Car looks epic by the way

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.

Just beautiful! Let's see some full sun pics to so that DV shines!!! Congrats on a special wagon!

Just sold my 513m's. 400m's for now until the new wheels come. Stay tuned..

Congrats on this special ride! Didn't expect Daytona Violet working so well with F31.
Window tint + reflector delete and it's already perfect!

Looking forward to your roadtrip stories with this beauty. 💜

It is. If you or anyone is aware of another Daytona Violet f31 in the US I would be very interested to see photos.

I have held a desire for this exact car since I saw it while driving by the dealership that had ordered it in this configuration. And again when they listed it for sale after its initial lease expired. The timing of the auction was perfect for me. I am 600 miles plus into a road trip with it right now on my brand new upgrades and I couldn’t be happier.

Probably all on 1 tank of diesel too!

Very cool and rare Individual F31 brochacho. That's gotta be a one of one and I ain't talking color combos or other baloney. Let's get some better shots in full sun and let that purp shine mayn.

Love me some grand daddy purp you feel me?!

Better photo locations starting tomorrow.

I have been holding off on the MPerformance Rear Diffuser for almost a year now, you guys aren't making it easy whenever I see them!

Onizukachan · 11-14-2022, 12:44 PM

$90 for the Ikon, $5-10 for one or two cans of spray paint depending on if you want it matte black or color matched or both, $100 all in.

I wouldn’t however do it unless you have a lip already as it make the ca4 look unbalanced to me. At least it did till I got a lip!

rsevn · 11-20-2022, 03:45 PM

spotted this F31 a bit ago had to park my E91 right next to it. two different blue BMW colors, mine is deep sea blue. Anyone know what color the F31 is?

Hard to tell without seeing in person. Doesn’t seem to be metallic nor the hue of estoril…almost looks flat but not green enough to be LSB. To me, almost looks like Audi nogaro blue tbh…which is strange to have an individual color if it’s not even a M sport.

Moupe · 11-20-2022, 06:37 PM

Yeah, strange to not check the M Sport box if paying a hefty premium for an individual color. Regardless, it could be an individual color as people do all sorts of things or it could just be a wrap.

It sort of resembles BMWs Pure Blue Individual:

I thought Leguna Seca blue too. It's a diesel too. Could actually be Santorini blue

I have a deep sea blue E93. Great colour.

Certainly does look similar to my pure blue car posted above!

I appreciate the GB sticker myself being British! The pure blue looks like it could be it the UK car you found looks very similar.

The pic that Moupe posted is also my car (just in its state before I modified it).

The GB sticker is now obsolete and post Brexit we should now be using UK instead of GB. It’s a remnant of a trip into Europe about 3.5 years ago when I drove to Holland (via the Ferry).

As an ex pat I'm good with GB or Uk either way…. But during the World Cup I am all English!

Didn't want my first mod/maintenance item to be new wheels and tires, but got impatient 😂 New 255/40/18 Michelin Pilot Sport 4 A/S mounted on square 513ms!

Will be tackling front/rear Diff fluid, transmission fluid and transfer case fluid this Saturday!
Do I need to monitor trans oil temp when doing the second fill after going through gears?

Twins! Looks great

I recently did all those fluid services as well, transfer case service was a bit finicky with having to remove/lower the cross-member brace. Don't forget to reset adaptations. Other services were a breeze.

Shadowmanrider · 12-02-2022, 07:48 AM

After to-ing and fro-ing for ages, finally got the Eibach pro-kit fitted and wish I'd done it ages ago.

She looks better and handles better……win-win !!
