F30 335i M-Sport M-Performance

[Nastaliq]

Car is finished and all clean, what you guys think? I'm loving it

Howsit Bernard,

I notice you mentioned these are off the M6 GC. the OEM rims are 20" you have 19" ones?

Did you get reps from a local guy? are these cast or forged? Don't they stick out slightly?

Anyway did u try launch control with the 335 as yet ?

Yes the OEM is 20" and will never fit a F30 with Standard M Sport suspension maybe with other suspension mods it could be possible.

Yes they reps from a local guy. No clue if forged or cast, but they seem to be a good quality Rep. Yes they did stick out because the F30's rear is a 47 offset and these were a 35 offset all round, so in front they fine but in the rear they stuck out alot, so the Mag guy shaved them by about 7mm and strengthened the wheels with inserts (some guys dont bother with these inserts, not sure what they are exactly but they seem to work) so basically I now have about a 42 offset on my rears and they sit flush, compared to the standard wheels which are further in.

There isnt an actual launch control you must activate Sport+ then shirt gear knob over make sure you in manual left foot on the brake and for best performance keep revs between 1800 & 2000 and let go of brake pedal and your gone!! if you start going over 2000 revs the rears start spinning.

When I read the on board manual it says I need to put it in sport +, shift leaver left to manual and press the brake then accelerate and press kick down switch ,by then the flag pic comes up then let go of brake .
I haven't tried it yet but will do soon .

No I've never seen that flag that some talk about, by the time you get to the kick down switch your rear Tyres are smoking it up. I've never "punched" it down to kick down switch, too scared I break something. So I've maybe done about 10 or so launches like the way I described. So let me know if you get it right.

Intro it is!..pics...I'm at work offshore at the moment so uploading pics is just too kak slow!

Originally from JHB, I live in Cape Town now since '92 already.

My first BMW was a '90 e30 318i. Shortly after there was a '91 e30 320i in it's place.
Then many years passed, together with many other cars, and the next BMW I had was a 2005 E46 330i F/l....that was a fun machine indeed!...after that I had the first gen X5 3.0d Exclusive pack, thereafter the 2nd gen X5 3.0d Excl pack also.
Then traded that one in (we have been a single car family for most of our marriage until about 1yr ago) and got a 2012 e90 330i Msport....which I still currently have.
And last year I bought my Mrs the X5 3.0d Limited Performance edition.
That is a beast to drive and an absolute pleasure!...don't tell my wife that!

I am also looking at finding a decent e30 325i for me to spruce up and do the fun stuff with!

As u can see, I am a HUGE fan of BMW!!...
Oh...and I luv doing custom sound! Being doing it as a hobby for many years now.

Well that's about it!!
p.s will post pics soon as i get home!

oops!!...forgot to ask, but did u order the kit from BMW?...or?

Cheers!
