Picked up an F30 2 Weeks Ago

cshawkeye · 10-11-2015, 03:53 PM

After selling my M3 off to help pay for my wife's grad school. I ended up picking up a 2013 335i xdrive from a BMW CCA member in PA. I will get some pics in later tonight.

Ended up pocketing a bunch of cash and set in some modes so far:

1. MPPK
2. MPE
3. MPBK
4. Navigation Upgrade

Ended up getting it installed all for $1200 at Passport BMW. The only issue I had was the MPPK I bought off eBay was lost in transit and ended up buying it at the dealership. (Ended up offering it for the same discounted price I purchased online.)

Not sure what else I want to do on Mods but I wanted to keep it stock looking with some tasteful upgrades. Wanted to see what anyone else thinks I should focus on?

Congrats...looking forward to seeing the pics. Do you have the black kidney grilles, rear spoiler or rear diffuser?

Very nice.

How did you like Passport BMW? Ever dealt with any others around here? I'm not familiar with any BMW dealers around here, but I was planning on using BMW of Sterling as my first stop. But I want to go to the dealer who does the best deals on new and trade ins

I heard Sterling is good and its one of the BMW Nation Capital Chapters preferred location. They do every few months there the DIY workshop. Passport, Annapolis BMW, and I think Towson BMW are the other 3 in the area that do them.

I like Silver spring as well as my old service guy is now the service manager, but its a haul coming from Alexandria with the dreaded beltway traffic.

As for the car I have the CF spoiler (Came with the care when I got it.) Going to give it a nice bath tomorrow and take some pictures.

Congrats !!

MPPK doesnt do much. You should have gone right for the Dinan Stage 2 which delivers an 85 HP improvement over stock. Id look at some new springs to lower the ride height of the x drive car.

Congrats! Thinking of doing the same

On an xdrive, I would do the following:

Lowering springs (I felt h&r sport gave The perfect drop)
Spacers
Ebay replica m perf lip and rear diffuser and side skirt extension
Black kidney grills
Ind painted reflectors
Tint

(I'm a little biased as that's what I did haha! Except my car came with all the m perf goodies)

Btw what is mpbk?

I think MPBK = M Performance Big Brake Kit. getbmwparts has it on sale...
