Hello all!
After 5 years of F31 ownership, today I confirmed my G30 sale and I'll be picking up the car on Wednesday next week.
I have to confess the test drive was brilliant but I'll be sad to see the 320d go.... My new car is a 520d M-Sport, couple of years old with 16,000 miles. It's a BMW ex-demo so it should be great. Looking forward to doing a few mods! What do you guys recommend first both physically and software wise?

I've got the option of installing the amp in the new car mind. Worth it? What would I need in terms of kit to do it as the new one has an ASM plus presume I'd need a new mounting bracket and adapter?

Congratulations! Looks like your new car has the ICON Full LED headlights? Presumably you get the fully functional "tunneling" effect we are denied in the US...

Great choice. I've also come from an F31 to the G31. The biggest shock is the refinement, even with stock M Sport suspension + 19" 664M. It is a leagues above my previous 18" 400M with adaptive suspension.
I also had the adaptive xenons on the F31, the icons are very very good. Lights up the roads.....I feel for the fool, who tries to flash me on a dark road. What other toys/options did you order? |

- Adaptive LED's - HUD - Pro Navigation - Full digital cockpit - Gesture control - HiFi Audio - Display Key - Backup camera - Park Assist - Active guard (not sure what this is) - WiFi hotspot - Wireless charging - Comfort access - Alarm - Load through system - 19" 664 wheels Extras I've ordered: - Gloss black kidney grills Extras I'd like to buy in time - Carbon rear spoiler I'm also looking into swapping my BimmerTech Premium Audio amp over. Worth it? I need the bracket and cable connector I presume, plus I need to remove the ASM. Just wondering if it's worth the time and effort!

IHMO Gesture control is a joke, I've disabled it. I also don't use the display key, you can get all the info from the connected drive app....when it works! |
