My VO F30 M Performance Edition
Hello f30.bimmerpost, figured I may as well introduce myself with a picture or two. I picked up about 2 months ago with 10,000km on the clock.. Overall I've found the color is either love it or hate it.. there's no real in between, plus it's a pain in the butt to photograph.
So far I've mildly lowered it on Dinan springs, and much to displeasure of the dealership I've installed a trailer hitch. Boy this car gets a lot of odd looks towing my race bike to the track. haha Next mods will be some mild custom Alcantara work, and I'll be moving away from OEM 20 wheels to a easier to clean/maintain set of 19's.

amazing color combination with the mperformance bits! cant believe you are going to dump those fantastic 20s. curious to see how the hitch is installed. Did you do an invisible hitch or you hacked up the diffuser?

Hitch is a Curt unit, with a Tekonsha ZCI Circuit Protected wiring harness. Yes I had to trim the rear diffuser slightly and reshape the exhaust heat shield to accommodate the hitch. Overall it took a about 4 hours to install the hitch, and route the wiring. The car tows beautifully |

I won't be going to this extreme on this car.. but, I'm going to do a few things that haven't been done before. But I will keep that in mind for getting supplies if I run out of material. Thanks Last edited by zibbit; 09-29-2016 at 08:36 PM.. |

Did you, by chance, buy that car from Vancouver's "the BMW Store" last spring? If so, I saw it there and loved it. Very unique.

Nope, previous owner bought the car new at Vic BMW, then traded it in 2 years later at the same dealership. I picked it up 4 days later haha.

Thanks, and OH I am.. I get a goofy grin on my face every time I go for a drive or see people duck for cover when the car belts out a loud backfire on decel. haha
I love how among a sea of BMW's in this town, it's one of the only ones not black, grey or white. |

There's one that i always see around the Richmond area. Last time i saw it was at Home Depot. Now i'm thinking maybe i should have gone with that Valencia Orange MPE that was at The BMW Store instead hehe.
