Canadian F31 Picture Thread

seems to be one EB II in each city so far :P

We need to set a quota. Won't be many F31 in Edmonton over Calgary. YYC just has way more taste in cool cars.

Everyone here just buys an $80k truck.

endless402 · 06-30-2013, 02:36 PM

Anyone notice that their idrive knob gets warm? My older f30 doesn't but the f31 does...

canbmw · 07-02-2013, 09:47 PM

I can't say I have noticed that.

sparkyg · 07-15-2013, 06:09 PM

Ordered my F31 with MSport. Should be here in early September. Week 31 Production I think.

canbmw · 07-15-2013, 08:28 PM

Nice. What other options did you order?

how difficult was the grill install? did you have to unscrew the bumper as per the DIY thread?

Dealer did it for me when it was in for the roof rail replacement so I cannot comment on the method. I was told it was 15 minutes per side.

In short, all of them. Incl HUD, Variable sport steering, all package options and 8TH option for Speed Limit info that strangely comes as an option on the 335 but not the 328.

Didnt de-badge the car though.

Same MSport in EBII as everyone else.

I am ordering the painted reflectors from IND too and the MSport grills.

Believe me, over here, a lot of people stare because they think you're a big shot driving a BMW. Comments fly left & right regarding my car, but their pick-up truck or silly-ass SUV costs more than my car... sheesh.

I know how you feel, but on the flip side, you're guaranteed to have an almost exclusive car

BTW, this is supposed to be a picture thread, where are all the (new) pics?!

endless402 · 07-23-2013, 10:02 PM

^ waiting for yours!

I changed the grills myself today to the black m performance ones...took 5 min with no tools, pretty easy stuff...but I sort of like the chrome ones still.
maybe it will grow on me.

anyone tint their windows yet?

I am gonna tint the back 7 with 3M Crystalline. Shadow Tint in YYC about $650.

Gonna do Aquapel too.

Noticed this issue the last few times I had an extended drive with the SAT radio playing. Not sure if it related to SAT radio or not. More testing this weekend.

Maybe there's power running through it since we don't have a touchpad.

I wonder if we can retrofit the touchpad

Loving the F31... I wonder why wagons are much more popular in Europe compared to NA.

I am getting my F31 this Friday. I'll post of some pics of the new girl.

Another EB II but prob the only F31 in Edmonton in that colour.

frankc201106 · 09-22-2013, 03:12 PM

Doesn't look good at all in my opinion.
