Arrived:) - F31 Alpine white, Red leather

Well I finally picked her up today. Will take some better photos tomorrow.

Not long after I got it back to work I started changing over the front grilles and also stuck the M Performance mats in.





















Better photos tomorrow hopefully!

Cheers, only 14 miles today, shame it was dark when I got back. Will look forward to some proper driving and photography tomorrow

Note for anyone doing the grilles, web says to take the bonnet seal off and 8 torx bolts... in the end managed to do it without any need to take any of that off. Fingers through the grill slats does the trick.

Loving the parking assist, speed limit display, and HUD more than anything at the moment

Bet you are, hopefully a nice day for you! Are the rear lights LEDs, and if so is that part of M-Sport / Visibility or just F31 standard?

I am not sure, I had a feeling there were not LED typically how BMW do it for the non-facelift. But be interested to know also?

Cheers

With those wet roads I bet it didn't stay clean for long. Did you give it a quick wipe over before you took the pics?

No lol, maybe I should have though - it is a little dirty, mainly on the back below the window.

Awesome mate, white with red leather looks amazing and that is the best looking F31 I have seen. Any more upgrades to come?

Some more photos today after a clean. Washed the M3 as well so it features in a few. Must admit the F31 is standing it's ground well I think on looks. Rear is no contest mind you.

F31 is still wet (my drying clothes were too wet).

Enjoy...























Some fake looking HDR's... (good for seeing calipers etc)
