radicalRev Black Sapphire Metallic F30 Build

radicalrev · 11-14-2020, 11:20 AM

Hello BimmerPost!

I wanted to keep track of how the car progress as time passes so here goes nothing.

Initially I had a pretty bad experience with the F30 having bought a used 320i N20 earlier this year but the engine took a dump only at KM18,000. Rebuilt the engine and traded the car for the newer 320i LCI B48 Sportline model. Hoping this time, it will last me a couple of years, not months like the previous one.

As this will be my daily driver in the crazy hectic traffic condition of Jakarta, I will keep the mods simple, nothing too crazy and to achieve the OEM+ look.

Here are the first photos I took after purchasing the car:

How wide are your rear wheels? 9.5"?

bellguy · 01-07-2021, 03:12 PM

This has come a long way in a short time frame, looking extremely good.

Yes the wheels are 9.5" wide, will be swapping them out with an oem 437M next week though.

radicalrev · 02-01-2021, 07:47 AM

Installed the CF PSM style high-kick spoiler + switched the replica 437M wheels to the OEM 437M (Not sure if anyone can spot the difference, but it was obvious to me)
