Hi from Fort Lauderdale.
Looks like I came to the right place, a BMW Wagon thread with an International flare.

I picked up a new 2015 328x Diesel the other day.
Yes, 4-wheel drive in flat Florida and the cold weather package with heated seats. (Not making this up)
Also Driver assist and some other stuff.
Got a good deal on the car as most Americans don't like no Station Wagons, and they don't like no Diesel engines. This wagon had been sitting on the lot for a long time, but now it found a good home.

So far I like it a lot. The color combo was also what I had been looking for: Tan interior and burl walnut wood trim. Dangerously light-colored interior, will have to tell my buddies to take a shower and don clean clothes before the go for a ride.

I picked up my 2015 320xd this May. Im really happy with it. my second BMW after a f20 18d. I ordred it with some MPerformance part to make it pop. Front bumber, side skirt, grill/kidney, tailpipes and roofspoiler.

Also my first post on this forum

Hi all! Newcomer to these here forums but not new to the F31.

Mine is a 2013 Imperial Blue F31 328i xDrive, base with Premium, Nav, and the rearview camera & parking assist. No real frills - exactly how I wanted it. Build date 08/2013, obtained Halloween 2013. A bit abused (thanks, NJ/NY roads) but otherwise a blast to drive!

The day I got it: (had a crappy phone camera back then, apologies for the horrible quality)


A year to the day I got it: (better quality, still a phone camera, apologies)


Last Saturday, before taking it on a spirited drive in NJ/PA/NY tri-state area:


I have some plans for my baby - will take better pics once those plans come to fruition!

Anyone have photos of an Alpine White 2016 US-spec F31 with ZMP and ZTR? None of our configurators are capable of picturing the combo. I've got one on order for Performance Center Delivery towards the end of October. Wondering (of course) about the ZTR wheels.

I like your plates, basically says 'Nice car' in Swedish

Edit: haha, guess you're Norwegian since you have that norwegian badge at the trunk.

"Edit: haha, guess you're Norwegian since you have that norwegian badge at the trunk."

Yup, born and raised in Norway, then realized it was too cold, too expensive, too clean and too organized so I emigrated to the U.S.
Peeled off that red/blue Norwegian Flag badge though, too many colors back there, looked a bit "soupy" with the Orange/green from the Florida plate, then the flag sticker, then the taillights, then the BMW logo.
Will get a plate with red/blue instead, but then limited to 5 letters. Any suggestions?

Here are some roof cargo box photos from yesterday (testing fitting for upcoming trip). It's a Thule Ascent 1700 rebranded by Volvo. I'll eventually remove the Volvo badge and replace it with a Thule or BMW logo.

Got my 2014 BMW 328d last weekend from a guy in Florida. Every option w/ only 10k miles. He special ordered w/ European delivery. This is my first post of her.

Already getting deep in mods:
Matte M Performance Lip added, Matte Kidney Grille added, Verde Axis 20x9 & 20x10.5 245/35/20 & 275/30/20 Tires.

Adding M Performance Rocker Panel Decals this weekend. Wish the M3 hood fit the F30/31, would love that look.

Live in Houston area. Would be great to meet up with other F31 owners in the area.

[johnleeman]

Rocker Panels DIY installed this morning.

Able to get out and take some nice photos.

Loved the way it turned out.

Glad to be a part of this thread. Loving my F31.

Looks exactly like my future car will including the cargo box on top (without the Volvo logo) :-)

I am really enjoying it. When driving you are not really aware of it since you are looking our front.

I think it gives the car a nice edge.

Great Rack! I need to pick up a rack. Next purchase...

I see, yeah Florida seems like a sunnier place than any scandinavian country. Trying to come up with something typical Norwegian but the only thing that comes to my mind just like that is black metal related

[Norseman]

Aye, no Black Metal needed. (Is that a band or some crazy music style)
I am a fan of elevator music only: Neutral, faint and way in the background

So, uh need 5 letters for my new license plate. Anybody?
Does not have to be Norse, not cute, macho or clever either...

[dubdemand]

Johnleeman - Looks great! Lovely car and great colour combo

I get my 330d F31 in a few weeks and will add pics once it arrives!

Kat's Modified F31...

[HU]

Will have to make room for a new F36 next week. Little sad to let her go, had a great time together.

[dubdemand]

Have already uploaded these (and more) in my photo's thread but thought I'd add them here too as it's the official F31 section
