Looks great, do you have side extensions on or just decals?

Thanks. It's the side skirts. Just bought the carbon exhaust tips - a bmw customer changed his mind so they gave me both tips for £200 installed. Goes well with the carbon boot spoiler:



Can't think of anything else I would do to it. Came with the mppsk, 19" 624 wheels, M sport+/premium (includes sunroof)/aero package and the pro media.
I just hope it will be as reliable as my E90 330i

Nice! I’m thinking about getting the performance kit on mine but can’t work out whether to go with sill extension or not...

I think sill extensions without decals looks the best...

[Gr4y40]

Yeah they look good, I’m just a bit undecided... I had planned to get an aftermarket kit fitted but have decided on OEM and bought a few of the pieces to fit on..
I have a white GC...

Don't think you need to go for oem for side panels. Propably more important with the front splitter at least for safety reasons.
The black trim goes really well with the white paint!

I take you have Matt black diffuser & sills with carbon splitter and rear spoiler?

This seems to be the only combination available on the bmw shop, my black grills have just turned up today

Correct. I think it's a good combo - not going overboard with carbon

Great looking car!

I’m on the lookout for a black f31 but every time I see the white and black combo it makes me question it!

Personally I dont enjoy black cars, they look fab when inside a dealership and spotless but in the real world they are a PITA to keep looking nice.
Other than the constant cleaning and removing swirls, I mate had a e9x M3 in black, the colour did a great job of hiding the nice bonnet vents and lovley body bulges and creases, which he agreed with. All the details seemed to get lost in the darkness.

White, silver, grey, blue, red.... In fact anything other than black..

Yeah agreed, just the side extensions alone look really nice, I'm not a huge fan of the black stickers along the sills, especially with the ///M Performance stckers.

Keeping a black car clean is a pain. A couple of days without cover and you see a fine layer of dust - mixed with a bit of rain and it looks terrible.
Hoping to get the 330i off my hands soon!

Just to make a change from all these pics of gleaming cars on smart alloys...

...here's a couple of recent shots of mine wearing its winter wheels and the grime of a 1,000 mile road trip from London to central Italy.

Clean for that distance traveled....

..and yes black grilles would look cool on carbon black (to answer your other post)

What's the sticker on the number plate then??

I used to have a German round sticker which fitted nicely in the EU stars, did it on purpose to niff the neighbours off as they always were banging on about the leave.. looked quite cool actually

It was a mostly dry trip so mainly brake dust (lovely moment on the autobahn where my wife noted we were running late and could we go faster, not realising we were already doing 200kph - I duly went faster much to her consternation).

Thanks re grilles.

Cresta Run. Sometimes described as racing downhill on glorified teatrays, which is where I got my username from.

It's covering the GB rather than the Euro stars and we did get a rather confused Swiss border guard look at it and ask which European country we were from.

Cresta Run.. that's cool bud.

Swiss can be a bit odd at times, had them frown at me once or twice

Fitted the Competition reps last weekend. I had the M Performance Reps before but think I prefer the M Performance. Thoughts please.

[Alscoob]

MP's for me

Lovely! Mind me asking what you used to take that pic? Just a fancy phone or something more like dslr?
