Pulled the trigger!!! Melbourne red 6spd with M-tech. What next?

James550i6spd · 10-31-2013, 11:01 PM

Pulled the trigger and put a deposit on a 2014 335i 6spd Melbourne with M-tech.
Will be coming from a 2001 330i

What's next? Wait for vin so I can track it? I did the same process with my 2001 e46 but I don't quite remember the tracking process. Needless to say, this will be the longest 6-7 weeks of my life.

Planned immediate mods:
Shadow grill
Lip spoiler
Roof spoiler
20" rims (possibly vossen or concept ones)

Congrats!! What package did you get, did you get the msport package?

Melbourne red looks great imho!

You thinking 20"s? I am just thinking they look a bit too big. What tired do you have in mind?

James550i6spd · 10-31-2013, 11:17 PM

Got the M-tech package and driver assistance package. That's all I need

I'm 90% sure on the 20s. My e46 had 19s and it was perfectly proportional. The f32 is a bit bigger so 20s may fit the bill...I just have to see a side by side between 19 and 20s. The fact the BMW actually makes 20s is pushing me in this direction

newoldbeemer · 10-31-2013, 11:20 PM

What is m-tech package? Is that another name for "technology package"?

James550i6spd · 10-31-2013, 11:33 PM

Haha owned. M-sport I mean. Not sure where I got m-tech from...I think it was a previous variant or some sort of option in the e46

newoldbeemer · 10-31-2013, 11:37 PM

Aah ok

Why 6-7 weeks btw? Are you going for european delivery?

Or is that what it takes normally for a custom order?

AtlantaDude · 11-01-2013, 12:29 AM

Standard is 18" with the 403 19" as options, no?

Where are the pictures ... the wait is painful for you, but you dont have to make it painful for us too.

Congrats coming from a great car the top of the line E46 to the top dog F30, you are gonna love it!

Enjoy it my friend, the wait is worth it.

James550i6spd · 11-01-2013, 09:51 AM

Thanks man. I'm still actually distraught that I had to let go of my e46 last night. Sold within an hour of posting on craigslist and the guy gave me a good offer so he can take it home that night. Now I'm missing her and I have got six weeks to wait for a new one then I'm driving this 94 honda civic in the meantime.

DrivenByE30 · 11-01-2013, 10:01 AM

Nice christmas present ! You timed it didnt you

Hopefully no delay otherwise, it would be a new year present.

Congrats. Here is a full tracking guide from soup to nuts: http://www.f30post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=680467

Definitely 20's, a drop, and a front lip. There really aren't many modded MR F30's around.
