Hi, I just found this thread. Was anyone here at the Top Gear Live show in Birmingham on 27 October ? I saw a white sportline there with blacked out grills and a black rooftop .

I have noticed the same White M-Sport F30 around my area past few nights.
62 Reg DXT last three.

It was a super run down from London and am very pleased with the car! IMO compared with the equiv E90 it gives a much smoother ride, seems to be even better when cornering and has more 'go'. It has the feeling of being more lux and a bigger car. My old E90 320d M-Sport is in the familly and drive it occasionally and still is a great car! |

Are F30 sightings becoming any more frequent? I live in Cambs and drive quite a few miles and still only see maybe a couple F30's a week. I did see an EBII msport on the A1 towards Peterborough last week, but thats the only sedan msport I've seen. I've seen a couple F31 msports, and a colleague also has an F31 white msport. I guess its good to still be fairly unique.

I think they're quite hard to spot. Very similar at first glance to either the E9x or F1x.
Anyway, make the most of the exclusivity. In 12 months they'll be as common as muck. |

There are also a few F20's around with xenons that look like the F30 when approaching them. I get some very obvious stares from pedestrians and other motorists from time to time!

Muppet in a Melbourne Red Saloon on the M4/Severn Bridge
Spotted : Muppet in a Melbourne Red Saloon on the M4/Severn Bridge, Saturday 22nd December.
OK - so probably he had a bit of badge envy (having a 320d). And OK - my car was gleaming as it has just been valeted, but that's STILL no reason to drive past me, get into the lane front of me, doing <cough> 70mph, and get your mate in the back seat to take a picture of me - WITH THE FRIGGING FLASH GOING OFF! Yes it was bright, yes it did distract me, and yes, it was stupid. Normally I would expect an "that was me" response to most of the 'spotted' posts on here. Bet the owner won't admit to this one !

I seem to be seeing a lot more around Bristol and my commute along the M4.
Today there was a black sport version at the Mall heading towards the roundabout by DFS, an alpine white version on the M32 (both 12 plates) and an EBII on the M4 heading towards the southbound turn off for the M5.

Had a F31 M Sport in EB11 chasing me down the A428 St Neots bypass a couple of weeks ago

Definitely seeing more about, though I still haven't seen an M Sport on the road, or a 330d! And very few have Xenons, surprisingly. Most common seems to be a white 320d 'sport', with no Xenons

I'm finding that too, of all the F30's & F31's I've seen on the road (probably 20-25 in total), only one has had Xenons, and they've pretty much all been 320d Sport Lines.

I did see 7 on the way home from work yesterday, but they were all on a transporter on the way to the dealership so I may have to disqualify them

Spotting other F30s on the road I've hardly seen any with Xenons beside one EB II 330d Estate on the A1 Northbound yesterday around Darrington, but it looked like a company car so doubt it would be a member on here. Seeing Sports and ED cars with non-Xenons made me think that if I bought a F30 it had to have Xenons.. Thankfully I got one with the Vis pack and love it!

Ive seen a few F30's recently, 2 or 3 white M-Sports but no xenons, only one with, a blue F31 the other evening on the M25 Surrey stretch.

I saw an EB II 330d MSport Estate by Junction 13 of the M1 at about 9:20 this morning, I did give a thumbs up but the driver didn't see me, any one on here - didnt get the reg plate as he was in the 2nd lane and I was in 4th and come over to the 3rd to give my thumbs up

And what does a company car look like for it to be recognisable as a company car ?

I saw my first F30 M Sport today in the wild today! It was a black LB12 plate with 18s and xenons. Must admit, it looked very understated in black, you couldn't really see the lines of the front bumper and the rear diffuser very well. It was on Haywards Heath high street at about 8:30am. Probably not on here though as it looked like a company car to my trained eye..
