F30 M Sport

Those are......... almost pointless. I don't mean that to sound mean but my word they look totally lost in the car. It's like they need to stick out another couple of mil.

I think they look perfect. Any further out and you'd constantly kick them off when getting in or out of the car. I always liked the evo carbon items but they were ripe for clipping the aul heel on!!

Actually, carbon skirts would be good on your car.

Never a man to mince your words eh? Lol

They come as part of the M Performance pack, my car didn't have them, so now it's complete. They are supposed to be subtle and aerodynamic, that's what the blurb says anyway, I'm not going to go chasing BMW questioning the design of their add ons.

They look good, they just look a little lost on the car, I'm not sure why. Could be the photos. The M4 skirts protruded a bit more to give it a little more aggression. It wasn't really a negative comment.

Looks great man!

You still planning on changing to one with the bigger engine?

Thanks bud, Yeah I mean that could be the end of the year or mid next year. Just need to see what comes along, for now I'm going to map this one and enjoy it.

Is ther actually a difference between the 18d and a 20d? Or it is just mapping? Would be ashame to upgrade so soon when the cars sitting well

The only difference is the 20d has more power, they both use the same 2lr engine. With a map the 18d will be sitting slightly sharper than a standard 20d.

Just get a dtuk box for it. They seem to get good reviews. Can move it to your next car as well.

Looks superb

Is that due to a map or bigger blower? What does the 320d produce when mapped

Standard F30 320d will see around 220bhp with a stage 1 map (184 standard).

If it's like the E90's, the compressor wheel on the turbo will be slightly larger on the 320D. I have successfully bolted them on to 318D's (and the same for 118D/120D), and unless you're on full throttle for an extended period of time, it won't even trigger limp mode as the ecu is able to compensate for the small increase in air volume by adjusting the fuel to suit. Don't consider it to be ideal or advisable without a map, just something I've tried for curiosity sake, and when it worked, it was left alone.

Going on what @Nicky has said I had the turbo from a 320d bolted onto my E90 318d back in the day. Didn't have a map on it and it was fine no limp mode but then got it mapped and it went to 190 bhp no problems.

It would make sense that the 320d's turbo could flow more, otherwise the 318 would map to the same as a mapped 320/the 320 wouldn't gain any more power from a map as the turbo would would be maxed out.

So the lights were fitted today, to say I'm happy is an understatement, they transform the car

 

[G N K]

Look great, now please please lower the thing a touch.

 

[Steve]

They do look well

 

[FN2DAVE]

Some difference . Great.

 

[AlpineF30]

LED fogs next

 

[veedubnoodle]

Very tidy! I can supply you lowering springs for not too much

 

[redanni]

Looks lovely

 

[JTDi]

Looks well

 

[Lyons]

Good job. What angel eye and headlight bulbs do you have?

 

[Brennan]

Thanks guys, really happy with them

 

[Brennan]

Awesome! I may take you up on that

 

[Brennan]

Angel eyes are led and built in.
