2014 Melbourne red 335i M-tech

James550i6spd · 01-26-2014, 04:53 PM

Hey guys,

Just picked up my baby a couple of weeks ago and let the modding begin..*edited meant to say M-sport not m-tech

The 6spd tranny is marvelous..love everything about the car. I'm coming off from a e46 330 that I owned for 12 years. I loved that car but the F30 is obviously leaps and bounds better in all aspects. Luxurious ride if I want it to be but a beast when needed.

So far..
Tint
Black grills
Lip/roof spoiler

Upcoming:
20" wheels. The stock 18s do give a nice ride but looks way too undersized.
"Maybe" Dinan suspension...the car is lower than most stock cars out there but jury is still out if want to mess with the suspension...I guess depends on how it'll look with 20s on 35 profile tires. My old E46 was slammed and after a while, I started to realize stock suspension was the perfect combo of performance vs comfort

Here are some crappy mobile pics.
I'm pretty stocked recaro made a Baby seat that matched the car

Had to wash the wife's car today too

I use car seat protectors. The leather holds up well..used for 2 years in old Beemer and wife's old car..leather looked perfectly fine.
