(F30) Official ESTORIL BLUE II F30 Photo Thread
So on Saturday finally picked up my 2013 335i M sport which had been waiting at the dealership for me for 3 weeks. This replaces my 2010 535i and also have a 2012 X5 Sport Activity for cargo and a '99 Miata for fun.
Spec of car 335i M Sport RWD in EBII with black interior and 400M 18" wheels Aluminium Hexagon interior trim with Estoril Blue matte highlight trim finishers PACKAGES Cold Weather ZCW $950 Premium ZPP $2,200 Technology ZTP $3,100 Driver Assistance ZDA $1,900 OPTIONS Sport auto trans with shift paddles 2TB $500 Automatic high beams 5AC $250 Harman Kardon sound system 688 $875 TOTAL MSRP: $57,220 SALE PRICE: $53,715 (about $500 over invoice) Ended up adding wheel/tire protection insurance for another $1100 or so. Sequence of events: 23 June Placed order for car at BMW of Newton NJ. Said I wanted it for mid-September (family and travel reasons for delay). 30 June Finally got allocation from dealership in Florida for build, and production number from BMW. 10 July Start of production - received VIN - took approx 10 days Shipped to port at Germany and waiting at port for approx 10 days 1 Aug (approx) On ship Mellenius Fidelio from Germany to NJ 15 Aug Ship docks at port in NJ 20 Aug Car arrives at dealership two weeks earlier than I expected 14 Sep ASS programmed to remember last selection 15 Sep I finally see the car - WOW - first time seeing EBII in real life. Drive gently home. 17 Sep Currently at 350 miles of careful break-in driving in Eco-Pro and Comfort to keep revs down. One interesting item - I asked for all-season tires if possible as a slight preference over summer tires, but I wanted to keep the staggered layout (225/45 at front, 255/40 at rear). This cannot be done by the usual ordering process but my CA called BMW in Germany and said their computers could accept it. I wasn't sure if this would be handled correctly until the car arrived at the dealership and the sales manager confirmed over the phone the Continental all-season run-flats with the staggered layout. First Impressions during break-in period So nimble and fluid compared to my 535i Incredible steering wheel - worth a chunk of the $ for M Sport right here, perfect diameter, thickness and texture Amazing gadgetry - HUD much better than our X5, excellent auto high-beams, bright and clear cameras all-round, HK sound worth it Incredible fuel economy in Eco-Pro with gentle foot (30+ mpg) during break-in Wonderful seats - everyone should get the 3 series in Sport line or M Sport just for the fully adjustable seats (my 535 didn't have this but the X5 does) Very fast acting paddle-shifts (using to vary engine rpm on highways during break-in) Some Pics |

Very nice photos ! Love those 18" 400M wheels ! You can sure tell from the way this car sits that it is not a Xdrive.

Just got the wheels painted, Tint completed & Grills installed. Looks a little high in these pics, less so when my fat ass is in the car...
This is a fun car!

I really kind of surprised at the lack of EBII on Coral Red. Just placed my order a few days ago and am still waiting on allocation, but I'll be sure to post my pics in however many long painful weeks it takes for the car to get here!
