Project F30 328i Alpine White M Sport

TriniGT · 01-14-2023, 12:18 PM

Only issue I have encountered with the F30 is that when I put the IHKA air con setup on AUTO it would work fine for the first five minutes or so and then revert to routing the air through the lower footwell vent and rear vents only and the forward facing and upper windscreen vents would not get air.

If I switch to regular forward facing/ NON-AUTO it works fine.

Any thoughts are welcome.

Was finally able to install my H&R Super Sport springs along with my F80 bumpstops and 437M Wheels.

I am most happy with the outcome, it has changed the appearance dramatically.

I did however notice that the rear struts are shot so those are on order. Changing those are pretty easy as they are separate from the springs and honestly just to remove the wheels, get the car in the air and lower the rear spindle and swap bumpstops and refit, maybe an hour job all in.

Next on the list is to retrofit the NBT headunit along with upgraded controller and screen and program, hoping I don't encounter any hiccups.

After that would be to fit all the M Performance exterior items and swap the catback for the 335i piece and I should be well on the way to completion.
