Kickass's BMW F30 320D

I wanted to create a new post for my car. My last thread named "F30 Msport Conversion" was during the time where I wasn't INLOVE with my car. I've actually fallen inlove with this car again recently after getting a few things done. I finally get excited to see this car in the morning again.

I'm going to give a quick summary of my car. I really didn't do my car research before buying this vehicle, my last car a Polo Vivo was just a car. So moving to this felt similar (Just more luxurious). Walked into BMW Northcliff Auto about a year ago and got a standard F30 320D.

A few of the packages, extras:
  • Driving Lights Package
  • Parking Package
  • Glass Sunroof
  • 17' 413 styled wheels

My first upgrade to this car was getting a second hand Msport steering wheel fitted:

Soon after getting the steering wheel the paddle shifters were up for sale and the owner who sold the steering wheel contacted me first and ta-da:

A few months forward I ended up getting my roof wrapped gloss black through KNS customs. I was super happy with how well the quality was and Kuvi kept me updated during the install.

I hadn't even left the KNS parking lot before snapping the first picture:

Took another one from the front once I got home:

Three days later on my previous post Singh posted a comment saying that he had an M-performance grill laying around collecting dust. And......:

After a quick bath, this was my most recent picture:

I have a long list of things to do. So I'll keep this thread updated going forward.

Thanks for reading!

Funny you say this. I was looking at getting one of those standard bumper lips. Something like this.

Gloss black is going to cost me about R3000.

Orrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr I got a quote for about R5000 for a Msport bumper from D&H Auto Spares And thats what I found by sending out one email. This is definitely going to happen. I'm not sure exactly when I'll go ahead with it. (I'll probably have to paint/repair and have to get a PDC one) but I think thats so much more worth it.
 
It looks like I’m at the finish line of selling my car and getting a replacement. This one happened fast. I think I saw the car for the first time two days ago.

I’ll give you a hint - no it’s not a diesel ;)
