Growing of my F30 328i
My F30 328i runs 4000km starting from May. Below is my little modification of my baby
TMC Chipbox (up to 295bhp) - Performance is improved quite a lot in COMFORT Mode at high rpm. Not much difference in Sport+ mode. To compare with other car, it is almost the same acceleration with E46 M3 (6MT) Rota IKR rims (F: 8.5j offset 30, R:9.5j offset 35) Ferderal 595EVO (225/40/19, 255/35/19) - Dry performance is acceptable but it is shxt in wet... AP 7040 6 pot, 355mm AP brake disc, Mintex Xtreme Brake pad - Stock brake is not enough to stop, AP 7040 is much much better then stock brake kit. Brake balance is fine even though rear is stock. But I will upgrade to AP 4 pot later. H&R Sport Spring - Stock suspension is very very soft and high. The car is not stable when high speed (approx. 235km/h). After install H&R Spring, the outlook is much more better and handling is improved a lot in conerning. Of course, coilover is my final destination. Plastidip front grill - Easy job for everyone. Cheap $ and suitable for lazy boy. Smoky headlight - Sticker with smoky color. Looks more sporty. Tinted window |

Your car looks great, but Rota wheels with Volk stickers? Seriously? Might as well throw some M3 badges on while you're at it and go into full poser mode. Tremendous fail there.

Rota wheels = great, fine, just dandy.
Trying to pass your Rotas off as Volks = poser, rice, fail.

The car looks nice, I just think that trying to pass the Rota's as Volks is a bit lame. No offense intended. As long as you're happy, that's what counts I guess.
