Hello

Armaan · 02-15-2020, 04:37 AM

Hi all,

Just wanted to introduce myself. Came back into the BMW fold in December just gone, having had a F20 in 2013 for a year or so.

Spec of my car is F30 LCI 320i Sport, Sun protection, LED headlights, Black panel and Tanzanite Blue, added the black genuine M performance grills and what a difference to the front already.

Started off with some coding via BimmerCode. Auto start stop off by default, M performance logo, cornering lights on, digital Speedo, red sport dials and idrive off when driver door open.

Thanks for reading,

Armaan

Welcome!

Hi all,

Images attached - a bit dirty at the moment with all the storms etc, but in my opinion, one of the best colours I've seen in the 3 and one of the selling points.

Also glad I went for the LCI due to the rear lights and LED fogs (I think)...also missed that it has HK sound.

Greetings!

Good to see a non-M Sport model for a bit of change

My first F30 was a 328i 'Luxury' in Melbourne Red and it was a good look. I also like Tanzanite Blue, so much so that I had a '96 Soarer resprayed in that colour.

Welcome back ! i got a non-m sport myself and actually prefer the front , i changed to the black double slat grille and does make a big difference. Boot spoiler next and some coding via Bimmercode. Wondered what you got planned next (just want to steal some ideas really )

Londoner · 02-18-2020, 06:35 AM

And the non m sport, luxury seats are imo so much more comfortable. Wish you could spec MS cars with them.

Where are you in the Midlands? If you've not got the dongle or app yet then I'm happy for you to do some coding...

Planned next is the genuine gloss black boot spoiler (Matt black ones are everywhere on ebay, but I want it to match the grille). This will be after I get the gloss black M3 style side mirrors, ones with a fin...

Armann just got both last weekend but with (storm) Dennis around thought it more useful to stay in doors , going to code a few things this weekend, if i get stuck (probably will) ill give you a PM if thats OK

with you.

Armaan · 02-18-2020, 08:38 AM

Not a problem - if you follow the online instructions it’s very easy. I did a batch of coding in one ECU, then disconnected it first to ensure it all worked. Then you can set it all up again and do the rest.

I’ll be around so not a problem.

Lovely colour. I had Imperial Blue on my F34 Luxury, all these darker blues look very classy.
