2013 328i Sport Line getting close.......well.....for now. - BMW 3-Series Forum (F30 / F32)

phishhead24 · 01-30-2013, 11:00 PM

I went through the military program at Pentagon Auto in Rota, Spain to build this car. I am new to the BMW community, but I am very excited to see all of the ways to make this car truly mine. I have a few pics that I took right around sunrise the other day, but I am not done just yet. I have H&R sport springs, HID high beam kit, and M Performance pedal kit yet to install, but I will get to that soon. Comments and feedback would be great! Thanks everyone!

Here are a few more after the HID low beam and fog light kits were installed.

phishhead24 · 02-20-2013, 11:59 PM

And now that she is lowered.......

More pics to come!

Awesome car in a great color; I just love how the MW shines in the sun! The mods look great too. So, what branch of service are you in? I hope your deployment went well and that you're enjoying your time back in the States with your new car. I am for sure, and I wholeheartedly agree, after the MEU, I deserved a new toy to come home to!

If you ever get down to the Camp Lejeune area let me know and we'll go for a drive. Might make you regret getting the 328, though...

I was in the Navy for 14 years and now I am heading back to school. I understand the wait my friend! I sat out to sea for over a year configuring my car and it was all worth the time and effort to get it right. I enjoy the hell out of this car and so far it has only gotten better with more miles. I am not far from you down there, so I would love to get together! PM me with your contact info and we will hook it up one weekend. Be safe down range brother!

awesome car man, i bought a mineral grey while i was in England and something the sales person didn't tell me was that I had to pay the sales tax that i didn't pay in England once i got to USA. I PCS to Arizona and had to pay 15% for the sales tax that was $2,070!!!! I went to the on base attorney and sure shit i had to pay. It all depends on the state you go to register the car so just a little info that i didn't get enjoy.

Yeah the tax is a bitch! Luckily, Virginia only charges 3% on new car registering. I think I had to pay just under 1K for taxes, tags, and title. Not too bad considering. At least you got it for a good deal cheaper in the long run! I can trade my car in right now and they would owe me close to $25000 over what I owe! It is a nice feeling to be on the positive side of equity for a change! Thanks for the compliments! Where are the pics of your car?

schnell13 · 02-21-2013, 09:57 PM

Same thing happened to me. No sales tax coming out of Europe but had to pay it when I registered the vehicle in Texas. At first, the base price of the car was taxed, which wasn't too bad. Later on, though, my dad gets a letter from the state saying that sales tax should have been levied against the ENTIRE PURCHASE PRICE, and that I still needed to pay the difference. Very frustrating indeed.

Well shit.......I hope that doesn't happen to me, but knowing Virginia........it will! To hell with this commonwealth tomfoolery!

The_Rodfather · 02-22-2013, 01:18 PM

the pictures are coming Im waiting to put my rims before i show it to the world...LOL right now its lowered on H&R Super Sports. but soon my friend soon...

Straight6Driver · 02-22-2013, 01:54 PM

Digging the wheels, suit the car very well. Are the HIDs all 6000K or 5000K, looks 5000K in the pic.

phishhead24 · 02-22-2013, 04:58 PM

All are 6000K. They look about as perfect as possible for after market. Thanks for the compliment on the wheels, though I have had a few issues with the lip flaking the black off. It is a shame, but I am going to get them powdercoated to protect them soon anyways.

CBBMW-F30 · 02-22-2013, 08:49 PM

Love the ride!

Who makes the HID fogs lamps. Was is a plug and play install for the fogs?

Thanks brother. The HID kit comes from (Undergroundeuros.com). It is basic plug and play. I watched the tech do it and it was very straight forward.

DrivenByE30 · 02-23-2013, 02:58 AM

Very nice Wheels, i love those stance!
Nice mods all around, i like how the whole package is tastefully done...

and the lights too.

What Offset do you have there? a bit wide no?

Alpine F31 · 02-23-2013, 02:31 PM

You know........I was VERY worried that they were going to rub after I lowered it, but they are absolutely perfect. They are +38 rear for your reference.
