Pleasure and please don't take those early comments too seriously plus a few towards the middle. The folks that truly want to help will tell you the positives and the negatives but some of those guys just couldn't be pleased regardless. I wouldn't go back to that 8.8 OEM screen myself ever again!

I need to start looking for at LEAST a front and rear painted bumper after seeing these pics! Makes my lux line look like pure crap!!

What are you dropped on? Looks like a nice drop that maintains practicality. Or how much lower is it?

I like this drop not to harsh and not scrapping splitter on every bump.

^^ THIS!!!! I feel like I am 70 in this thing but am half that age. Then again, my previous 4 cars were all Cadillac's (1 Seville, 2 CTS, 1 XTS) so I am on my way back to my youth again slowly but surely as ditching the Caddy was step # 1

My second BMW was an F30 2012 328i Luxury line with saddle brown interior and I was 24 at the time so I would sure know how that feels.

All my cars since then have been M Sport.

See what I mean, you won't find a single member who would say I like SE or Luxury line instead Everyone will say M Sport .

so why won't BMW only make M Sport models .

I'm sure there is a generation who truly likes the luxury line look. Although the lux trim and details aren't popular there is a demographic that would still prefer it over aggressive sport. At the time that I bought mine I was new to the brand and was wowed by the customer journey within my dealer. The car being my first BMW obviously locked me in.

It's not until you read through forums you start to realize there were more options and one of them you would prefer more over the other. In some cases it comes down to how thorough your sales guy is and whether or not they show you all your options.

Because some others really do like the luxury lines and like the luxurious look of it. My fiancé didn't care too much for M sport. Made her get it anyway. Hahaha she is slowly realizing M sport looks nicer though.

Let me share pic of my car when I bought

Exactly my friend , when I bought the car I was happy but when I started seeing mods here I started to hate my car and just wanted to mod it

They will slowly come around.. she wasn't game for spending a bit more though. Good thing I pushed her to buy the M sport. Wasn't sure if I'd get a F30 myself so I had to make sure her 328i looked flossin too! Haha

That's quite a transformation! Holy smokes. How much did you pay for those rims? I remember them being a pretty penny.

Man let's not go there LMAO I bought my CTS after waiting years for a 2nd gen CTS V with low mileage to pop up that included the Recaro seat package. Then I see one 3 months later but it was too late, I was screwed. VERY fun car to drive for sure man

As a side note, I drove balls out all the way home as a tribute to the M Sport models....never seen a lux line lose it like that and now I see what you all mean with the run craps. Ready to ditch them ASAP!

I most def needa get rid of my run craps too. XLR-V looks super sleek though but I won't ever drive a caddy tho. Maybe the new CTS-Vs but for that money i might go elsewhere.

That's where the smart money goes (away from GM) but man, they're fun as hell to drive! My uncle still has his XLR V and no matter how old I (or he) is, no one can drive it but him and he probably hasn't been taken it on a highway let alone open it up! Sad really...

Next car hands down must have an M in the name lol. I've been seriously thinking of downsizing to the 2er in the next year or two and just call it a day with the Estoril Blue M2. Damn thing is calling my name every single time I open my browser! (no, it's NOT Google ADs, couldn't be lol) Bastards are good, haha

Definitely ditching these tires come Winter. Just going to toss on some 393's for now unless there is a cheaper nicer option for this beast.
