(F31) Official 3-Series Touring picture thread

Inglewood · 01-11-2021, 09:16 AM

Swapped out my Apex ARC-8 18" wheels for a set of OEM 437M. As much as I love 18" wheels, I think these F3x and F8x cars just have bigger bodies suited for 19" wheels. Will definitely have to adjust the coilover ride height - as these still have clearance but are a little tucked for my liking...

.... The Toyo Snow proxes arnt Nokians but they are still very good in the snow!

People still do not understand the benefits of snow/winter tires. It is more than worth it to buy a dedicated winter tire set if you live in a snowy climate.

c) springs + dinan bumpstops + dinan shockware
d) springs + bilsteins B6/B8

or

e) coilovers + EDC delete? [i'd prefer keeping adaptive suspension though]

Our F31 is Xdrive with adaptive and we just put H&R springs on, standard bump stops with 1 'notch' cut off the fronts

Looks great, well done.

Has anyone on a F31 got the shadowline lights fitted? intrested to see if they are worth the money, seems to be very little photos of them out there.

That's it, they look like slightly tinted LCI lights. Personally, I like both the red LCI lights and the M performance (depends on body color). The shadowline lights look meh to me and if interested, I would tint the standard ones rather than spending the money... especially considering they are usually the most expensive ones

Hey Guys,

New to this forum. Just recently picked up a f31 330i M sport for my wife and looking at modding it soon.

Wanted to know what brake setup are you running please? I see some of the guys have the m sport brakes however some are running bigger brakes. What options are there as I’m looking at upgrading the brakes soon.

Thanks

From what I know, it was part of a limited production a few years ago, I was lucky to find this one used, and I don't know how many are still floating around.
