I picked up this back in August after getting bit by the wagon bug. I test drove the Allroad and C300 wagon, but this little beauty won me over. Funny enough, my wife didn't much like BMW until we took it out for a test drive, then she says "now I know why they are so popular".

We don't see many wagons around here, even the dealer asked "why a wagon?", I'm like, "why not a wagon!" I thought it was a pretty unique car and I guess it is around my neighborhood but when I look around this site, white F31's are pretty damn common!

It's an 2017 330i, M-sport performance package. All stock, not much planned other than some window tint, maybe a slight audio upgrade after reviewing a few threads here and I picked up the parts to add a 12v outlet to the rear of the console, also from a thread here.

It was ok, decent power (all 3 were comparable) but the handling was a bit soft. If purchased I would have lowered it so that was a non-issue for me. The virtual dash layout was really nice. In the end, for whatever reason I just couldn't get comfortable in the car whereas the F31 fit me like a glove. Funny because before setting up test drives in all 3, the Allroad was top of my list by far. After the the test drive I just thought "hmm, it was just ok but nothing really pulled me in"

Welcome! Did you get yours from Auto West BMW? The sales there asked me the same question too, when I bought mine from there.

Congrats! I love my F31. You don't need to do much to improve the look. HR springs and wheels make a big difference.
