New F32 Estoril Blue M sport

cdwalls · 10-10-2017, 01:51 PM

EDIT: This has evolved into a timeline thread.

So happy with my 435i M sport. I'm coming from about 6 years of Volkswagen ownership so this is a giant leap in quality and performance. I have done a few small mods so far and plan on doing a few more, but nothing too wild. I've installed JB Stage 1, shaved the front sidemarkers, installed M4 grilles, tinted all of the glass, installed LCI tailights, and installed a colormatched quad rear valence. I have H&R super sport springs at home and plan to purchase wheels this spring. Also looking into the M sport front lip and side skirts, as well as the Remus quad exhaust.

I look forward to hearing your feedback and learning more about the car!!

Here are some pictures of my old VW

LCI Tails look great, where did you get them from and if I may ask how much did you pay (Were the lights and harness seperate)?

Thanks! I loved those as well. Wish I had those exact wheels for my 435.

Got my bimmercode and adapter today and did some coding. worth every penny. M Performance logo doesn't show up on my cluster like it should though.

Dang3r · 10-13-2017, 12:59 AM

You maybe forget something at coding

Love the color and the car, reminds me at mine, every F32 is better than the 3 series

Would suggest you to hear a BASTUCK exhaust, not a fan of Remus. Plus Bastuck quad tip exhaust muffler is available with a matching ABS diffusor, for Remus you had to cut the OEM one.
How about CF mirror caps or wrapping those EBII into glossy black?

I'm thinking that coding only works with specific models with nav. I'll take a listen to BATSUK. As for the mirror caps, those will probably stay! How could you cover up that gorgeous blue

I considered the M4 style color-matched estoril blue but I'm not sure if I want to do that yet.

ronanz · 10-14-2017, 09:05 AM

I've done a couple things to my EBII if interested...may give you some ideas...

The color is gorgeous, but for me it must have some accents to differ from the lot. I'd first wrapped the mirror caps and changed them later to CF caps. Liked them very much plus you hadnt seen this at every street corner

Had also CF M4 trunklid installed and considered to change the diffusor also into CF but that was at least only a plan to do sometimes. Never realized this before sold the car.
