Can't wait to pick up F31

Freddie335 · 01-27-2019, 10:48 AM

Afternoon all.. complete newbie to the forum. Really excited about potentially picking up my F31 335d x drive next Saturday. I couldn't help myself, as already added M Performance kit and ACS springs to be fitted by dealer. Have some photos from the original listing which are pretty poor, but do show the extent of the ride height but thought be good use as comparison.

P.S. car is actually silver not white, to much lighting in the add.

Congratulations! Very nice car.

Freddie335 · 01-27-2019, 11:32 AM

Will get some photos posted when i get the car. Looking forward to seeing the difference with the MPK and the ACS springs. I am a little worried about front splitter clearance, but i think its worth it. 👍

Welcome. Looks very similar to my car only a 35d instead of a 30d.
Whats your spec like?

Freddie335 · 01-27-2019, 12:49 PM

Thank you. It's got quite a decent spec, will be using it so business so wanted a bit of a travelling office. In summary:

M Sport + package
Professional Multimedia
Reversing Cameras
Heated front seats
Apple preparation thing.

Plus as advised added M performance kit and ACS based on reviews etc and went to see Lorcan on Friday and test drove his demo. Mighty impressive. Just wished I could afford the damper upgrade.

You enjoying your 330d?

dizzy619 · 01-27-2019, 12:59 PM

Congrats get them pics up asap

LogosGil · 01-27-2019, 01:08 PM

Very nice..though I’d say that cos I’ve got one.
Mine is also for business use,plenty of room being a tourer,I find the mpg quite good to,but it’s starts to lower from the enjoyment of overtaking.

335d Rocco · 01-27-2019, 01:26 PM

Very nice, I’ll be interested to see how it looks with the M performance kit on. I got my F31 335d last month, I’ve also gone down the ACS route & am pleased with the results.

Freddie335 · 01-27-2019, 01:39 PM

Glad you guys are enjoying yours. I wanted something that had a balance of performance and practicality as I have two kids and dog.

I am also a bit of a petrol head at heart, so wanted to have something that looked a bit different, so decided the cost of the M performance kit was worth it, albeit still rather expensive.

Fingers crossed will get some pics up at the weekend, as plan to collect sat.

Freddie335 · 01-27-2019, 01:52 PM

Glad the feedback on the ACS springs are so positive. Just really hope the front lip doesn't scrap too much. Fingers crossed. 🤪👍

SkyJawa · 01-27-2019, 02:12 PM

Be very careful in multi storey car parks, there’s been several I’ve been in and my splitter scrapes, and be careful of kerbs parking front in. Mines on standard 335d suspension!

Freddie335 · 01-27-2019, 02:18 PM

Oh no, if your scrapes on standard better be very careful. I do think I am just going to have to expect that it will scrape.

Thanks for the heads up though. I have been thinking long and hard whether to ditch the splitter, but I think it completely transforms the front.

Sorry, had to!

LoL 😂 happy to be corrected.

Welcome Freddie335 - nice looking car, will be even better with the kit on.

Only had my 330d a couple of months and still finding excuses to go out and drive it. ACS springs is my next update I think so will be good to see the difference it makes to yours.

My only tip would be reverse into parking spaces everywhere you go from now on. Scraped the underside of my splitter a few days in, lesson learned!

Freddie335 · 01-28-2019, 03:26 PM

Thanks very much for the welcome Gfunk. Appreciate the word of advice on parking spaces.

Really looking forward to picking it up. I do think the MPK will transform the overall look.

Will get some photos up asap. I have asked the dealer to add the front splitter last, just in order to check clearance after springs, as i am a little worried.

I do think i will be adding the ACS dampers when funds permit. As i was really impressedwith the ACS demonstrator I recently test drove. 👍
