This really is an upgrade as far as we are concerned. We miss the performance of the 135i but that is it! Looking forward to putting many miles on this.

Stunning!!! Love the red stitching on the steering and bits. Just watch if that baby seat don't make ugly dents in your seat. Otherwise, Congrats :thumbs:

Wow congrats! Lovely spec:thumbs:

 

[Sabretooth tiger]

Damn! Thats nice:inlove:

 

[Robink]

Thanks guys for the congrats! Drives like a dream. Gone is the hard bumpy ride and cramped interior.

BMW claims 4.4l/100 and my wife has already seen 4.5! Brilliant considering the engine is still tight. OBD states we should get around 922kms on the first tank. Incredible for this size vehicle. And she is not a slouch either!

To confirm: the colour is Mineral Grey.

Is that a Canon L Lens? The red and black matches the trim of the car! Nice ride.

To confirm: the colour is Mineral Grey.

Looks very close to Sparkling Graphite, maybe just a bit lighter. Does it have any other colour shades when you look at it in different types of light? With the Sparkling Graphite there is a purple and brown element apart from just the grey overall colour. :=):

 

[Robink]

Not exactly sure how it resembles sparkling graphite but I think it could be very similar. Not sure about the different shades yet but will check.

Yes 135L and good observation lol never noticed hehe thanks!

One other thing I'm really glad for, although this car has narrower tyres at the back (compared to the 135i) the balance into a corner is better because the grip levels are the same front and back due to the same size tyres all round. More body roll than the 135i but this just seems there is now less understeer. Staggered wheel setups look better but compromise the handling. I want to take this test to the track to compare the two cars better.

Well, the F30 seems to be a very well balanced car and the suspension set up is really good, especially with regards to the newer generation RFT's. I just remember it feeling very light on its feet compared to my E90! :thumbs:
