First time posting, long time lurker. I traded in my 2012 X5 xDrive 50i for this beautiful 2015 335i GT. It's a completely different drive and I'm still getting used to it, however I just drove it up to Big Bear Mountain fully loaded with passengers and gear and didn't notice any struggle in the engine on the mountain roads.

I would like to blacken the chrome frame around the kidney grill and maybe powder coat the stock 19" wheels all black. Window tinting is happening next week. I don't want to modify it too much since this is a Lease.

Any thoughts/ suggestions?

Looks great. I thought about an F34, but in the end was happier with the F31. It's a lease too, and when I went in for delivery, the salesman actually recommended all the upgrades, tint, BMS, forged wheels, etc. He said none of that would be a problem. Every dealership is a little different, but a lot of them simply don't care/mind what mods you make as long as they're done professionally, and you don't go nuts. So far, I did a new car prep with xpel, and 35% ceramic tint. When it gets warm here in NYC, forged wheels and a Dinan tune are being applied.

Again, she looks great, and I'm sure you'll love her. Enjoy!

Congrats! Love the alpine white.

Congrats on the purchase. I love the GT versions and we do not see many on here.

Just an update: Tinted windows 25% rear, 35% sides
Next up: either new rims ( I love the 20 inch Stance 5 or 6 spokes in black) or powder coat the stock 19s in black. I found a well recommended guy locally who can do it for under $400.

I'm not planning on lowering it, although it seems that's a popular thing to do with the 3 series. This is a Lease. Im curios what 20 inch rims will look like on this....

Thanks, I saw your car early on while lurking and really liked the overall look. Did you end up getting the exhaust tips painted? the roof?

Thank you, Sir. I'll be painting the exhaust tips myself and got a quote for the roof. Hopefully, I'll be able to get them done next month. Will post pics up.

Btw, better get the paint armor installed fast, because mine already have a bunch of paint chips(tiny black spots) at the front area, they got dings too easily,even on the hood. !@#$...I was surprised how much it cost have my BMW service to fix it...
