Get the track pack wheels and swap out for something like this....
If this is yours, how do like the 20's? If we buy out our F31, I want to put the 19's version on.

I love these wheels they really suit an F31 - I had them on my F30 before then. I've done 50k miles on the two cars with the 20" wheels and only had 1 split tire - a Pirelli runflat and therefore got rid of them after 10k miles and put lighter non-run flat Michelin PSS. Made a big difference
A pig to clean but matches the MG color really well.

Also the 20" BMW wheel is lighter than the 18" and 19" wheels offered on the F30/F31/F32

Roads here in the Carolinas are not that bad (do a lot of interstate driving) so never really complained about the comfort -

I dont think the comfort changed that much when I installed the ACS springs. Springs helped definately improved the stance and reduced roll.

Awesome thank you. I'm trying to collect as much data as I can. These things have really grown on me, but I drive in the NYC area and I know it will just be a matter of time before they get cracked, so I'm waiting until we decide to buy this out or turn it in.

Funny you mention the ACS springs. I had looked into the Dinan springs and shockware and they had recommended against them for the F31 and said to get the ACS springs, so that will be the other mod when we get to that point.

Cheers!

Mjordan - did you order yet?

Other owners do you have the rear mat? Thinking of ordering the BMW or Weathertech one, but wanted to know the fit on the BMW one first... photos below.

Thanks.

Weather tech does a really good job on there mats as far as fitting is censored. I had one in a blazer before (yes been a while) and I do remember it having a bit of a slick surface, stuff would slide everywhere. Also more plastic feel much less flexible. Not sure if they have changed any but when I bought a mat for my wife's Venza I got a Toyota rubber mat with deep groves and a nice gripping surface.

I have this same mat (took it from my F30) - it doesnt really cover the whole area in the back, next time I'd probably get the weather tech

Order complete

Just ordered my F31. Went with Alpine white with black Dakota leather & oyster highlights. Also got dealer to agree to switch 398 Orbit gray wheels for 441 ferric gray ones. With windows tinted to 20% I think it will look sweet.

Looking forward to driving it. They said it should be there by the end of February but that would surprise the crap out of me

Congrats... I look forward to seeing it posted.

You pulled my car up as an example- just got it on the 12th! I think my tints are 30...

Thanks. My concern is the fit if it will go in the F30 trunk and F31.... I had Weathertech floorliners in my Subaru which were great and now in wife's Legacy.

I suspect I'll pay extra and get the Weathertech if I pull the trigger.

Yes, that was the one... I put a quick deposit on it after asking the forum for advice! I'm pretty close to the dealer so got lucky.

My SA told me that someone called about it the day I picked it up! Sorry!

Thanks, sounds like you will be enjoying yours soon enough. The history on this on is a corporate car in Nevada... so nice mileage etc... I wish it had the Cold Weather living in PA but no big deal... warms up soon enough.

Good job with the ferric grey 441m's. dark enough to hide some brake dust but not so dark that you can't see detail. they are lightest and IMO nicest of the 18" F-wheels.

One dealer wanted $750 to switch out but got a feeling they will put on another car and up charge, they will come out fine.

Lol I have an Alpine White 328xd and I picked up a set of grey 441 wheels from a forum member few days ago. Debating if I want to get a set of winter tires to put on the stock wheels or keep the Conti all seasons

Love those wheels!!!!
It was a deal breaker for me. The 398 orbit gray is just to dark and just don't like the design as much as the 441's
