My new G30 Bluestone - M Performance kit fitted

Just got delivery of my new car G30

I was suppose to be getting this one in September but for some reasons I went and got Merc E class , didn’t like it at all drive wise as BMW best driving machines

Here are few pics from this morning but will get cleaned and take proper pics , it started snowing here


Mods to follow

CF grills , mirror caps and spoiler
CF complete interior trim soon as I get hold of trim from breakers
Booked for tints at 11.00am
7series M sport 20” alloys in summer (see pic of blue car )

Fantastic choice mate, fancy seeing you over here! I didn't know the M entry sill was illuminated, thought that was a 7 series thing?

Good decision on the 7 MSport wheels, a better choice I think.

Will be really interested to hear your thoughts on this one. Looks superb and I k ow you're great with your mods. Gonna be great

Yea I am here too doing mods on my G30 now

Mirror caps and grills on the way should be delivered next week and will be carbonised straight away , hunt is still on for interior trim to do same .

Look at speedo now mate how cool is that say Nav display , it was so cool when driving and looking at that , this is massive improvement from F10 speedo

I went Manchester today for a drive and loved it , proper comfortable and drive is so smooth specially gear changes were so smooth unlike my E class .

Glad you will be keeping eye on G30 mods mate

Car looks great. Is that Nav in the speedo standard? Waiting for my white G30 but it’s not due until March.

Not thought of the 7 series wheels, I like the 759 and also the black 664m wheels. Where are you getting the 7 series wheels from?

Yea mate that Nav in speedo is standard in M sport

Problem is G30 alloys are very expensive at the moment and I really like 7 series alloys anyway

I bet you can’t wait to get yours hands on G30 , what you driving now ?

Currently driving a 2016 Golf R and previous to that an M135. The golf R is an amazing little car but unfortunately just too small for my family. Loved every minute of the R but the 5 series is just a completely different car.

Aren't the 7 series 648m wheels slightly larger than the standard 20" wheels? 20x8.5 25mm 20x10.0 41mm VS 20x8.0 30mm 20x9.0 44mm

I do recall Loran mentioning the 5 series had a revised PCD also, be careful, I'm certain you know what you're doing though. Likely the 7series G also has this.
