Didn't lower but I do have the sport suspension. Rear looks a little lower since I still have all 4 stock wheels in the back.

Also, if I got it lowered as well for 2500, I would be pretty concerned...you get what you pay for.

lol ... that must be why it looks lowered ... cause it definitely looks lower than stock sport suspension. You should just drive around w/ the wheels in the back all year round ...

And a few bags of concrete in the front!

MAZ, your enthusiasm is needed to answer my question. What does the drive display look like if you don't get enhanced bluetooth with bmw assist and the cradle?


Oh and by the way, in general...my wife thinks Estoril might be a girly colour and says she wants to see it in person before she's OK with it. I'd like to say "F**kin broads" but I am actually listening to her on this one. It's not girly, is it?

you just have to use the standard ipod/iphone cable not the y cable.

No way!

If I could get an M Sport, it would've been Estoril Blue for sure. Melbourne Red looks more girly to me IMO.

Go with EB and get the black interior. DON'T GO EB WITH Coral Red! Now that is something different!

I'll let you know about the iDrive once I pick up my car. The display should not be different, only the way you operate it would.

I tried convincing my CA to add the BMW Apps and BMW Assist but it was all too late for me. I would've gotten a 2013 and missed out on the deal if I insisted.

For you, if your budget allows you to spend money after getting the M Sport 335i, I would first spend it on the M Sport Brakes (blue colored ones) and then on the M Adaptive Suspension. Anything else comes after these...

Good Luck!

Could you please PM me where you picked these up?
Thank Balzz!

Yeah...there will have to be a tradeoff somewhere because I couldn't stomach a $70k price tag for a 3 series. I won't decide on anything until I can see a M sport on a lot and actually drive it.

But I agree with you. I'd add the brakes, 19 inch wheels, and adaptive suspension for the same cost as extended bluetooth and BMW apps. That's a pretty good tradeoff.

With the Y-cable, if all you miss out on is the extra strong phone signal and the ability to play music via bluetooth, then was I wrong to think the actual on-screen display looks different when connecting via y-cable as opposed to the cradle?

My thoughts exactly also.....I am also on the fence and prefer the drive and direct control of the 6 speed manual but I am also very impressed by the 8 speed auto.......I would have never considered the previous generation automatic

I'm planning on trading in my stock luxury rims for a set of winter wheels from the dealer. Has anyone done this before?

Any suggestions?

My car is now so close, I can't wait!!!

Who else are picking up their car in a couple of weeks?

Bosz you must be very close?

Should get it by 1st week of Aug at the latest! Btw I found a place that carries those M5 replica rims in Toronto... They only have the 18's tho. However he said he doesnt mind fitting it onto the F30 to see if it fits or not. Im sooooo tempted to get em...

Yeh I'll probably get those M5 rims for winter only. 18" with the Michelin X-Ice would be perfect; or I may go for the VMR V710 for winter. Still deciding...

I'm really tempted to get the Stance SC5 for the summer: they look awesome!

Can't wait to see your beast the BSM 335i!!!

My car is almost here. It's sitting all alone at the Halifax port. I should be getting by the 15th!

[Maz335i]

Quick Question guys:

I'm planning on going for the Hankook Ventus V12 evo K110 tire on my new wheels (19" or 20").

Is this a good selection or should I choose something else?

LOL

My dealer is quite helpful but I've been tracking everything online. My car was supposed to reach Halifax on the 1st, instead it reached there late night on the 29th of June.

Maybe your's is on the same boat as mine?

Check what boat your's is on...

Hankook would be the value proposition compared to the other choices you have ie., Bridgestone, Pirelli, etc.
