Yes, I think I will be putting on the MPerformance rear diffusor at some point this summer along with the CF caps to round out the OEM+ look.

Got some new parts for the car but it's not the usual upgrades posted on this forum
Decided that we would try to fit 3 convertible carseats in the back of the F31 after seeing that there was lots of room in the back of our Subaru Outback fitted with a combination of Diono's and Cleks. Sure enough everything fits and now we have choices in terms of which car to take on trips or even which car to commute to work in every morning. Gotta say that this makes me like this car even more. There are not a lot of options out there for those who want the following.

One additional note, to those who think booster seats will be more practical and save space, it doesn't live up to the hype if you need to install the booster adjacent to another carseat.
I actually had 2 Clek convertible carseats and 1 Clek booster installed for 1 week. It drove us absolutely mad every time we tried to help buckle up our 6 year old because you can't actually see the seatbelt buckle since it's partially covered by the adjacent carseat. Once we removed the booster and installed the 3rd carseat, we really valued being able to actually see and access all the belts and belt buckles in plain sight. |

As for the 19" 403 stock wheels, they have been put away and stored in my basement and won't see the light of day until my lease return inspection. I run a set 18" of 400M's for winter. |

Love the car -- and in fact you were the inspiration to start the f31 ordering process about 3 months ago and couldn't be happier so thanks!
Perfect setup with wheel/tire package, too! Question -- what are the specs on the window tint? Brand and %? Thanks! |

I really have no idea what brand the tints are since it was a dealer installed option. I believe they are 35% all around. |

About to close the chapter on my F31 Sport. It has been an awesome experience with this being my first BMW and first diesel. The car has served me and my family very well over the past 3+ years.
Ironically, I need to move the family to a larger vehicle now that the kids are growing out of their carseats and into boosters. Most folks seem to think that boosters save space but it's counter intuitive. There is simply not enough width in the back of these cars for kids to easily buckle themselves up since the seatbelt receptacle is buried deep beneath the adjacent carseat. I would not hesitate to recommend this car to others since it is so very unique/rare (in my neck of the woods anyways), efficient, reliable and well supported by the aftermarket as well as having a variety of OEM+ options like M Performance. |

Getting out of my Volvo XC90 R-Design land yacht and back into a F31 diesel MSport but this time it will it will be a 2018 F31 diesel MSport LCI. Couldn't resist since this looks to be the final chapter for the 3 series touring and diesel powertrain in North America. Maybe it's a disease when you order the same car twice although I did the same thing getting 2 Audi A4 B8 Avant's .
I inquired about an Individual colour but was too late and could only get a Fashion Grey F31 allocation for a petro / gas engined variant. So back to good ol Alpine White for me. It was one of the last Alpine White F31's with the MSport I and MSport II packages in Canada. Already have all the MPerformance body parts on order along with lowering springs and 405M rims. This time I couldn't get the blue MPerformance brakes from the factory so Orange MPerformance BBK it is. Can't wait to build version 2 of my 2014 F31 build going minus the transfer case issues affecting my old car. Once I get into the new F31 in 2 weeks time I'll contrast and compare what's changed between 2014 and 2018 and post my findings here for all of you.
