F34 340i GT One Year Ownership

Salute F34 family! Been following the threads for years but I’m finally getting active on the internet by making an account and Youtube channel (SupremeF34) and I wanted to intro my 2018 F34 340i GT M Sport in BSM! I had a 2014 F34 328i GT sport line from 2018-2021 but it got totaled due to a flash flood in Houston last summer so I got the 340. Coming up on one year of ownership and I'm loving the B58. Only issue so far was the lower auxiliary radiator failure about a month ago, super easy DIY fix. I also recently did a full F34 interior swap with a DIY series on Youtube. Mods/additions so far are:

Bimmercode coding

Interior:
Full Red Leather Interior swap
M Style Pedal Covers
BMW All-weather floormats
BMW All-weather trunk mat
Red Start/Stop Button
Sunglasses Holder

Exterior:
Full Front End PPF
Ceramic Coating
Ceramic Tint
TLG Mud Flaps
CF M Style Mirror Caps
Gloss black dual-slat kidney grilles
Red V-brace wrap
Gloss black-edged roundels
Gloss black badges
Smoked Sequential Mirror Blinkers
Floating center caps
BMW LED Door Projector Lights w/ M slides

Performance Mods:
Highflow Downpipe
Red FTP Chargepipe w/ HPS Extended Coupler

Repairs:
Lower Auxiliary Radiator Replacement w/ extra fog light trim piece

Planning to tune Stage 2 soon after the driveline service is complete. I also just ordered some GTS style tail lights and will do a DIY install video as soon as they come in. It would be awesome if you guys subscribed to my YouTube channel and showed some love on there! Hit me on Instagram and I’ll follow back @supremef34

Here’s some photos of her from stock to now. 3GT gang !

I have seen your channel, clean car and nice to see actual content for an "unpopular" model. I have a pre LCI N55 but keep an eye on the channel regardless. Unrelated, but it drives me nuts there are virtually NO lip options for the pre LCI non-M sport front bumper. Any rear hatch / roof spoilers you know of that aren't too aggressive looking? Not the active spoiler but an add on one for top of the glass.

You painted those front crossbars behind the grill, I've been wanting to do that to match the body color since I got mine. It looks so damn slick. Nice ride.

Wow! VERY impressive!

Unfortunately, F34's are getting to be difficult to find. I did a BMWCPO.com lookup yesterday and very little inventory.

Mine was $600 in gloss CF a year ago. I'd prefer in PP or similar, but the F34 market is so niche, no one bothers with injection molding and go straight for hand made CF.

Dude great build! Where did you get the black/edged badges? Only ones I’ve seen are from Thic Whip and they are ridiculously expensive.

Thank you sir. I got the same ones..they were $220 and I agree they weren’t cheap but the quality is on point so that helps numb the pain. There’s a few other places you can get them though.

ugh, envy that you were able to do an interior swap.

I have had oyster interior on my black GC, and after 5 years (+2 of previous owner) ownership, its looking tired.
