Just Bought My First BMW (2014 F32)

Hey guys,

Been dreaming about this moment since I was in high school - finally pulled the trigger this past weekend. Name: IMG_2390.PNG

So far - I think i want the rear lip spoiler and definitely black kidney grills as well. Also considering black roof wrap and carbon fiber mirror caps - what do y'all think?

Congrats!

If you are going to get the CF mirror caps, your rear lip spoiler should match otherwise it will look funny. The black kidneys are also a good idea. Look into replacing your RFTs as well, and with the X-Drive aftermarket suspension can be a big improvement, in performance and aesthetics! I'd skip the black roof. If you don't have a CF roof, I don't see why you would bother.

Very nice!

Congrats.

Glad there's this thread, I pick up my first bimmer tomorrow same as above but in Blue !! Fancy the black kidney grills, black mirror caps, black shark fin and a black lip spoiler - Would love to see some examples if anyone's done similar !!

Oh and poss black alloys but don't want to go too much before it starts to look OTT.

+1 on all of the above!

Thanks for the advice - you may be right about the roof wrap. I just love the seamless look from rear to front with a black roof! Will hold off on that for now tho

I had the same thought about black rims - love the look but worried that it might be overkill.

I think the black kidneys arguably look the best on the Estoril blue.

Share some pics when you pick her up

Replace those front bumper reflectors too I say.

Did mine last night and IMO looks sooo much cleaner. It's easy to do (removing them), but what no one tells you is getting the foam/glue off the inner bumpers is a fk'n bitch, lmao.

It's not hard per se, just nit picky but as said, looks so much better when done. It's a cheap mod.

Nice ride btw!

Sick! I'm in the market of getting my first BMW right now, looking for a 335i.

JV973 · 07-21-2017, 01:15 PM

Congrats the car looks great, put all the performance parts and the car will look even better, you wont regret it.

BeamSupreme · 07-21-2017, 01:54 PM

@JV973 Thanks man - she's definitely going to be a head turner by the time Im finished with her

Keep looking! Lots of nice ones coming off lease. Lightly used and fairly priced. Mine came with only 18K miles

I'm considering the same car! It's a CPO 2014 f32 m sport, GS on red with the same wheels. How do you like the coral red interior? Do you think the lower dash being red is too much? Is there a reasonable amount of room in the back seats?

Was it a CPO car? Also, if you don't mind, what did you end up paying?

rphz · 07-21-2017, 09:33 PM

Congrats! Nice to see another F32 out there

I love the coral red and think it suits the GS perfectly. Lower dash looks great as well IMO

.

The backseat is nice and it is surprisingly roomy - but still the backseat of a coupe nonetheless! not a CPO but she is practically brand new

SoCal_NSX · 07-25-2017, 03:47 PM

congrats!!!

hoping to be getting one of those lightly used MSport 428i myself soon...looking for white with red, but will settle for silver or grey, as they look great also....such a beautiful looking car.

do what ever makes you happy, not what others think is cool or not.

I thinking wrapping the roof looks good and it also protects the paint at the same time..a win win...I wrapped my black NSX pearl white a few years ago and it still looks brand new. I love it!!!

first thing I would do is lower it. one of the quickest ways to make the car look even better.

delete front plate would be great, if your state isn't strict with that crap.

wheels would be my other mod topping my list...although the stock ones are pretty nice.

congrats on the new ride!!!

more pics!!!
