New Member - 14' 335i M Sport

Zentan · 04-07-2017, 01:34 PM

Hi all -

New to the community/BMW world and just purchased a 14' 335i M Sport in EB. Had it for 2 days and I LOVE it. The luxury and the power & handling on this car is unbelievable. Estoril Blue was the ONLY color I was going to settle for on a F30, so I'm glad I was able to close this deal. The biggest bummer I have is that the original owner custom ordered this car and included all kinds of options EXCEPT ASSIST PKG. Really? I was extremely upset that this car did not have a back up camera. Did some research and there seems to be a solid aftermarket back up camera retrofit, so that'll be my first "mod".

Will be lurking around this forum often; look forward to talking to you guys!

Welcome! Beautiful car

Check out the Bimmertech for retrofitting stuff, from what I've seen their backup camera integrate directly with the iDrive and seems to work very well.

Congrats! Looks great. I just picked up my '14 335i in AW a couple weeks ago. Slapped on the M performance exhaust and blacked out the wheels to go with the CF side mirrors, lip spoiler and grill. Pictures do not do these wheels justice. Here's mine:

Absolutely gorgeous, thanks for sharing.

No front license plates?

I don't run a plate on my Z4 but my F30 came with one so I'm stuck with it. I wish I didn't have it though. I think the bumper plugs look worse and I'm not paying $30 for 2 Estoril plugs!

Thank you Zentan!

I actually bought it with holes drilled in and a standard front plate bracket already on. I told the dealership that part of my buying agreement meant BMW body shop would fill the holes properly because I did not want a front plate. They fixed up the holes and painted the front bumper and it looks brand new.

However, I bought a "Sto N Sho" front plate bracket that I will be installing with 3m Automotive tape, hidden holes underneath bumper are optional. Plan to only display my front plate when I park because meter maids tend to be more rough than anyone else here in CA. In case you ever decide to get them filled by a body shop or switch to plugs, this is seems to be the best option based on my extensive research on this forum. http://shop.bigmikesperformanceparts.com/BMW_c12.htm
