New addition : F30 320i M Sport and Performance Edition

[Kishore]

So after letting go of my 2011 LCI 320d M sport some months back to a fellow forum member I found myself getting that BMW itch again. Was in no real hurry but was looking for the right one. Ideally I was after a F30 320d M sport with 19 wheels and in white and then I saw this. When I saw this car , from the front view I was sold until I walked around to the back badge and immediately said no. Luckily the sales manager who is also a friend at the dealership managed to convince me to go for a test drive. Boy or boy without disrespect to fellow forum members of the E90 320i , in my mind the 320i was no fun but the F30 320i with the Sport auto box with pedal shifts is simply amazing. So long story short I quickly went on line and read up on the performance edition and also read the posts on the forum and realized that this car is 1 of 500 produced.

Pretty decent spec , 2014 Dec model , registered on ENATIS as a 2015 which is great for car value , almost fully spec besides not having PDC (CAN YOU BELIEVE IT). Previous owner fitted a aftermarket PDC and I am busy trying to find something for the super low front. Quite like the wireless camera and screen as it is easy from a installing perspective but still looking. Any guidance here will be appreciated.



So here she is the first day I saw her after the test drive that left me smiling :

Like I said the spec on her is pretty much everything except pdc. Also has navigation, HD storage, extended cluster ETCCCCCCCC.

Thanks Bud and yes that M badge if only it was smaller . Been also reading your thread on your last F30 320I which was well done. No mods yet on the 320D ??

So after driving this for a few day, you start noticing other F30's and look at whats different. One thing I've noticed and maybe its just me but my Xenon rings have a sort of eyebrow on them wheres as the older F30's don't , does this mean my model lights had a slight change before the 2016 spec ??

Hey Bud

Thanks, been waiting for you to post some pics of your new ride for all the members to see the beauty she is

Congrats Kishore

:in-love: ooo let's switch, I've always preferred the white one over the Melbourne Red hehe. Congrats on the purchase she is quite the looker, For some odd reason or the other the ///M badge at the back does seem out of place. Congrats again she is a beauty that's for sure.

 

[Jerez]

That's a high spec'd car...nice

 

[Kishore]

So since I bought her, the disks and brake pads clean up was a priority on my list and finally managed to get this down on Sunday.

Although she still has low mileage the calipers had built up some brake pad stains.

After a sponge and soap water clean up and not forgetting the one and only AUTOSOL :
