First parts delivery!
UPS dropped off H&R springs and the M grills yesterday... Needless to say I wasted no time and put the grills in while it was pouring rain !
-Note: Took 15 minutes to do the grills, easy as any german car can be. Springs will be done asap.. But Im moving and starting a new job all within the next week so it may be a few weeks before I can find the time. I like the grills but I need the gloss black whiskers and the AW painted reflectors to call it a day up front. Update: **********s.com for both whiskers and reflectors. Link for reflectors: http://www.**********s.com/BMW-F30-P...-328i-335i.htm

This is why I feel Alpine White is the right choice...the Black grills IMO look the best on a white car.
I tried photoshopping it on a Mineral Grey and it didn't look good. I've seen the grills on black cars too and I didnt really like it... White with Black accessories FTW...

the boxster is a 97 with some upgrades, its a nice car and is wicked fun to throw into the corners but the 335 kills it with power... I haven't put good tires on the F30 yet so I can't really judge the grip...
there really is no substitute for the way a porsche drives though

under the DIY section I believe there is one, not a great one but its there...
-3 screws on the inside of the wheel well which pulls back the inner wheel well, then it pops out and then you need a new adhesive band to help stick the new reflector in and I think thats all there is to it... I am going to write one up when I install em

Love the M Grills on the cars above. Seems to me they would look good on a red Sportline as well.
