Hey guys. Just picked up a 2014 328i with 29k on it. Off lease from San Francisco.

Trying to figure out what trim level I have but having difficulty.

I know it's not a Sport and I believe the Luxury line came with chrome window surround, which I do not have. That leads me to believe I have the Comfort trim with a bunch of options?

Anyways... only thing I've purchased/changed so far would be WeatherTech mats... probably get a light tint very soon...

Was wondering what other simple mods are recommended first? Assuming there is an intake and front/rear sways that would be simple/cheap enough? What about a strut tower brace?

Looking to stay with all BMW factory parts if possible.

Thanks.

I know, you're right. I was being lazy!

Anyone know of a site that sells factory performance parts and or Dinan, etc at reasonable prices?

New to the game.

Many BMW dealerships have internet sales departments that offer discounts over the counter sales prices. Check the websites of your locals. Here in the DC area we have getbmwparts.com, mybimmerparts.com, and realbimmerparts.com, for example. Score BMW in Newport Beach has a similar "store" - https://scorebmwparts.com/partlocato...?siteid=218743

Thanks. I truly appreciate your response. I'll definitely check those sites and hopefully find something similar in my area to save on shipping.
