Awesome looking F31, and if the front was a little lowered it'd be perfrect.

Thank you... VMR has done both Audi and BMW proud Thanks for at all the positive responses. I'm shocked really cause it's only been my first month with the car and the BMW family. Quote:

I'm just riding on H&R Sport springs. My car has the adaptive suspension and I didn't want to lose the functionality of the adjustable suspension from the click of a button from inside the car.
The ride is actually superb IMO. In Comfort mode I could actually see myself going on long road trips without sacrificing ride comfort and in Sport mode it's 80% comparable to the dampening that I had with KW V1's. |

I suspect that through more iterations and software calibration that this will be a non-issue in future generations of the BMW EPS. Last edited by F31MSport; 09-24-2014 at 09:54 PM.. |

Saw this and had to stop by and pay you some wagon-love. Gorgeous ride my friend. Don't you wish one of the M Performance add-ons was a bigger engine?
If they offered that, I'd be all over this one. As it stands tho, I'm praying to every last Norse God that the AMG Merc C wagon that just bowed today is coming over here... |

Great looking wagon! Clean and
You should go check out the thread where a 328i F31 with jb4 and downpipe I think is making 4.8s 0-60! #sleeper. Hope the diesel treats you well. Welcome |

as much as I try, I just can't love the station wagon lines.... too much like a little bus. silly American I guess. it's the 335i sedan or 435i Gran Coupe for me.

Very nice. I'm shopping for a 328d wagon for my wife and hopefully your pics will seal the deal since she's not so fond of the wagon style.
I ran 255 squared on my f30 and the handling was very neutral. As for steering feel, my 02 Camry did better....

Bunker, I'm with you as a former owner of an E90 335d with sport package. Drop that engine into the F31, and you'd have the ultimate sleeper/rocket. Gawd, did that engine pull. Like it better than the E9x M3's high-strung V-8, and I believe the d accelerated from 80 to 120 mph more quickly than the M3. Sure felt that way. (My home state of Arizona has some excellent highways -- glass smooth and lightly patrolled -- one can access to test such theories. When I had my E9x M3, during one trip back from LA I got behind a Mercedes with consulate plates and we ripped through the nighttime AZ desert at 130 mph, nary a cop in sight. Who needs the autobahn and Germany's $9/gal gas?) Anyway, I digress. F31sport, yours is a stellar and classy machine, and I hope you enjoy many happy miles dipping into that TD torque while smiling as you pass on the fuel stop for another day. Brilliant! |

Congrats, looks really good.
Got my 335xd Touring //M Sport and drove about 6000 km since Aug 1st. Suspensions were floating so I changed it and replaced it by Schnitzer Rennsportfahrwerk. Car is a little lowered and the handling is now fantastic. Even with the original 18" it sticks to the road. Ordered Breyton GTR wheels in 19" now, believe this will even more improve the handling. No understeering at all, and oversteering under wet circumstances if I really want it. Really surprised about the x-Drive system |

Top notch! It is making me want to trade in my manual 328i e91, and I didn't think that would happen!

Bro - this wagon is HOT !!
I sold my X5M garage queen - leasing a 2012 S4 currently and commute 100 kms a day as well. Was thinking about this wagon. How does it pull on the highway? Is there a tune for this wagon? What was the cost for the M performance side blades? Did you get the front splitter and rear diffuser as well? Hoping to get the Yas Marina blue color but I hear BMW will not let one custom order an ///M specific color, so Estoril Blue with shadowline black on black will be the color!
