Thank you, my wife suggested the estoril blue over the mineral gray, I've got to say she was right!

Encouraging comments on the VSS, is this your 1st F30? I was wondering how it compares to an earlier model.

Thank you, the six is by all measures an impressive car and will obliterate anything in its class in just about every way. My comments are truly splitting hairs between the six/four. Now, the six does have the MPPK option where 328 owners have to look at the aftermarket for tuning. A downside imo..

The VSS is supposed to be updated or different for the 2016 model year. The only experience I have with VSS us from the 2015 I test drove. I didn't notice a huge difference, but then again I've never had an F30 before. I do not notice any noise, nor can I notice the variances in the gearing . It's pretty fluid in comfort mode, while the sport modes provide more feedback. That's about as technical I can get with less than a week behind the wheel haha

Agreed! I was pretty happy about it to say the least, the LED are truly impressive at night

The 18 wheels look like they belong on a different car, it makes the F30 look unfinished in my opinion. BMW should offer multiple options even for those who get a 328 with the track performance package. Since they don't, I made my own package lol

Looking good with the 442s on there, can't wait to see my 340 EB on 442s in Munich next month. How's the ride on those?

The ride depends on the tires you chose, I ended up getting a great wheel\tire deal but I had to go with runflat summer tires in order to get the pricing i was looking for. The runflats are notoriously harsh because of the stiff sidewalls. To answer your question, the ride is very good, however it could be improved by using non-runflat performance tires like michelin pilot super sports or something similar. Next time, i'll definitely be getting something other than runflats. Keep in mind im just splitting hairs here. Its still the best handling\riding car in the segment IMO.

Here are a couple cell phone pictures of the LED's and the LCI brake lights.

[fusion0389]

I dug some more pictures out of the phone. Started off with the car on the lift prior to delivery getting the style 442 wheel swap

[fusion0389]

These are the last few pictures i've got, i swear this car\color combo doesnt have a bad angle! These pics were taken at the dealer before i drove it off the lot. The last picture is where I left it to get Paint Protection and Window Tint. The Owner's name is Brian over at SunTinting in Roswell, GA. He is meticulous and a fellow BMW enthusiast\owner. I usually drool a little when I see his M5...

Congrats! Car looks great!

Since the LED's came with it as a no-cost factory option, i personally couldnt justify the cost, just my opinion though. The wife thought it was a worthwhile feature, so we got it on her X3.

So, here's the skinny....LEDs are not standard on the 328. They are part of the premium package. Adaptive LEDs are an $800 option on both the 328 and the 340.

Non-adaptive LEDs are now part of the premium package on the 328, but leather is not. It is now only a stand alone option.

[bahasad]

A couple of power mods and any gap between the 328I and 335I stock, will be diminished. All with the advantage of less weight over the front.

[Pauleebe]

Looks awesome! More or less the 328 I would have ordered.

[BDWonder]

congrats dude! awesome color combo! You got the best looking car in the driveway in your community, as I see!

Thank you for the correction, in the back of my mind i knew LED was part of premium package it just didnt make it out on to my keyboard haha.

I opted out of the leather. Initially i was worried about the feel and look of the sensatec, but after taking delivery i have a very difficult time telling the difference between the black nevada leater in my wifes X3 and the black sensatec in my 328. With all that being said, im glad that BMW packaged it this way because it saved me around $1000 dollars (if i remember correctly) by going sensatec.

so if we want the xenon headlights on new BMWs, we can no longer order them? LED's are now standard??? I love xenons!!!

I had the same thought process, IF i do anything it'll be the dinan tune. The weight\balance is truly the reason I bought this car. Its a seriously BA daily driver, Eco Pro will easily get me 34mpg+ on the highway while still being able to effortlessly pass most of the cars on the road.

Great minds think alike

I'd have to look up the ordering guide and look. To be honest I felt the same way when i ordered my car. From the keyboard, i wasnt a fan of the LED's. However after taking delivery and experiencing both the aesthetic and functional aspects of the LED's i've gotta say im very happy i got LED. My wife got xenons on her X3 and is jealous of my LEDs..

I second that request.

Edit: OOPS--done.

Nice!

[SleevedCoyote]

I dont know what this ruckus is about the LCI taillights not looking good, personally I think they look much better than the pre-LCI taillights.

Congrats on the car

Congratulations!!
