New addition : F30 320i M Sport and Performance Edition

Congratulations bud the 320i is surprisingly nippy in standard form and I can just imagine how she must pull in performance pack guise . Quite similar to a standard 328i I suspect which is no slouch

So after some physical investigation I have noticed that the inner part of the inner xenons headlights do not work at all except for the rings.

Is this true and any reasoning to why ??:skit:

I checked my lights now that you pointed it out and there certainly doesn't seem to be anything in the inner bits. Guess it's just for "legacy" looks because one angel will look a bit odd?

So started with some minor customization on the ride with the carbon fibre badges via one of the Forum sponsors, Mo (Auto X-CESSORIZE). Big ups to Mo for the service and asssitance to also take the time to install the badges for me. :clapper::clapper:

Pictures of the ride with the normal badges :

We still awaiting for the steering wheel ones as well as the side markers and M signs for the wheels. I have also removed the M badge from the boot lid and put a Carbon M badge on the grill. Think it looks quite nice on the gloss black grills but still not sure if it should stay or be removed or stolen if parked in a public place:RedNo:

So looking at now doing the 335i exhaust look setup. Obviously because of plan it would have to be dummy pipes on the right. Would love to get the carbon/black tailpipes as well as a supplier or forum member that can do this sort of thing. Any suggestions or recommendations ?

So managed to get myself a set of style M 433 M6 Gran Coupe Reps wides and narrows this past week which I fitted this past weekend. Must say i've got mixed feelings so hope to hear some feedback from you guys both positive and negative if any. I love the stance it has created at the back however from the side view in my view it seem to look smaller than the oem 19. Will contemplate spacers in time if they stay. They are 8.5j and 9.5 j but both have a ET 42 Offset. Any way see pics below for your view and comments :coolShake::coolShake:

Took the opportunity to autosol the M calipers and disks while the wheels were getting changed. Must say it broke me to have to take a full set of wheels and tyres in the back seat and boot and then return home with the new wheels fitted and the oem rims and tyres in the back and front seat and boot. BTW, the OEM 19's are kept away and not for sale.

Would love that but then the motor plan is a concern and then with the front lip and our wonderful roads and speed humps I can only imagine the challenge :skit:
