    After four Japanese cars, finally coming to the German side...

    I had an Acura TL Type-S for about 2.5 years... LOVED that car, but had an itch for RWD.



    Drove an F30 BMW 328i about a week and a half ago and was pleasantly surprised how quick and nimble a regular ol` 328 was nowadays.



    Drove her home with Carmax warranty to 100,000 miles two days later!



    Friday night debadge:



    Saturday morning interior clean:



    Sunday morning 19" 335i/340i "403 M" wheels:







    [Monday night clay & wax undocumented]

    Tuesday night M Sport gloss black grilles:





    Next up it either matte carbon fiber interior trim wrap or M Sport front bumper.

    Thanks for sharing my excitement with me!

    Nice! Those 403 M rims make a huge difference.

    Beautiful car! I did the same thing as you. I had several Japanese cars in the past, including Toyota and Honda but decided to go German - and I never went back after loving my MB ML350. Now I have a quick and nimble 2017 MB CLS550. That twin turbo V8 is a beast! Enjoy your ride and I bet you will never buy another Japanese car again.

    Welcome to the club! I did the same thing, bought a BMW after years of Japanese brands. The difference is night and day. My wife still has a Nissan and I`m trying to interest her in a BMW.

    I`ve always disliked the stock standard front bumper on the new 3 series, it looks cheap to me, almost like a kia or something. The M-sport front bumper is worlds better and just makes the car look like a proper sport sedan if you ask me. If it were me I`d look at getting those new wheels powder coated black, either gloss or satin to match the from grill you put it, but I like blacked out looking cars. That thing will look mean with a new M-sport bumper and black wheels!!!
