Black F30 M Sport

Mr Goat · 07-23-2012, 03:30 PM

Thanks Howow for the information. I personally think the M Sport is nice, but to each their own.

This might help..

Wow ... now I'm really confused lol ... not sure if I should stick with black ... that looks great! I think the rims and wheels make all the difference. Are those 20's?

but you still cant see the lines that show with white and EB II

NateDog07V · 07-23-2012, 04:13 PM

very sexy... you lose a lot of lines in pictures of black cars but i'm sure in person this is a super stunner.... what wheels are those? car doesn't look like it's setup for offroading either so i'm guessing these wheels/tires fill the wheel well a bit more or the car is slightly lowered

These are 20'' from a 6-serie m-package

Much better! I didn't wanna say, but the original pics confirmed for me the stock m sport 18's just don't cut it.

I agree with the other post that said the pictures make it even harder to see the lines of the m sport in black. I can tell from other m sports I've seen in person in black (F10's, E90's, even M3's, etc), it doesn't stand out as much as other colors, but it's not invisible either

chrisny · 07-23-2012, 05:14 PM

Do you have any good clear shots in good lighting? I think shadows and glare are causing these pics to do some injustice to your car. I'd love to see a good shot of the back in good lighting if you have any...

Anyone know what the rim/tire setup is. Is it same offset + tire size as stock, only w/ 20s?

Chico · 07-23-2012, 08:30 PM

car looks good...but why is the front end so high?

My current MSport has a much smaller gap in the front.

VSmotorsports · 07-23-2012, 08:46 PM

congrats, that steering wheel looks great

Mr Goat · 07-23-2012, 11:40 PM

Anyone know if that steering wheel will be compatible with the US 335i?

Alen E90 · 07-23-2012, 11:56 PM

WOW, i didnt know the F30 M sport came out, but anyways she looks great, congrats and enjoy, btw i love the front end

Autobahner · 07-24-2012, 03:16 AM

It certainly is a beautiful car. Needs a bit of a drop to give it much more of an aggressive stance to show off that front end and wheels! Nice ride.

btw... I was just up in the Netherlands at Nijmegen to torture my legs and feet last week

Here is the information for BMW 373M wheels from a quick google search:

Front: 20x8.5" ET33
Rear: 20x9" ET44

If its oem 6 series sizes on that wheel which I believe it is the sizes are 245/35 front and 275/30 rears. I have 5/6 series wheels on my car and they are the exact same offsets and sizes as the 373m. Mine are 20" 356's.

FotiosF90M5 · 07-24-2012, 01:04 PM

one thing I dont like on my sizes are the tires are a bit too tall which makes the car appear higher. which it actually is.

bobert · 07-24-2012, 01:53 PM

I have a black F30 335i M Sport on a boat right now and no regrets but I certainly agree with many folks on this thread that say black tends to hide the lines of the M Sport bumpers - it's a little bit of a bummer. I do like Estoril Blue very much though I prefer really dark blues - at any rate, I'm only half of the car decision-making team, so black it is! Our car is due in port on 8/3. Oh, and I ordered the 19" wheels.

It will still be absolutely gorgeous in black. trust me.

bobert · 07-24-2012, 02:03 PM

I trust you - thanks! We've owned many black cars, so I am used to it hiding the lines somewhat - can't wait to see it in person!

Factoy Pilot · 08-30-2012, 04:14 PM

Keep it clean as you can- black is classy and sexy. Just ordered a 328i w/ M Pkg. Delivery in late Oct.
