Opinion - a "track edition" 2016 328i

SoDiezl350 · 03-30-2016, 07:54 PM

Congrats! I actually voted do it so now I feel vindicated haha. If i was to recommend one thing it'd be to put an xpel wrap on the front as these cars have very fragile paint.

I took delivery tonight
Will post photos tomorrow

Put a little over 50 miles on it already
Picked up the car in Glendale
Drove to century city through some bad downtown traffic ...
took my friends for a ride around the 405 and century city
Then back to Glendale
Enjoying the car .. can't wait to really get on it after a few more moderate miles

I need to learn how to use all the gadgets in the car and set up the little things
Not that I even have any of the fancy stuff since I did not get the tech package
But I am coming from a 2001 e46 325i so .. even having Bluetooth in the car is new to me

here she is
2016 BMW 328i
the elusive estoril blue + orbit grey style 398 wheel combo (i had such a hard time finding a photo of this combo online)

sexy halogens! :eeps:

first mod lol
cell phone holder

next - i need a new cellphone with a better camera

Spring for the premium pkg. Aftermarket xenons will cost almost as much as the whole pkg and not be as good. Personally, I wouldn't have black vinyl.

XKxRome0ox · 03-31-2016, 02:58 PM

testing sig

Congrats. I have been undecided about those wheels, as they don't look great on all colors, but they look great on that blue.

My 135i was LeMans blue and some days I miss it. That color was nice.

XKxRome0ox · 03-31-2016, 05:32 PM

thank you all
the wheels are actually growing on me

needs a little bit of a drop + tint and it should look much better

XKxRome0ox · 10-12-2017, 07:24 PM

i forgot that i had made this thread in the beginning
haha
so it has been 18 months since i got my car
it's gone through a few mild mods
but the biggest bang for the buck was the headlight change
got the aftermarket headlight with angel eyes, uses stock H7 bulb holders

ebay front splitters and rear spoiler

and added HID kit

Injen intake
M Performance exhaust
swapped my wheels to Apex ARC-8, 18x8.5 square set up
+ Dinan shockware installed

next up would be a drop
probably go with Dinan springs

Love it looks great. Need to see more nicely tuned 328?s on here!

Calvin36 · 10-12-2017, 11:57 PM

I vote no. Just wait for the correctly optioned one that you really like so you don't ever regret.
