Glacier Silver with painted reflectors.. - BMW 3-Series Forum (F30 / F32)

matt_335Ci · 04-11-2012, 07:41 PM

well i finally got my F30 this week, it was a painful 8 weeks, but well worth the wait. the first 150 miles have been excellent, i am really enjoying having a larger car (and 4 doors) after turning in my e89 z4.

i will share more pics this weekend, but i wanted to give a quick shout out to my man LongTran (PM - longtran@ltbmw). i have done business with him in the past, and he was able to make me a set of painted reflectors before all the typical bimmer vendors online. he does high quality work, so if you are interested in a clean look go with some painted reflectors from LongTran (obviously only required for US cars with the stupid orange reflectors).

aside from the painted reflectors i just had 20% ceramic tint installed on all the windows.

20 more pics below, on this page

LT, I need a set of Mineral White painted reflectors for my 335i that is shipping currently!

bl@ster · 04-11-2012, 08:32 PM

Woah, Matt, that silver looks damn fine! Congrats! Great contrast w/ the murdered out sport line trim. Wow.

yerffejleahcim · 04-11-2012, 08:38 PM

Congrats! Nice to see a silver F30. Please post more pics when you can. Rear and interior please.

RASHID007 · 04-11-2012, 08:46 PM

Wow that's awesome! Thank you for posting pics as you're one of the first and few with glacier silver. Love it! My glacier 335i is on order and I can't wait!

matt_335Ci · 04-11-2012, 09:05 PM

thx everyone, I will post pics this weekend after I give her first bath.

npgatech · 04-11-2012, 09:56 PM

Oh heck yeah! She is a beauty! Congrats Matt! I might have to hit you up sometime after I get my car to get it tinted.

matt_335Ci · 04-11-2012, 11:42 PM

although AZ doesn't require a front license plate, and i ordered after that nasty front bulge was standard issue, i am still unhappy with the front fascia of the F30. i have had several BMWs and NONE of them have these horrible dimples, i assume for states that require plates, on the front bumper!

i guess the 2015 F30 LCI will take care of these.

svache · 04-12-2012, 01:14 AM

Awesome looking car and color, Matt! The silver color turned out beautiful!

I agree, those two holes in the bumper are pretty nasty still. In a way I'm glad I have to have a front plate lol =)

PrinceBarin · 04-12-2012, 01:29 AM

Congratulations!

Man, I love that colour. Your car looks awesome.

Anyway, thanks for getting some pics up so fast. Looking forward to seeing/hearing more about your car soon

Weaselboy · 04-12-2012, 07:30 AM

That color really contrasts nicely with the black trim. Looks great.

TiAg330i · 04-12-2012, 07:49 AM

Painted reflectors are such an improvement on the F30. Nice job. More photos please!

wdlv · 04-12-2012, 11:05 AM

@ matt_335Ci, did you also paint the rear reflectors? Just wondering. If so, guess you'll update with pics.

All the best, and thanks for representing Glacier Silver!

Zirenz2006 · 04-12-2012, 03:10 PM

Looks great!

I just ordered a pair of sapphire black reflectors from Longtran. The painted reflectors make a huge difference.

no LongTran offered them to me, but i kinda like the red reflectors in the rear.

I don't mind the ones in the back either and don't plan on changing them to painted...not a bad idea to keep them if you parked on the side of the road at night.
