330D F30 M Sport Photos (UK) - BMW 3-Series Forum (F30 / F32)

TXR301 · 06-13-2012, 06:54 AM

Featured on BIMMERPOST.com

Please forgive the fairly poor quality/staging of these photos, but I thought members might be interested.

I work in Canary Wharf, London, and they have brought along a pre-production F30 330D M-Sport.

There have been many pictures of the M-Sport exterior, but I figured users may be interested in the standard interior (although I think this one had a few options on it - HK stereo for one).

If you have any specific requests, let me know and I'll try and get out there and snap it for you before it disappears at the end of the week.

Pictures below;

Nice pics, thanks for sharing

. M-sport looks amazing.

Rossifumi · 06-13-2012, 08:07 AM

The front looks nice, but I am almost willing to trade my (coming) M-sport rear for the regular rear bumber.

Micleg · 06-13-2012, 09:27 AM

Thanks for the pics! It didn't happen to have a heated steering wheel, did it?

martinf79 · 06-13-2012, 09:34 AM

Am I the only one that can't see the pics? Only get red "x's"???

Eric Tsang · 06-13-2012, 02:22 PM

If you go back, can you go in the evening? I want to see the color with different types of lighting haha

ikonic · 06-13-2012, 03:04 PM

Thanks for these pictures.

Best ones yet in terms of seeing how the car will look day-to-day.

Car looks great...... Really can't wait for mine now!

TXR301 · 06-13-2012, 03:18 PM

Sorry Eric, but it doesn't get dark here until gone 2100 this time of year!

Weather forecast is grim for tomorrow, so I will get some miserable snaps.

It looks like the back bumper isn't as low the standard f30. I'm not really feeling the side skirts but the front looks fantastic.

Saucebawce · 06-13-2012, 08:40 PM

guys i completely forgot when m sport is available to but.. do u guys know when that is?

Save Bluth · 06-13-2012, 09:05 PM

Do you recall seeing blue thread in the steering wheel? Doesn't look like it from the pics. But, another thread on this has a close up of a "stock photo" and the blue thread is present.

Just curious.

That car have a lot of options on it, looks like nearly every item on the list bar sunroof.

the M-sport front bumper looks amazing and it took away my attention to the not so nice hood line.

+1. The front is successful, but the rear bumber is the section that ruin this car for me..

I hope it looks better in real life or that an AC Schnitzer diffuser (or another brand) will make it look better. A nicer exhaust will probably make up for it too, the two (for a 335i) tiny pipes looks way to small for a car with the size and performance that the 335 has.

I read a lot of discussions here on the forum, regarding manual or automatic transmission, but it is noticable that BMW are presenting the F30 330D M-Sport with automatic transmission....

Here in Sweden the automatic transmission is standard on the 330d. I am not sure if it's the same on all markets though.

Hello mate - I leant in and had a proper look today. I'm a bit rubbish with colour, but I'm pretty sure that the stitching on the steering wheel was black, not blue.

I'll try and take a closeup tomorrow when the sun has gone in - the light seems to blow out the contrast on my phone's camera.

It is Auto-only in the UK market, as I understand.

Don't think it's available in manual anywhere in the world, even in Germany it's only available in auto.
