Picked up my F30 today from NOLA

RDY4TKF · 10-14-2017, 10:33 PM

I?m in love!!! I?m driving back to Chicago.

jdr78569 · 10-14-2017, 11:12 PM

Awesome bro! Congrats! What u pick up looks like a 335i but can?t tell. U flew in for it?

Calvin36 · 10-14-2017, 11:26 PM

Congrats man! Love the car! Doesn't look like a stock exhaust? Is it aftermarket?

RDY4TKF · 10-14-2017, 11:31 PM

Yes, it’s a 335i with the MPPK. It?s a factory M exhaust. Thanks guys! I’m ecstatic, I will probably keep my MINI Cooper S for winter duty. I flew in to New Orleans and I was back on the road two hours after landing. My airline ticket cost me $50... SCORE!

M performance exhaust with MPPK? Nice! The burbles must be intoxicating!! $50? That's a definitely a win!

Congrats brother. Love the red and all the tunes are a nice bonus!

kpgray · 10-15-2017, 09:37 AM

Love the 403M wheels! Is this a RWD or xDrive? You will need to get winter wheel set to replace the summer tires. I went with some Ferric Grey 441 rims from getBMWparts.. I also got the Pirelli SottoZero tires with the rim set. It is a little more expensive then some wither wheel sets but the car still looks amazing in the cold months!

Good call on the 441s. Not a lot of folks will go with OEM rims for winters. Like you said got to keep the car looking good all year round.

I?ll be using my 400s myself and bolting on the 403s next summer....it?s gonna be a long winter!

I found a set of these with Michelin Alpina tires for $550. It is RWD and most winter driving duties will be in my MINI Cooper S.

Framamind · 10-16-2017, 02:03 PM

Congratulations! Nice to see a RWD car driven in the northern states like Chicago! Its a totally different car compared to the AWD models. I too, would have it no other way

RDY4TKF · 10-16-2017, 03:37 PM

I have a MINI Cooper for very bad snow days.
I almost pulled the trigger on an X drive but I just couldn’t do it.

metallicpea · 10-16-2017, 03:51 PM

Congrats. I bet you had to go south to find anything without x-drive. Worth it. Good job. Enjoy!

Bob in IL · 10-16-2017, 04:19 PM

Did you have the windows tinted before you headed back to IL?

The car looks great. I like the nice subtle tint. Probably legal in IL too.

Smart decision!! Gorgeous car x 2 - Melbourne Red exterior with the Coral Red leather!! Congrats!

Calvin36 · 10-16-2017, 11:44 PM

Wow red on red is aggressive! Didn't realize it had coral interior.

metallicpea · 10-17-2017, 10:57 AM

The Melbourne exterior makes the coral interior look brighter than it does with other colors. Interesting. I have not seen that combo before. I will keep an eye out for it on I80
