Wow, your wagon looks great ! I'm impressed by the relatively short shipping time from Bremerhaven to Seattle !

Unfortunately, cars destined for western Canada all have to come through Halifax, then be trans-shipped by rail to Vancouver - a much slower shipping arrangement.

Enjoy your new Touring !

Amazing! What color is that? Can't be Estoril

Wait, it is Estoril. Lovely.

Yes

You can order the front splitter 4 ways.

1.The whole splitter can be painted.

2. The lower lip painted and side intake pieces left matte black (this is the one I selected 0Z3Q Front Splitter-pnted lower lip)

3. The side intake pieces painted and the lower lip left matte black ( the opposite of what mine looks like)

4. The whole thing left matte black

The Sales GM suggested I go with the splitter that had the painted lower lip to leave some contrast on the front and also the matte black intake peices line up perfectly with the matte M performance stickers on the sides of the car too. I'm happy with my choice.

I also could of went with a painted rear diffuser but i liked how the matte looked better and thought it would match everything already.

The side painted skirts blades I ordered also line up perfected with the painted portion of the lower lip .

The car looks way better then I could have imaged!!

Cant wait to see yours!! I thought about going with the coral red too but decided to go with the saddle brown.



Oh yeah the M exhaust is totally worth it too.

Option 5 -paint the fangs body color and paint the lower lip high gloss black.

+1 on that. That looks real good.

If I could do over I would have gone this route as well. I left mine all matte black.

When I was researching for my car, I came to the conclusion that, at least in my opinion, certain colors can pull off different front lip combos. For example, blue can pull of a completely body colored painted lip, red, not so much. Or with blue you can paint the fangs gloss Black and paint the lower lip body color, that works too. On the flip side, with red, I was not a fan of painting the lower lip body color and leaving the fangs black.

Looks like your F31 will be getting lots of extras.

I'll reply later with the codes, most of the codes were custom as I had to work with the VPC to do the paint work.

getting very anxious. My last wagon was S4 Avant. absolutely loved it. my current car is F10 535.hope I don't miss the extra power.

My car is at VPC, which apparently my CA almost missed the deadline and had the car taken off the truck. Now I am nervous he didnt put my options in properly.

I also didn't have the option to custom order any painting. if there wasn't a code for it in the system, I couldn't order it. I will take care of it on my own.

Will post pics when received

Hailing from not so sunny London, greetings to all.

Seeing some lovely cars on these threads, I see the F31 has taken over globally!

I am new to the BMW world as an entry have picked myself up a F31
As a daily drive this fits the bill from styling to performance.. still a fair few modifications remaining but I hope the below pics give an idea of the journey so far...

Appreciate any tips or recommendations

Your F31 looks great Speaking for myself, I would not pursue further mods, except perhaps retro-fitting the new LED tail lamps. They look impressive when they are lit up !
