Hey guys I'm new to the site. Have had my BMW 328i 2013 with 30thousand miles for about 6months. Had been effy about doing anything to it but it's time. Ordered a spoiler had it carbon fiber wrapped and had the bottom of my bumper wrapped for now until I get a m sport conversion. Let me know what you guys think I'm from Texas. Would like to get feedback and make friends on this site. Here is a before and after. After the wrap and debadge.

Thanks brother. I'm thinking of wrapping my roof either gloss black or carbon fiber but idk yet maybe leave it like that how it is. I do want to order the m3 bumper pretty soon with fenders and back bumper. But I know a lot of ppl don't like that. But I'm not going to put any m3 badge or anything. I'm actually in the process of getting a custom Tx plate that says itsa328i. Lol

Hey nice job! Wrapping the bottom of the rear bumper looks good to me... How much did it cost to have that done? I am also thinking of uprading my bumpers to the M Sport ones, but I don't have any leads on doing it...

Black grilles. ASAP. This will make the overall look of your car more uniform.

rjd_F30 · 05-28-2018, 08:34 AM

Welcome to the forums! Rear looks 10x better with the little upgrades you've done, nice work. +1 on the black grilles, they make a much bigger difference than you'd think. Throw some black wheels on and you'll be full storm trooper status.

I spent $175 for the wing and bottom of the bumper to get it wrapped. You might want to check out **********s.com they have a lot of selection for upgrades for bumpers and hoods

Welcome to the forum and sharing pictures. Nice F30! If you are beginning to create a list of mods, a better suspension would be worth adding to the list. One literally lives with the suspension covering long distances in Texas (my personal experience). KW Street Comfort coilovers will transform the suspension behavior at a reasonable price.

No worries. Always glad to help. Does your vehicle have 17" wheels? If it does, upgrading to 18" wheels will be equally helpful. One of the most cost effective upgrades is finding slightly used 400M style OEM wheels on this forum. 400M wheels weight about 26 lbs, not too heavy. To contrast, forged BBS 18" wheels weigh about 19 lbs. 6 extra lbs in unsprung weight at a substantial discount is a reasonable trade off.

Of course there is always a choice of wheels for every personal taste.
