(F31) Official 3-Series Touring picture thread

damack · 01-25-2020, 12:14 PM

I've been loving my F31 since purchasing in August last year. Winter made an abrupt appearance a week ago, thankfully it didn't stick around for long.

Same here. Owned a couple in the past now shopping around for a new daily and find myself looking at the F31 again.

It's a great car. I'm thinking about getting out of mine if interested. There's about 10 months remaining on the lease

Appreciate the offer but it’s Estoril Blue or bust for me.

Thanks guys! It's on H&R Sport springs, 245/35 and 265/35 tyres.

Here's a few more after the well needed clean...

it is a gorgeous f31 and perfectly optioned it is exactly how my original was but unfortunately i do not lease or finance and the buyout is more than what i can buy an '18 with similar msrp outright for at the moment then add taxes and shipping it just isn't an attractive proposition for me. it is a far better deal for someone to assume the lease.

Estoril is a beautiful color. It was definitely on my list. I ended up with Melbourne Red and have no regrets.

I am not in the market, I trust that you are up on current pricing. Obviously no point in me selling for anything less than the current buyout as I do not need to get rid of the car. I agree that a lease takeover is the most compelling. Especially for someone that likes to switch cars frequently (only 10 months remaining on lease). In fact I might do a lease assumption in the future as I enjoy switching things up frequently. Good luck with your search!

Thank you. Browsing your IG it appears we have very similar taste in vehicles. We may do business on something else in the near future. Keep me posted.

Sunset drive to start the weekend

wesmeister · 01-31-2020, 08:38 PM

^ Very nice. What road is that? Looks like central coast...

///Mac · 01-31-2020, 09:07 PM

Thanks! It's Highway 1 between Muir Beach and Stinson Beach

///Mac · 02-24-2020, 03:34 PM

Another nice drive to kick off this past weekend...

Great shot! My F31 is the twin of yours. Which engine do you have?

dinanm3atl · 02-28-2020, 08:01 AM

Love all the wagons. Currently have a 5sp E46 Touring but since I got the E90 M3 been looking at newer. Stumbled on to an Estoril M Sport Diesel F31 and looking around at them. Hoping to move forward on it.

It might be a little slow for you, coming from an E90 M3... but it’ll look good doing it

I'd sell the E46 Touring. I need a wagon to get to/from the airport with all my photo gear.

Gioalexnyc · 03-01-2020, 08:46 AM

Went from a 2014 x1 28i to 2015 328i wagon

...and I'm already loving it; one day in. I'm also new to this forum, this is my first post. The x1 didn't really have any upgraded packages, the 3 series is fully loaded.

One thing I noticed right away was the steering. It feels really light on the 3 series, which is taking some getting used to. It's a little weird for me to be honest, perhaps that can be adjusted. Pardon my ignorance. Anything I should know to look out for? Thanks.

Looks great. I have a 2015 in MSport. The steering is light, I have an E93 as well and the feels like no power steering after driving the F31!

Will you modify or leave standard?

The Sport mode tightens up the steering too.

Thanks! I might modify the exterior just a tiny bit, just to give a slight aggressive look but nothing major at all. Yeah the steering is night and day compared to my previous x1. I'll give the sports mode a shot.

Hey everyone, long time viewer first time poster. Got my new ride a few months ago and thought I'd share a pic. More to come once winter goes away and the parts can start being installed. See you all soon!
