Was It You??
Ok, not sure how many UK F30 drivers are actually Forum members.
So thought I'd start up a wee thread for those of us who pass each other on the road etc etc...if this thread has already been started, apologies. Spotted today; Mineral White F30 Sport, parked in covered garage underneath Total Fitness gym in Altrincham. Opposite Atrincham Cinema. First time I've seen Mineral White in the flesh. Very nice |

Good call. We do this on the MPS owners forum since they're an extremely rare car. You'd be amazed how many times we spot a fellow member (if you'll excuse the expression!).

I'll throw another one in the pot then...
...was it you on the M1 southbound (South Yorkshire) last night (Sunday) at 9:15pm in a Silver 320d, registration starting BF62? Very nice car, I noted the pro nav system. I assume that was what you were playing with as you had your indicator left on for about 2 miles and veering around your lane quite a bit I assume you were busy playing with all the toys onboard - so forgiven in my mind. Enjoy. |

Saw my first F30 M Sport on the road today (that wasn't mine!)
Alpine White, 62 plate, about 2.40pm just at the cross roads at the Parrswood Cinema complex in Didsbury. Looking good in white! |

Today I saw two Alpine White F30s.
The first on the M32 coming from the M4 and turning off at J1 at about 6:30 this morning. This was a 12 plate. The second one was on the way to Bristol Ikea at lunchtime. This one a 62 plate. Seems to be the day for Alpine White F30s

M Sports or just F30's? There are plenty of F30's out there. I have learnt to distinguish F10's from F30's.....too similar from behind if you ask me.

M Sports.
I've seen a few F30's, mostly non-xenons, which I have to say look terrible. I've seen one non-M Sport with xenons and the lights looked great. Glad I could squeeze them and 19"s into my limited car allowance...

I have seen one M Sport out there in Estoril Blue but that was last Sunday.
F30s are still pretty scarce though although I think that will change over the next few months.

Well if you guys may see a Mineral Grey M Sport around; then it may be me. Stuck with the 18s (not too unhappy actually, i needed to compromise somewghere) so I could afford xenons, adaptive suspension and a couple small upgrades.

So far I've seen 8 different F30s around Nottinghamshire (not including mine obviously!) all in black, alpine white, or mineral grey.
All bar 1 were 320d - the other (black) was a 328i. Didn't see options particularly as driving at the time, but most appeared to be on 18s, with the 328 and a white on 19s. |
