What has been done to my Nimble from Armenia in 365 days!

Hey everyone,

My first post here, so any feedback is more than welcome!
Today is the anniversary of my F30. I bought it exactly one year ago.

Skipping all the minor things, here is the list of upgrades I have done so far.

Rear View Camera
PDC
F85 style remote
Sport Seats
Wood (anthracite) Interior trim
NBT Evo Touch ID6 + CarPlay
Harman Kardon
М sport kit
F30 335 brakes
Custom exhaust
6WB Led dashboard
Sound insulation
М sport steering wheel with shifting paddles ( heated )
Koni Special Active shocks
LCI climate
LCI cup holder
Shadow Line
LED Fogs
GTS style OLED Smoked taillights
397 style square setup wheels
GTS style OLED Red taillights - on the way
Eibach Pro Kit - on the way

The vehicle is a 2013 328 (N26) xDrive with base options like adaptive headlights, HUD, light package, winter package, comfort access, and black Dakota leather. Imported from the USA.

And here are some before and after photos. I have covered my current number plates automatically using http://hiddy.ai

Would be happy to answer any questions!

Eibach Pro Kit

Eibach Pro Kit added, I thought a lot about this and finally installed it today. Here are some before/after photos. The real drop seems to be 2cm. The Koni Special Actives were installed a few months ago.

Wow, the car looks so different! I love the modifications you did; it's very tasteful. How is the BMW scene in Yerevan? Are larger engines popular in Armenia? I would love to come visit next time I'm in the region; it's only a short flight from Tehran.

Thank you!
There are more Japanese/Korean cars here, like Toyota, Hyundai, Kia, and Nissan.
When it comes to German cars, BMW is the second following Mercedes which is the absolute champion
Previously there were more larger engine cars, but now with the F series and new customs rules, smaller turbocharged engines are becoming more popular.

You can visit Armenia, at least for the cuisine and the history!

In Iran we also love Asian cars, especially Hyundai/Kia. My grandfather had a Kia Pride for years before replacing it with a Peugeot in 2009.
I like the smaller turbocharged engines; they make the car lighter up front and more fun to drive in the hills.

Agree regarding the turbocharged engines. They are also economical! I am saying this as a previous E70 4.8 owner. F30's 0-100, even better with N26.
