New Member with a 330D M Sport
Hi everyone,
I'm new here so just introducing the car, 330D M Sport with the M Performance Aero Kit recently installed. Have had the car about 7 weeks now, obviously loving it, nearly went for a 5 Series as I felt the need to change from coupe to saloon but in the end thought the 5 may be a bit too big for me to bimble around in. Anyway seeing as the F30 is larger than the E9x series it's more than big enough for us. Can't fault anything so far, really happy with it, my last car was good (E92 M Sport Highline) but this feels just that bit better to drive, especially the technology! (and the gearbox etc...) I initially budgeted for a 535D M Sport so the cash I saved got a few extras including: Alpine White with mostly Black Interior M Sport Package Sport Auto Transmission Pro Media Package Visibility Package Internet Browser Enhanced Bluetooth, USB & Voice Control Harman/Kardon Head-up Display Mirrors - folding, auto dimming Sun Protection Sliding Armrest Rear Folding Head Restraints Elec Fr Seats, Lumbar with Memory Seat Heating M Sport Braking Reverse Camera M Performance Aero Kit M Performance Grills M Performance CF Spoiler Anyway hope it looks good so far, not sure what else can be added other than bigger alloys but that can wait for now. (I think)

Nice looking car... I'd keep those wheels, I think the Performance 20" wheels look too big personally.

Lovely purposeful look. I imagine most things move over for you

To be honest I can't remember why I added that, I think it was a freebie upgrade at the time, however I tend to mess with the Idrive a lot and found it supports your left arm better if you slide it all the way forward whilst operating the controller

Lovely car and drives as good as it looks.
Mine is same but not quite same spec. I prefer the understated look knowing that my 4 door saloon will out pace almost anything else when I choose. This is a driver's car, nothing much better in my opinion. |

My last car was black and you couldn't see the details very well, but the white really shows up the lines an was inspired by a picture of an american M Performance car in the end.

That's what I wanted to hear! I was unsure about getting the 20's, I think the 19's look fine. Maybe if I damage/kerb these in a year or something I could re-think things but happy with the look for now.

Yes kind off, apart from vans, or any commercial vehicles, I'm sure they pull out on purpose if they see us coming a bit rapidly!

Looks fantastic!!... I'm trying to decide about the how much of the M-Performace kit to add. I'd originally planned the whole thing including the wheels, but I got cold feet about the wheels due to the ride quality, cost and that they do look very big!
Mine is going to be EBII and I'm currently thinking of the everything but the front splitter and with the colour coded lower side skirts. Your photos have helped me decide it'll look fine with the 19's. Thanks!

If you dont mind me asking, how much did you pay all in for the parts fitting and painting? £200 for the paint seems decent enough (front lips and sides only? I presume the diffusers is as it came? Do all the aero parts actually come as 1 kit? If it was cheaper this way I might be tempted
