F30 335 Xi New owner

12eight · 03-02-2013, 11:03 PM

Sold my Sti for my 335 xi EBII. Msport brakes and Msport Exhaust & Dynamic Handling.

1. Removed amber bulbs for chrome/amber bulbs.

Did you get DHP? Not sure you will be happy with your body roll without the Sport suspension...though the STI rolls a bit too.

Great build!

Only downer is the all seasons. But if you were planning on throwing on 19s then it doesn't matter. I don't think you will miss the lower top speed lol.

How are you liking those m sport brakes? Still trying to decide if I want them, not sure if they are worth 80 more a month.

pics are too big... but nice looking

Some updates.
1. IND Reflector deletes front and back
2. Removed Emblems
3. UnderGround Graphics LED reverse light. Still not as bright as I would expect but think this might be due to the Reverse Light lens is so small.

I am looking into the Msport Carbon Spolier the BMW PPK and a set of 19 in wheels. Maybe the Avant Garde M359. Anyone have any suggestions.

Wow love the pics!

Be careful of the M359 AG wheels they are pretty aggressive on our f30's. I had them and sold them. The19x10et38 rears are really aggressive. Enjoy, awesome build BTW.

Everyone keeps putting those black grilles, imo they dont go w the rims unless the rims are dark, without dark rims they just look out of place

J-boogey · 04-07-2013, 03:48 PM

loving the brakes!

I will say they look great but I am not without problems. The brakes are very soft. Sometimes to the point that you have to press the pedal halfway before you get a bite (feeling of braking to begin) and the brakes make a high pitched shutter/locus sound (only way I can describe it) at speed. Dealer said the BBS brakes cause a soft pedal ( owned a 05 & 11 Sti with BBS never had this issue) and the sound has gotten louder and worse since the dealer looked at it. They blame the e-brake rubbing or engaging causing the sound. I am very disappointed to say the least.

did you check to see if the reverse light flickers when you are starting the car and also randomly while driving. i had to code the car so that it wont check for error.

Yes they do flicker on startup. I not sure if they do it while driving but I did notice at the car wash that they did flicker but was so fast I almost thought my mind was playing tricks on me.

Agreed, I think stock looks better with silver wheels.

yeah then they do... you need to code it to prevent it. Mine flickered on the freeway during an hour drive randomly. lucky my friend was following me thats how i knew.

12eight, I have seen you around!

I am on the Rye/Harrison border.

Currently drive a 2011, manual e90 328i M sport, black sapphire on oyster with OEM black grilles, carbon diffuser, carbon trunk lip, black deflectors and 20% tint.

Thinking about hopping in an f30. How do you like it so far?
