Can't stop looking for more to do, but remap, ACS or Eibach springs and possibly wheels are definitely on the list…just need to make sure they don't poke as I just don't like that look myself.

Didn't like the huge M Performance roof spoiler so found this little lip extender which I think works but each to their own.

Cheers

Lovely colour. Hard to see the extender. Welcome

Thanks v.much……I've added a better picture of the lip.

Thought my days of 'modding' were done, but being a member on here is going to make me a poor man again !!

So many things I could do….😳🤪

Very nice F31 M Sport in Sunset Orange!

Anyone know of leads or willing to part with a 2016+ (LCI) f31 Msport - looking for estoril, alpine or black...black interior...saddle might work as well. 328/330i or 328d are all viable - thanks all!

I've had it listed for a 'pie in the sky' price for some time...got an offer I would be silly to walk from. Will have to see if it pans out. That being said, other than a grail 6MT M sport e91, I cant think of many other current vehicles in the price range I would want. M40i and X3M are fine...but not wagons. Contemplating just looking for EB or AW (or black again) and just rebuilding knowing what I know about the platform.

Cleaned and Sonax Spray and Seal.

Anyone with a 2018-19 have the S6WB digital cluster vs the analog speedo? I've seen it on 1-2 models for sale, but seems like some 2018's have it while 2019s do not...which doesnt make sense to me. Wonder if this was a box to check on the build sheet or something? I know with M2s, the 2018+ all have the digital cluster.

I think its part of the executive package, could be wrong - hopefully someone else confirms.

Correct 6WB was part of executive pkg. only comes on 18/19 year models

Beautiful! What are the specs? Looks Daytona violet in the light.

dogma · 11-06-2022, 08:08 PM

Yes, Daytona Violet 2017 328d xdrive. I have wanted it since I 1st saw it in the showroom back in 2017. My mechanic just swapped out the control arms for Vac Monoballs, the springs were replaced with MSS adjustable, the brakes are M Performance with Orange calipers, and the wheels are 20” style 624m staggered, but in the same configuration as OE.

I am 3rd owner, but first title holder other than BMW.

Had a 2011 335d MSport sedan and loved it, long road trip coming up.

More to come …

How does it ride on those 20's ? I think they are the best OEM BMW alloys and look amazing, and I know they are a direct fit with the same offset etc as standard on the F31, but I'm nervous the ride would be too harsh for a DD ?

Car looks epic by the way

erickonphoenix · 11-07-2022, 10:13 AM

Due to the loss of my tent in storage I had to convert Hanz to an RV for the SVRA event this weekend. Remarkably comfortable and stylish. Camp setup and break down time was dramatically reduced as well. I may need to revisit this next time.

The combination of the MSS and the non-runflat tires improved everything, ride included. I was worried also, but I wouldn’t mind 19” wheels either. The style 624 comes polished, or the bicolor finish these ones had. I wanted them to stand out more, and I hadn’t seen these painted silver before. My wheel guy was in favor of the paint also and I trust him.

JDAURIA · 11-08-2022, 10:42 AM

Congrats on picking up a special F31
