BoogeyMan'sBMW · 02-11-2016, 02:15 PM

Wow, this is a nice wagon.

swagon · 02-11-2016, 02:30 PM

I am regretting so much getting a 320d instead of a 325/330 in manual.

The wagon looks purdy, man. Those BBS'!!!

Yeh I love the BBS - not cheap though & they make me paranoid when I have to use the car in multi-storey car parks or even remotely close to kerbs!!

320d's are still a very capable car! I think it's much rarer to find 325/330d manuals though!

They are VERY rare. Especially LCI M Sports. I wouldn't mind the auto if it was the newer ZF 8-speed... It's much worse now cuz 95% of F31's are xDrive 4-pots.

How's the ride on Bilstein and H&R's, though? I'll be swapping the stock M Sport suspension for the B12 Bilstein kit soon.

Yep Oyster/Black Dakota with Individual Piano Black Inlay Trim.

Was really lucky as I found a forum member who hated the trim and wanted to swap it. So I drove down to him & swapped my silver hex trim for this!

It looks really good in the e9x, I loved it on e39s but you sure don't see it very often.

Keep up the good work

Ride isn't too bad at all!

I use the car for my daily 50 mile commute & have no complaints

I think it was a pretty expensive option when ordering, so as you say - not many about!

Schmittler · 02-12-2016, 01:25 PM

What a beauty!

R99 · 02-12-2016, 02:22 PM

Nah, that was an old pic, taken not long after I got the car!!

The M3 mirrors are going nowhere!

Love wagons, man this makes me want to pick up an e39 540i touring, car looks fantastic, m3 mirrors took it to another level. Check out some of the members who have done a full m3 conversion to a wagon, they look amazing in my opinion! Keep up the modding!

R99 · 02-19-2016, 03:36 PM

Well, its time for a little update...

The new brake kit is on

The performance of these brakes is amazing!

The power is incredible compared to the 135i 6 pot / 2 pot system I have had removed. These are hands down the best brake set up I have had on a car.

Better still the front caliper and disc pretty much fill my whole 19" wheel!! The 330mm stock rears also fill the 19's much better than the 135i 2 pot set up did.

Very happy!

HolyChitMeng · 02-20-2016, 11:50 AM

R99 · 02-21-2016, 11:55 AM

Here we go, couple more pictures of the car / brakes.

They are just getting better now they are bedding in!!
