Estoril M Sport 328i

Camaya · 09-15-2012, 08:33 PM

Here are a few pictures of my car. So far it's been trouble free except for the tail light on the drivers side, it keep popping loose on the outer edge. Besides that, I love my car! I wrapped the roof and rear diffuser in gloss black. I have H&R springs sitting in my office waiting to go on.....

Great looking cars! I love Estoril Blue.

I heard there is a service bulletin for the rear light, trying to get the details from our dealer contacts.

Thanks Tim.

I'll check with the dealer on the service bulletin.

simsima325 · 09-16-2012, 10:46 PM

looks so good. nice choice.

Camaya · 09-16-2012, 11:23 PM

Thanks!
So far I haven't seen another Estoril blue F30 in person, and that's a good thing.

ECSTuning · 09-17-2012, 10:25 AM

Looks great! Congrats !

Congrats on the new F30! Estoril Blue is definitely one of my favorite colors. Make sure to post up an update once you get the H&R springs installed

A couple mods I'd suggest you check out is the BMW Performance Gloss Black Kidney Grills and the body color painted reflectors. Small exterior mods like this will make a huge difference and will flow better with the theme of the car. Here are a couple pics for you to check out!

what is the drop on those h&r springs?

tim330i · 09-24-2012, 07:55 AM

I like the wrap on the rear diffuser. Does it match the window trim?

If you have Sport Suspension 1.3" front & 0.7" rear. without Sport Suspension, 1.5" front & 1.0" rear.

Thanks!

It's gloss black just like the trim. It's a perfect match.

Yes they did and it looks great. If you get within a foot of the fin you can see a seam, otherwise it looks painted.

Nice color! love it! how do you like the drive and the new engine? why does the engine say twin power turbo? isnt the 328i the 4cyl turbo? does it have two turbos?

Thanks! I love the car, great power, great handling and decent gas mileage. Plus, I cant stop staring at it...

Twin Power turbo refers to the turbocharger technology and Double-Vanos system together. It's not a twin turbo, but it's fast! Not M3 fast, but high tech, efficient turbo 4 cylinder fast.

Looks amazing after the drop! Also I like your stock wheels a lot, maybe some spacers to flush them out a touch.

The BMW Performance BBK (LINK) would look at home on your car.

The BMW Performance BBK ... For exhaust, Mach Force by aFe

Great ideas all, but the aFe exhaust is only for the N20. I have the N26 SULEV. Their system is for the N20 only currently. The BMW BBK is on my radar.

Thanks for the feedback.

The Black Tip aFe Exhaust would really add a nice touch to the back end and eliminate those stock tips! aFe is actually already working on making the adjustments for guys like you who have the N26 motors! So stay tuned!
