Fotios335i, been a while (f30 mperformance/DINAN)

FotiosF90M5 · 05-14-2014, 11:17 PM

It's been a long time since I've done some pictures of my car. I've been so busy with a new career, I'm now at BMW gallery in norwell MA as a client advisor. Awesome group to work for, come visit me please! Now that bmw's are actually my career and hobby my next project will be even funner I'm sure. My f30 is now how I wish it was from the start. Great handling, looks, and power. I finally love the car. A properly modded f30 is really a stunning car IMO. Next up MPERFORMANCE LSD!!! Cannot wait.

SPECS:
Msport kit retrofit incl. msport steering wheel
Full mperformance exterior/interior
P3 vent gauge
Morr alloys vs8.2 19/9 & 19/10 (10mm spacers fr)
Michelin supersports 1M sizes (245/35 & 265/35)
Dinan suspension kit (springs & bumpstops)
Dinan shockware download
Yellow Mperformance big brake kit
Dinan exhaust (matte black tips)
Mperformance power kit

I think that's it. What do you guys think?

Pictures spread out in 3 posts (scroll down)
Thanks!

All just iPhone pictures so not the best. I know my plate is showing but oh well. I don't have much time, It looks great in person. Come by BMW gallery NORWELL not norwood and see for yourselves

Take care guys.

Nice shots and the wheels looks great!

Presario · 05-15-2014, 03:12 AM

Looking great!! Always been a fan of your car. Nice work!

Jera_Jakerz · 05-15-2014, 04:03 AM

I don't even see your reflectors, please explain this upgrade/change out. Did you replace them or is it a part of the M-Performance package?

I've been debating doing Matte Black with every after market purchase:

Grill (obvious choice)
Whiskers (sport)
Reflectors
Spoiler
Exhaust

Perhaps even the sunroof (might be too much and probably pricey since I dont see a market out there).

Thanks guys!

I just popped them out then I wrapped them in gloss black. I left the mperformance front lip/splitter, side blades, and rear mperformance diffusor matte black. Rear spoiler painted same as car and mperformance gloss black grills.

Gorgeous car and very tastefully modded. Good to see such a nice example so close to me

Also nice to hear a fellow enthusiast is a CA! Do you commute up to Norwell from the Cape everyday? Can't imagine that's an easy ride.

Thank you!! I finally truly love the car now. I actually enjoy the drive. I've always been like that. The miles on the car will be rough but ill deal with it when the time comes. I like the norwell dealer. A lot of enthusiasts working there.

FotiosF90M5 · 05-15-2014, 05:58 PM

It's like a 35 minute drive for me.

Oh that's it? That's not bad at all. My parents are down in Orleans so I always use that as my point of reference. You must live much closer to the bridge. Sweet ride, hopefully I'll see it around.

CK335iMSport · 05-15-2014, 10:07 PM

Car looks great, love the Morr Wheels. Good contrast with the brake/wheel combo and the color of the car.

Nice...

Yup, right before the sagamore bridge. Sagamore Beach.

Thanks for the compliments guys!

The pics don't need a better camera as much as better lighting.... But the car is sweet!

ejfp83 · 05-16-2014, 06:49 AM

Very nice fotios335i ! Awesome car and loooove the Morrs !

FotiosF90M5 · 05-16-2014, 10:32 PM

I'm so glad you guys feel the same way I do. Thanks! It's certainly a fun car. Also with the shockware the comfort mode steering coupled with sport suspension makes for a very agile and precise car. Good fun to whip around in.

E90 Skye · 08-25-2014, 02:54 PM

Love it man!
Have loved your style ever since I saw that post years ago where you put the Alufelgen CS7s on your e90. Nice to see the F30 updates. (although I'm a little late on seeing this b/c I haven't been on the forum nearly as much)

335i_4D · 08-25-2014, 09:48 PM

Wow, the Michelin DO look fatter than other brands !

Not so sure anymore I want those, since I want to go 275/30R20 in the back...

Thanks man!! I work at a BMW dealership now so around them 24/7. Not as much time left for this forum. It's actually this forum that got me at BMW in the first place. I like this car as it is now. Great drive.

They are 265 with a 35 profile which is why they're so fat. Best tire available IMO.
