What is the next upgrade you are going to do on your F30/32/34/36?

Sparky68 · 03-21-2023, 03:36 AM

Converting the exhaust to a dual exit if I can find a nice rear section that works for the 330d .

Will be installing during the week. Don’t like how current ATEs work ( not 100% sure they are original ).

Looks great! And how is the sound?

Sparky68 · 04-03-2023, 04:42 AM

A little bit louder under hard acceleration but otherwise, no different to standard.

Cytoplasm0671 · 04-08-2023, 08:50 PM

Just broke down and bought 513m rims. Excited.

Thinking of changing the front headlights to LED and same for the back, adding a GT Wing onto the back instead of the lip and also switching the exhaust system from a double 1 side exhaust to a single both sides, then remapping the car after ive upgraded the cat and changed the resonator, so probably around £5-6K of parts and work and 6 months timeframe 😂, this is what she currently looks like

Sounds good!

Added rear door comfort access! One of the cheapest and best upgrades 😎
Works perfectly!

So tempted to do this on my F31! I still can’t believe the sedans and wagons didn’t come with this… nice job.

karapet85 · 04-11-2023, 11:41 AM

@HeartbreakerF80 Agree and the main thing is that it works perfectly. So there is no need for additional antennas etc. Just marketing

And here is the original DIY post

Thanks to @roxxor

karapet85 · 06-15-2023, 01:49 PM

The car was in an accident. Everyone is okay.
But since i need to replace the curtain airbag i am thinking about changing the headline to anthracite.
What do you think?

Did you replace with 335 or 340 exhaust?

lpaulodt · 06-18-2023, 06:57 PM

Replace lower control arms with uniball type bushings

RobotDoctor · 06-19-2023, 04:16 PM

Carbon fiber grill going in. Not sure whether I’m replacing a slightly damaged front bumper or not. I’d so I’ll install the grills on the new bumper. If not I’ll have the damage repaired then have them put in or I’ll do it.

Fliplegend · 06-20-2023, 07:17 AM

B14 Coilovers for the F33. Just trying to decide if I want to DIY or send it to a shop.

What about the springs?
I paid about $150 for the labor when switched to Konis.
