New here, and have been spending way too much time looking at all your badass Bimmers! Picked mine up last month, it's a 2015 M-Sport and I'm loving it! Sorry for the bad pictures, I'll get some better ones soon!

- Already looking at AutoTrader LOL

I bought this car as a daily driver about a month ago. I also have a truck and drive about 150 miles a day and was spending $250 a week just in gas. This 328 has cut that number down to $70 a week, and to add, its SO FUN to drive and build!

I've been loving this forum and all your sweet cars. This is actually my first car, I've owned, always been a truck guy. It was a good first place to start!

Thanks!

I finally picked up a set of 437M OEM wheels from Staright Six Auto, those guys are great! I'll be throwing them on the F30 within the next week.

I picked up a set of Michelin PP4S from Discount Tire, just waiting on the rears to come in. I went with:
245/35/19 in the front
265/35/19 in the rear
I figured these would be the best fit for me after reading through a couple of the threads here. I can't wait to get them on!

Had one wheel cosmetically repaired. When I picked them up, one had a little curb rash and the clear coat was chipped. I found a company called "Wheel Revivers" and he made it look brand new! I was shocked with how great it came out!

I'll post more pics when they are on the car.

I'll probably be selling my current wheels and tires if there is any interest. They are 18"s with no curb rash, and tires are 245/40/18 square

Are you in Cali? I just purchased a rear hub from Straight Six Auto after finding them on eBay by chance. Definitely good guys! I thought it was funny because I've never heard them mentioned and I'm out in VA.

I am in Cali, about 15 minutes from Straight Six... Thats where I got my F80 brakes and my 437m wheels! Love straight six.

BMWsE92 · 05-22-2022, 12:20 AM

The day has come! I finally got my wheels and tires on the F30, and I couldn't be happier! The car is lowered on H&R Sport Springs, tire size 245/35 & 265/35, and no rubbing! I love the look, what do you think?

F30_320D_UK · 05-26-2022, 01:14 AM

Car looks great. Super clean the white with black wheels. 437m's are the business

Thank you, I'm loving how its coming together!

BMWsE92 · 05-31-2022, 02:01 AM

Same driveway sunset pic... different wheels

Same, but different...

Also discovered that I have a European head unit...

Found out when I tried having SAT radio installed, and it wouldn't work. Cost a lot of money just to get it back functional again after coding failures. Lesson learned.

Contemplating adding the Bimmertech AlphaOne Amp to my HiFi system. If anyone has any experience with this, or has suggestions/recommendations, I'd appreciate it!

Thanks!

BMWsE92 · 06-02-2022, 01:33 AM

I picked this up from a member here, does anyone have any feedback after running this Dinan tuner on a 328i? Thanks!

And a standard sunset pic...

BMWsE92 · 06-04-2022, 09:33 PM

Got the Dinan sport tuner hooked up and running in sport + mode through the ap. While using the built in boost gauge, I noticed an increase of 5psi. And damn... I need to clean my engine bay!

BMWsE92 · 06-04-2022, 09:37 PM

I've wanted to do this for some time, and am getting closer. Just bought the rear diffuser and picking the 335i axle back up from Straight Six next week. Will also do resonator delete at the same time, charge pipe, and downpipe! Any recommendations on downpipes? Thanks!

Denafel · 06-05-2022, 07:30 AM

Amazing look, do you have 20 wheels?

Thank you! They're OEM 437's, so they are 19x9 in the front and 19x10 in the rear. I'm loving how it's coming together!

BMWsE92 · 06-07-2022, 01:00 AM

And hoping to get to the shop tomorrow to have it installed with resonator delete! Has anyone else done this and can provide feedback?

BMWsE92 · 06-08-2022, 02:01 AM

A huge shout out to the guys at RPM in Oceanside for getting this job done so quick, and making it look (and sound) so good! I've wanted to do this since buying the car, and I couldn't be happier with the results! I know some of you die-hard guys will cringe at this, but I LOVE IT!

And the sound is more throaty after removing the resonator, especially noticeable with the valve open.

F30_320D_UK · 06-09-2022, 03:20 PM

Looks great! Sure it sounds good too. Top job
