2018 M sport wagon build

DS8_photo · 06-06-2018, 04:17 PM

Here it is, my new 330i wagon that replaced my F80 M3. I needed something with more cargo space so here I am. I've had it for about 5 weeks now and it's taken some adjustment getting used to less power. I do about 25k miles a year so the driveability of this car is great. Gas mileage is no way near what it states but that could be that I'm still trying to drive this like the M3. I have a lot planned for this car so stay tuned to see what I do and I'll make sure to take as many photos as I can.

Factory:

2018 BMW 330i
M sport package
Track package
Tech package with digital cluster
Black grille surround
M performance side skirts
Red interior

The day they delivered my car

Current mods:

H&R lowering springs with 18mm spacers from Supreme Power
Anarchist Collection - carbon front lip
--Parts of the lip have been wrapped in gloss white
Anarchist Collection - carbon diffuser
Anarchist Collection - roof spoiler (currently being wrapped in carbon)
Muffler and resonator delete with 4-1/2" ARK tips
M style mirror caps painted matte black
Satin black roof wrap by Elevated Auto Concepts
Color matched IND front reflector
Blacked out rear badges (painted by me)

Had it lowered within a few days

Lowered with roof wrap and M sport mirror covers

Test fitting roof spoiler and front lip

Custom straight pipe muffler and resonator delete
Wrapped some parts to make the front grille appear taller

Looks great...

I myself had an F80 (Individual Pyrite Brown) and now will be taking delivery of my Sunset Orange M-sport F31 very soon...

Have H&R's, OEM 666M wheels, and a bunch of body stuff ready for it... Still unsure of exhaust... I may throw on a 340 MPE muffler...

Post up some sound clips!

Looks great. Love the mods. Must be quite a change from an M3. I love my F31 though... I see more M3/4 in my area than wagons!

Nice!! Loved my F80 but it wasn't the greatest sounding car. I'll post some video clips this weekend of the wagon. Currently looking to have my secondary cat deleted. Right now with the resonator and muffler deleted I'm getting some drone at low speeds which is expected but I'd like to minimize it. I'm also considering finding a used M sport muffler to put back on if I don't like the sound of it being straight piped.

Great-looking wagon!

Thanks!! On the inside it's the same which is nice because I love the interior and they both had red seats. The wagon has the panoramic roof which I like better and the kids like the view as well. We all miss the speed but this car is a better daily driver. I do about 26k miles a year on my cars so the M3 beat me up for the last 80k miles. I live in Costa Mesa so every other car I see is a M3/4 so my F31 really stands out among all the BMW's

Beautiful Touring!

Do you have any more pictures of the roof spoiler installed? Looks pretty aggressive from their website but from the front in your pictures posted it looks sweet!

cfm56d7b · 06-12-2018, 07:04 PM

Perfect in every way, especially the choice of spacers - perfectly matched. Congratulations!

Sea-Tac · 06-12-2018, 08:19 PM

Excellent look. Nice work...great setup...best of luck.

Currently it's off the car being wrapped in carbon so as soon as I get it back I'll post some good pictures.
