That's good! Mine did the same initially as well. I didn't really think about it at the time to mention to them.

Took F31 from mom for the day - noticed she'd been driving around on this for god knows how long. We've got some brand new RFT we'll put on for now. EC7 w/ AS3+ on order...

This panel keeps vibrating loose. Any tips other than glue? A gun fits nicely in there.

Foam tape to give it a tighter fit.

No they are reps, Which I dont recommend. I'll be changing wheels soon due to the back wheel becoming warped already after just 6 months, if you drive hard dont buy cheap wheels. I'll be buying OEM 437's or Forgestars, but as much as I love this wheel I may go with forgestar to stick with a similar offsets, Not a huge fan of OEM 437 offsets, thats why I went reps, A mistake I wont make again. but specs are 19x8.5 ET35 19x9.5 ET40 245/35-19 275/30-19.

+1 I have reps, they are garbage. I think it took 2 months to bend a rim in chicago. I've got oems on now for winter and i have no issues.

Gotcha yeah I agree - reps are bad news. I picked up 19x8.5 ET30 and 19x10 ET40 HRE FF01s - trying to decide on tire sizes

Kaceyjames · 02-07-2019, 03:59 PM

Dropped my car off today for some work...gave me 2019 430gc xdrive loaner and I'm trying to figure out why it feels properly faster than my 435i. I mean it pulls hard noticeably harder than my car. Granted I'm RwD but this thing moves

Having seat based replacement under warranty. Have this for the day.... drives nicely. MSport. No Sport + though. Smaller wheels than my car which give a softer ride... overall I like it!
Oh and you can play with the rear spoiler

Wait! play with the spoiler? As in mechanically outside or can you control it electronically from inside the cabin.

On the GT there is a button by the window switches (Bottom right) - the little wing on the boot lip goes up and down!

The interior is nice in there too. Apparently it's the on 330 GT in the dealers loaner pool!

krith · 02-08-2019, 02:47 PM

I pulled the trigger on some standard performance mods in December and everything finally arrived.

Wagner DP, ceramic coated at a local shop
ER Charge pipe
and the new Mishimoto FMIC

Some notes on the install -
The rear O2 sensor port on the Wagner DP for a 2015 435i is further back than stock which stretches the O2 wire right across the exhaust header. And the FMIC took a great deal of convincing to live in its new home ^_^

Over all Happy with the upgrades and a Stage 2 BM3 flash

Love that color combo! Wonder why...

The 3 GT is a great car IMO and never really got its due. Don't get me wrong I prefer the wagon and the sedan also handles better BUT in certain circumstances it's an excellent option.

GF is a realtor with adult clients in the back seat all the time and tons of crap to haul around. For someone like her the GT is a perfect choice.

mallorca328 · 02-09-2019, 06:16 AM

Catless downpipe installed
Got remus axleback and downpipe now.
Volume inside the cabin was just a bit louder, but if you hear it from the outside theres a good difference. Love the burbles and random bangs.
Tone seems to be the same.
Havent drived much so cant tell about drone.
