Mine is the US version 330i, 2.0 L 4-cylinder.

Yep, the steering is super light. It get's a little heavier in sport mode. Nice for around town but a little weird when your trying to get feedback from the car on the backroads... the steering is precise though, just not the best responsive feel.

Welcome and nice Alpine white F31!

Welcome! Your M-sport is clean looking. Don't do too much the appearance, looks great as is

I'm usually in the E90/E91 section of the forums. More specifically, the "E91s for sale" thread. However, I noticed a nice possibly rare-optioned F31 for sale and am looking for some insight on price.

2014 328d xDrive Touring
-Black Sapphire over Dakota Black, Shadowline
-101,000 miles
-M Sport package (full package, interior, exterior, anthracite headliner, etc.)
-ST2BA Sport Trans
-Xenon, Comfort Access, Alarm, HUD, HiFi speakers, and other options

What would you pay or what is reasonable for the miles, knowing it is an M-Sport optioned wagon and diesel?

I’d post this in the N47 section given it’s a diesel. However, I’d check to see if the tcase has been replaced (if at all). Probably in the $12-$14k range depending on your location (cannot see on mobile app).

Thank you for some insight, I will look into the N47 Section/Threads.

What is your reason for asking about the transfer case? Are they really going bad after 100k miles on the F3X models?

On the F3X diesels, they typically fail in the 30-50k range. Very common issue with the output flange for the rear driveshaft. Enabled has made some great threads and technical ‘fixes’ to help guide anyone through this

Do it. The fuel economy is great, as is the practicality. Night n day difference to the e46 Touring.

Be aware, m sport is appearance only on the diesel wagons, they have base suspension and brakes. That being said, LCI isn’t hard to update to interior wise, other than the console swap (I did not, did m3 console bits instead).

Sounds like it would be fun car to own. Happy to help in anyway I can. Just drop a pm!

Time to find a garage. More money! 🤬

Some of you are extremely fortunate you don't live in nyc.

Took a family road trip to the Redwood forests. Some great roads to explore.

Short cruise followed by a wash and some gas before SF goes into shelter-in-place tonight. Its been a while since I've had a chance to wash so figured I won't be driving much and it'll be a good time to clean her up.

Thank you, I appreciate it. I wanted to do something different as I did with the 669M wheels but take it a step further with these. I love the wheels when direct light hits them whether at night or day where you can see the metallic flakes from EB2 really shine that is my favorite part.
