"I would be happier with my F30 if..." - BMW 3-Series Forum (F30 / F32)

SomeRandomer123 · 08-09-2012, 09:42 AM

A quick reply thread, unless you're +1ing!

Maybe you wished you just ticked that option box. Or didn't!
I'll start.

I would be happier with my F30 if the big block in front was the 30d, not 28i, not to say that I'm not enjoying my 328i! Brilliant engine, but I prefer the 30d.

And if you want to add a why:
330d wasn't on the market in time.

Or if you're completely satisfied, still post and tell us!

I wish I would have gotten sport seats. If it would not have been $100-150 more a month, I would have gotten an M-Sport lol.

Maz335i · 08-09-2012, 10:20 AM

I wish I got the HUD...

I wish I got the M Sport Package...

I wish, I wish, I wish...our "wish list" is always never ending....

YeaF30 · 08-09-2012, 10:37 AM

I wish I had gotten the Sport Automatic. I initially thought the only difference was the paddles. Didn't realize it was was more cosmetic upgrade to the shifter and "extremely fast synchronized shifting".

...if it was in my garage already.

Wish HID's were on more cars on the lot, out of 12 only 1 had it when i went and it was 57k!

oh yea... no steering wheel vibration!

--Sirius favorites gave off an audible alert instead of hoping you notice it on the screen
--I had sprung for the package that includes speed limits on the HUD
--it had more space to store stuff (a problem in all Bimmers, really)

I wish I had got the HK sound system, compass (I think that requires navigation), paddle shifters, sport seats.
I general I am happy with my 2012 335i
Konrad

P.S. I found the compass. I followed the directions in the manual about setting up the compass and it worked.

CoolDude196 · 08-09-2012, 12:10 PM

i wish it was a 30i f10...

more realistically: professional multimedia, msport and a 28i

great idea for a thread by the way!

Oh, and I'd like to add that I WISH I went with the Imperial Blue colour instead of the Alpine White. I knew I should've listened to my Mom!

Mahzari · 08-09-2012, 12:24 PM

I love my manual seats, but I can't seem to find the right seating position. I go from sitting too upright to too reclined.

Maybe one day...

emtrey · 08-09-2012, 12:25 PM

..it was not sitting in Baltimore. And, if it had hydraulic steering and the M sport steering wheel ( pre-emptive whining)

Why the change of heart on the Alpine white?

I had that problem in my E90! Not so much in my F30.

It had a cinema-style buttered popcorn maker and a kick-ass Pac-Man machine in the back.

ZMM_OMG · 08-09-2012, 01:45 PM

I haven't ordered mine yet, so this is a "pre-emptive" wish. I wish that BMW's product planners would get over themselves and open up the color palette so that people could order the car they want without being pigeon-holed into an arbitrary set of plastic and chrome bits (aka "lines").

Hmmm, I just like the look of Imperial Blue now. LOL

I like the White and Black contrast I've created on my car but the Blue and Black contrast would've looked better.

Someone posted a YouTube video on this forum with a professional instructor showing how the seat should be positioned. I followed the advice and am now much more comfortable in the car.

sr5959 · 08-09-2012, 02:26 PM

And I wish I'd ordered Sportline and the rear camera, and the Sport AT...

dcg71 · 08-09-2012, 02:33 PM

m-sport and more rubber in the rear.
