Smile Waiting on my M Sport

I finally bit the bullet and ordered a 328i M Sport on July 20. Looks like it will be made at the end of the first week in September. I was originally told it was scheduled for August production but seems there have been some parts delays.

Estoril Blue with Coral Red Dakota Leather & 19 " wheels

Can't wait - delivery will probably be November

Blue - Red Colour combo

I wanted a red interior and when I saw Estoril Blue I fell in love with it. I initially was in two minds about the combo but when I looked at the clour swatches at my BMW dealer, the Estoril Blue, Coral Red and hexagon Aluminium trim just looked great together so I went ahead and ordered it.

I am also getting the windows tinted so that will add an extra dimension to it.

Just have to wait for the baby to arrive.........

it really angers me that the three series has regular halogen bulbs on the rear tailights. I hate how bmw uses the lci system, I want all the nice leds that my lci e90 had. Life cycle infusion means you ADD features half cycle. not take them away every time a new model comes out to add them back again!

2NH M Sport Brakes:
Front: 4-piston aluminum fixed-caliper brakes. 18", lightweight brake discs with interior ventilation and aluminum brake bowl. Brake calipers painted (blue), with M badge

Rear: 2-piston aluminum fixed-caliper brakes. 18", lightweight brake discs with interior ventilation and aluminum brake bowl. Brake calipers painted (blue), with M badge

Base 328i has single piston floating calipers on all four wheels. Base 335i has 4 piston fixed calipers up front and single piston floating calipers in the rear.

F30 328i - F 12.3" / R 11.8" | M Sport - F 13.4" / R 13.6"
F30 335i - F 13.4 / TBD | M Sport F 14.6" / 13.6")

EU/ROW spec, M-sport brakes (option code 2NH) are a factory-fitted option only available for cars with M Sport package and are identical to M-performance brakes (a dealer fit item from M-performance range), with two exceptions: Colour coded in blue instead of a choice of 4 colours for the M-performance version. Plain rotors instead of the slotted and grooved discs that come with the M-performance version. The discs are interchangeable between the two types of brakes as they are of the same size & same caliper design.

For US/CDN-spec, there are two types of M Sport brakes. The 335i M Sport, option 2NH is the same as EU/ROW-spec. The 328i M Sport, option 2NH means front calipers from a standard 335i (but with EU/ROW pads) and the calipers are in blue with M logo instead of the unpainted silver. Rear calipers are same as US/EU/ROW.
Thanks for that very handy just what i was looking for

Can't get 19" wheels on US-spec 328i, not even M Sport Line.

Hey look my Banishment is over, just in time to get my 335i M sport. Not that I'll give any helpful advice on this forum. But hey I can at least look without getting a nasty message "you've been banned for being honest" or something like that

the 19's can be added as dealer option IIRC to a 328i. I could be wrong though, as I have a 335i. But yeah, no cloth in the USA. Oh crap, that was helpful. ignore that.

You are very incorrect sir. You can order the 19" rims, two tone, with the M-port 328i. People, get your facts straight before you post and confuse members that are not in the know. Thank you.

Where do you get these "facts" from?

BMW USA online config, MY2013 Ordering Guide and MY2013 Pricing Guide all show only the 335 models available with 19" wheels

This is definitely true on the USA configurator thingy. No 19" option unless you've got a 335i

I thought I would be able to see the power figures on the screen seeing as I have an M-Sport, but alas it seems not because I have the standard screen/I-drive.

Wow, Estoril Blue with Coral red !!!! Your are brave ! I hope you are leasing your car and not purchasing it ! This colour combo would diminish the value of your car by several thousands $$$$ when it comes time to trade it in.
If you are really set on Coral red, may I suggest that you go with Alpine white, Mineral Grey or BSM.
