Growing of my F30 328i

rayzoe1306 · 08-01-2012, 12:54 AM

My F30 328i runs 4000km starting from May. Below is my little modification of my baby

TMC Chipbox (up to 295bhp)
- Performance is improved quite a lot in COMFORT Mode at high rpm. Not much difference in Sport+ mode. To compare with other car, it is almost the same acceleration with E46 M3 (6MT)

Rota IKR rims (F: 8.5j offset 30, R:9.5j offset 35)

Ferderal 595EVO (225/40/19, 255/35/19)
- Dry performance is acceptable but it is shxt in wet...

AP 7040 6 pot, 355mm AP brake disc, Mintex Xtreme Brake pad
- Stock brake is not enough to stop, AP 7040 is much much better then stock brake kit. Brake balance is fine even though rear is stock. But I will upgrade to AP 4 pot later.

H&R Sport Spring
- Stock suspension is very very soft and high. The car is not stable when high speed (approx. 235km/h). After install H&R Spring, the outlook is much more better and handling is improved a lot in conerning. Of course, coilover is my final destination.

Plastidip front grill
- Easy job for everyone. Cheap $ and suitable for lazy boy.

Smoky headlight
- Sticker with smoky color. Looks more sporty.

Tinted window

if that the real TE37 then it's all good

but if that is a Rota

HebbNH · 08-01-2012, 12:34 PM

Your car looks great, but Rota wheels with Volk stickers? Seriously? Might as well throw some M3 badges on while you're at it and go into full poser mode. Tremendous fail there.

rayzoe1306 · 08-01-2012, 08:29 PM

This is rota too

HebbNH · 08-02-2012, 10:43 AM

Rota wheels = great, fine, just dandy.
Trying to pass your Rotas off as Volks = poser, rice, fail.

My friend's 1M euipped with LE37 but tear off the sticker, may be he tries to pass volks off as rota lol

HebbNH · 08-02-2012, 12:50 PM

Yeah, I'm sure that's exactly what he was going for.

The car looks nice, I just think that trying to pass the Rota's as Volks is a bit lame. No offense intended. As long as you're happy, that's what counts I guess.

Can you post more pics of your rear wheels in relation with the fender. Just wondering how flush it is for 9.5 ET35. Any rubbing?

No rubbing even I have installed H&R lower spring

I am wondering why some F30 owner suggest to install with ET40 or even more.
