BMW F30 335i M Performance

[Col 666]

I replaced my Abarth 500 with this recently, 2014 335i.
It has a really great spec-
M Performance bodykit and 20" wheels
Mineral white paint
Individual interior
Head up display
Harmon Kardonn
8 speed sport auto
etc etc
So far really pleased with it, I think it looks fantastic and it turns a lot of heads with no negative responses.....so far! The only thing I am looking to purchase is the M performance exhaust as its too quiet, although it does give off a nice note just not enough decibels!

Stunning, love the wheels. Enjoy!

Looks fantastic. These look quite big, be interested to know how these compare in size to the old 5 series e60.

I can tell you they dwarf my E34! Nice to see one with the correct number of cylinders, OP It is a shame BMW no longer do smaller N/A sixes

Very nice, is the white interior an option or did you have it painted/wrapped?

its an option, it is actually wood if you look really close you can see the grain in it.

In reply to the other comment, it is very nearly the same size as an E60. I've had an E60 and E61 in the past few years. The reason I didn't want a new 5 series as I think they are too big.

Why people ever choose Alpine White over Mineral White baffles me. I think it looks so much better.

Nice car OP!

Very nice! 20" alloys though, bloody hell.

Very nice, I imagine 99% of the masses would think it's a new M3.

Which is either a very good or bad thing depending on your viewpoint!

I'm amazed the amount of people that think its an M3, even people that I thought knew a bit about cars.
I'll probably de-badge it and stick an M Power badge on instead...........!

He's me hoping you're being sarcastic...

Lovely car though.

I know PH loves a good M badge!

I'm usually quite cynical about these 'M Performance' options but even I can't deny, that looks very, very nice. A guy local to me has an F30 in Estoril Blue with the same bodykit, wheels etc. It's also lovely!

Even just looking at them, I can almost hear and feel them being damaged on my local back roads. Ouch.

I'm a BMW fan, and I realise I'm in a minority of one here, but I think the M performance kit is terrible. It would be bad enough as it is, before it got the dubious branding on it.

If it had Khan wrote on it, I'd expect it, but I'm surprised that got signed off by BMW as an option. Maybe it wouldn't look quite so out of place on a darker colour, it looks brutal against the White.

White grained wood interior trim? Sounds a bit ikea to me.

Although to be fair, I think the 3 series pulls it off better than the 1/2 series that someone posted last week.

Looks so beautiful!

Glad you both like it

Looks very nice, i'm a big a big fan of these performance extras.

20" alloys on a 3 series, how the times have changed, I remember being in school cira 2000 and a friends dad having 20" Alpina alloys on his e38 7 series, we all couldn't believe the size of them!
