Mods to do: painted front reflectors and Injen intake this week and I think I will call it done and start saving my pennies for the new M. :-)


FYI...I am not Stephen Moy. That is someone taking pics at the meet we were at on the rooftop...

Looks great! What are the width and offset of your wheels? Very aggressive.

I have to say I think the car would look better with the front plate in the center. It is really distracting to have it on the side. Just my opinion...

I agree. The plate on the Non-M sport bumper actually is not terrible where it is suppose to be.

Thanks! Fronts are 20x9 ET35 with 245/35 tires. Rears are 20x10.5 ET42 with 275/30 tires. I am running -3 degrees camber on the rear to tuck them in and not rub.

Correct, no line = base

Very aggressive camber. I'm thinking about getting a set of Enkei wheels with a rear fitment of 19x9.5 ET35, research tells me these are going to stick out too much from the rear guards without camber adjustment, but not sure if I'm willing (daring) to go with that much negative camber. I don't doubt it will look great though.

I thought it was aggressive as well, but after research and my shop's confirmation -3 degrees is mild and does not have an adverse effect on the tire wear and actually improves handling. 8,000 miles on the tires and the tread is still wearing even from in to out. From everyone I talked to, going to -5 and above would be where you are pushing the limit. Actually on the F30, you can go up to -3.5 degrees without having to add camber plates.

In between rain storms, not very clean, parked outside of work. Stock except for the swap to the 397's.

Thanks for the info. According to the offset calculator, your 10.5" ET42 "EXTEND an extra 5mm" over an 9.5" ET35, which are the wheels I have in mind and it should work in this case with negative camber. Though another concern is that, would it look wrong if the car was not lowered but add negative camber? I'd like to keep the stock ride height of the M performance suspension as it is still my daily driver.

If your car is at stock height with the m performance suspension I couldnt imagine you rubbing. Without the neg camber I was able to lower it about 1.5 finger gaps of space between the top of the tire and the wheel well and not rub. So I would not think if you are 5mm inset that you would need to add camber. Even if you had to add 1~2 it really would not be that noticeable. Look at all the Porsche, mercedes and other rwd and they typically have some neg camber. Since you have the wheels, just put them on and see. Take a drive around. The M performance suspension is stiffer than average so you should not have a lot of wheel travel.

Very nice!!! Great taste!!!

It's rare to see a 335 Luxury Line with the MPPK, 6MT, M-Sport Brakes, and Style 401 wheels. The only things I'd do differently are keep the Chrome kidney grilles and add the M-Sport Suspension.

Thanks for the great comments! It is an Xdrive model so there is no sport suspension option available, on any Xdrive models. I actually hemmed and hawed about the dynamic sports suspension, but I read too many conflicting reports on the VSS and that it either made the ride rock hard or pillow soft, so I went with stock. Actually, I am totally happy with it. I think if the M sport suspension was possible I would have done it in a heartbeat.

I just noticed it was XDrive. Well I suppose you could always install some lowering springs if you wanted. Regardless, it looks awesome! Enjoy.
