The Stormtrooper (F30)

My car finally came! :thumbs::bravo:

Presenting my beautiful F30 320i, the Storm Trooper!
The engine may not be anything special, but dang if she aint a looker. (And certainly more punchy than my 118i)
Drives like a dream, and the Msport package just makes the car feel all the more sweet. That M suspension is boss.

I have a few mods planned, which I will be doing slowly over time. I'll keep this thread updated for those who care!

List of future mods:

Visual:
Black M3 style boot spoiler
Gloss black kidney grills
Rear diffuser
twin exhaust tips
gloss black mirror caps
front splitter (maybe)
gloss black roof vinyl
carbon fiber vinyled interior (Although the brushed metal does already look cool)

Internal:
(Still on the fence about this)
jb4 piggy back mod
downpipe mod

I may also de-badge the "320i" because I like the clean look.

I'll take more pics in better weather this weekend

Congrats on getting her! :coolShake:

Looks very very clean!

Thanks man! It really does look mint.

Did you vinyl your bumper yourself there in your signature pic, or is it a splitter you attached? And the does the film over your fog lamps affect light dispersion?

Cool man yeah it looks very good you have a great car here! :=):

They are Carbon Fiber splitters :rollsmile: The fogs are LaminX proper thick film mostly to protect my fogs, no issues at all. In fact with the blue film the fogs are almost white which match the main lights better. So it is a win.

I think I'll get a 335i engine from a crashed car and shove it in like that other guy... Some duct tape should hold it all together :roflol:

Congrats on the car! Enjoy the miles... but you're going to have to follow rank, there's already a senior stormtrooper on board.

Thanks for all the congrats, guys.
This weekend I'm going to try carbon fibre some of my interior, and de-badge the back. I'll post pics of my successes/failures.
Also, does anybody know how well boot spoilers stick on? I see decent looking plastic ones for R900, or carbon fibre ones for about 3k. I'd hate to put on a CF one for it to just fall off or get ripped off by somebody.. but I'd also hate to get the cheaper plastic one, just to find it sucks, and replace it later.. because getting it off looks a bit challenging.
