Hi guys !

Maybe not as outstanding as many of yours, but I finally got my F30 (2014 335 xDrive in AlpineWhite with Premium+MPkg+Sport).

I only changed the tires on it to put squared Firestone Firehawk Indy500 245/40/18. Looks a bit nicer with fatter tires

Wasn't sure about white when I started shopping around. But the colour grew on me and I really like it now. Now, we'll see how much effort it requires to keep it clean and nice.

Not new, but compared to my 2006 E90, it feels brand new ! haha !

The worst thing is I cannot drive it too much right now. The dealer noticed there is a cracked joint cover in front and is leaking. Frustrating to being able to drive it more ! hahahaha !

I'll post some pictures.

Congrats! Hopefully you can get it repaired soon and really enjoy it.

How will you ever tell the missus she's been demoted to second place?

Congrats!

Nice! Seems odd that they didn't check that before giving you the car..

There are a ton of scenarios where the dealers don't properly perform the qc prior to delivery.

Unfortunately very common.

T&C and Newmarket have a good history for misses.

Thanks guys !

Yeah, I cannot really enjoy long drives (even less pushing the car) until it is fixed. I'm scheduled Monday though. They noticed it when changing the tires (that needed to be changed as they were way too worn out). Would have been nice to notice it earlier indeed. At least, it's going to be fixed free of charge.

So far the Miss being replaced is not behaving on me. Except a little hesitant start this morning LOL !!!

I must admit that moving from one to the other is a bit disconcerting. Sooooo different driving dynamics, position, height, vision (lower engin bay), etc... Still like the E90, harsher and smaller feeling about it. But the F30 is such a charm, powerful ... and almost new lol !!

Congrats on the purchase. Looks very familiar.

You got a similar one ? Mine is not all that out of norm. But just enough for me. White is growing on me I must admit. Was reluctant at first (so many on the road), but it does look nice.

Thanks !

Yep, very similar. This was what it started as:

Today, the mirror caps and grills are different, along with a front lip and rear diffuser. All just minor changes. And you're right: the white does grow on you after a while and especially after a wash.

Very nice indeed ! Got the HUB hey ? Tried it on one test drive and also almost bought a 528 having it. This one does not have it. But, I dont really mind. Already much more equipped gadget-wise than my E90.

Personally, I dont expect doing much changes to it. Besides painting the breaks and maybe some spacers (but not really sure about those).
