Build update:

H&R's now fitted - no rubbing with the OEM 437m and 245/35 and 265/35 MPSS which if i'm honest I was secretly worried about! The lowering has also helped to tuck the front wheels into the arches nicely and the wheels are a perfect fit IMO - a really aggressive stance.

Also had the alignment done as it was way out following the fitting of the springs.

Thanks! Yeh the ICON’s do look good!

Ride is great so far, no real change in harshness or ride quality

Looking good James, the H&R's should settle a touch lower too over the next week or so. Have you decided on what you're doing with wheel colour yet?

Yeh a little settling would be good - hopefully not too much more though!

Current favourite is satin black

Also finally got my plate on today after 6 months of owning the car.... just one of those jobs I’ve never got round to sorting.

Few more pics - also managed to get the front discs and pads replaced at 13.5k miles under warranty after they developed a ring on the outer edge that was no longer getting swept by the pads - a great result!

Logged the issue with the dealer & collated evidence of them being replaced under goodwill rather than warranty on other cars.

Asked my dealer to contact BMW & they agreed to do it!

How are you finding the F31? Yours is looking very nice, with some tasteful mods.
I am considering getting myself a 330d wagon to carry the dog around in. Any buying advice would be welcome.

It’s fantastic!

The 330d is a peach IMO as the Performance is more than enough for real world use and you still have RWD, which for me is what a BMW should be about!

Also embarking on a brake conversion using OEM 6 pot F8x CCB calipers.

Slight tweak for the rear with the addition of gloss black tails from a 40i - larger diameter than the stock version, very happy with the look.

I also bought a red engine cover, which I wasn't sure of at first - but now I feel the contrast works well.

Quick update.....

I've just purchased some 513m's for the car. 18x9 ET29 and 18x10 ET40 with OEM F8x MPSS tyres, sizes are: 255/40/18 and 275/40/18 - a tight fit, but they look great in my opinion!

Looks much better with the smaller wheels. More like a track car. Very purposeful
