We are very like minded, I think our cars are twins. It's hard to find black msports I found as almost everyone wants the white, EB etc, so the sapphire might end up being somewhat rare!

Here's hoping. I do see a lot of white ones around. Not a lover of white cars normally but I do like the 3 series M Sport in white. Nearly bought one with GT racing stripes and all the bells and whistles but went for sapphire instead and pretty I did!

Agreed Sapphire Black isn't as popular as White or Estoril Blue on the forum. Personally, I think the Sapphire Black brings out the 3er's sleek & elegant lines.

Slick ride mate! Enjoy! I myself just bought a 328i M sport, but in mineral grey, and am loving every second that I'm in it.

It sounds as if there are a lot of f30 m sports where you are based. In Sydney, I honestly never see them around, only ever base line or at most a sport line. Half of them don't have xenons either

Yes mate seems to be a pretty healthy population of F30 M Sports here in Brisbane but I have noticed a lot of single tail pipes at closer inspection also.

Life without xenons is unimaginable

I don't get why when spending what these cars cost anyone wouldn't go the extra for the xenons, especially with this generation the angel eyes with eyebrows are so bright, and generally they are safer light the road better, and the high beam xenons wow! For me it would be like having a BMW without its face on

I recommend the twin-tips with the ///M laser etched on them

Dabaitu, I'm so tempted to get the M exhaust upgrade. In saying that I've just come from an Evo IX (220 kW ATW btw) that was so loud it used to set off car alarms and shake your fillings out of your teeth, so in my old age I'm quite enjoying being stealth for a couple of months...wolf in sheeps clothing so to speak.

Opti Coat in a month and I think it'll be time for exhaust upgrade

+2
Can't agree more the halo eyes are a unique signature of BMW. Not getting it is like not getting leather seats for a luxury car. Definitely will regret it, if you don't get it.

+3 The aftermarket options for these xenons don't even come close to OEM. Due to these DRL's I frequently get passerby's looking at the car. Maybe also cause of the M Sport..

Don't be worried about that sort of volume from it.
