i!

Be warned!

Sometimes people need help in seeing the light..... The light that is an x40i
