Just figured I'd make a post and say hello, and see if anyone had any quick mod suggestions as I'm just starting out with the f30. Used to own a e90 335i, still getting used to the power drop but overall she's a beautiful car.

Currently looking at some gloss black grills to start ... then it's all down hill from there for my wallet lol.

2012 328i 6MT Luxury Line.

Only letting me attach one photo, strange anyway, also just did 20% tint.

Very nice!

Congrats on the move to F30.

Wow.. Rare.. A red Luxury Manual!
Way to go! Congrats on getting such a good deal and avoid the depreciation.

Is the power drop that significant???
Is the E90 modified or tuned?

My suggestions:
- lower suspension
- headlamps upgrade to xenon
- spacers or new wheels/tire pack

Keep us posted.

The new engine is definitely fun, especially in stick. That being said, the 335 definitely had quicker response. It just had DCI and was stock other than that.

I had a question about the suspension, can I go regular springs? I noticed this car seems to sit higher than a normal 3 series, is the suspension any different ? I need to do research I suppose. Probably won't go coils as I don't plan on tracking it.

Was also debating spacers and getting the wheels redone in a metallic grey, but need to think on it

And thank you !

Nice car, Congrats!

I have springs only and spacers and that gives a much better look to the car, how it should have been in the first place.

The mods i have make the car better, IMO.

Amazing, this will be next on my list then. Any recommendations for vendors?

Just adding onto the thread...

Did gloss black m3 grills, wrapped the mirrors (probably going to switch to gloss black vinyl once it gets here.. Window trim too.. ) and did a quick m-tech rear bumper mod + badge w/ dip. Also need to work on getting rid of the luxury chrome up front since it wont fit in once I do the windows...

I'm thinking springs next and wheels of some sort...the mod bug




Plus a bonus shot of the "beast" ;-) Who's perfectly fine just how she came.

we need more pics of that XM! ...
328 looks great with the black grills on trim man! .. i just got my set of the grills aswell! really means up the front end!

I'll need to do a photo shoot of the X5 M soon for sure...

So today I tackled one side of the trim vinyl - holy hell it is aggravating - I think for today I'll drive with only one side done, I'll just need to make sure everyone only sees one side of me haha.

I think I may do the wheels in anthracite grey and glossifier plastidip until I pull the trigger on a different set of wheels.... That would be a nice combo I imagine

Turned out nice I think though!
