New 335 MSport Mineral Grey

Hi All -

For those that asked for pictures.

MSport
Premium
Tech
19 inch rims
Heated front seats
Sport 8AT
Black grilles
Black chrome exhaust tips
Opti-Coat

It will be tinted next weekend. I will add the carbon fiber license plate holders when I receive my plates. I am also considering the M Performance suspension.

Looks awesome! Did you apply the opti-coat yourself? Was wondering how it compares to other sealants? Im always looking for new products to keep the car looking new.

OC40,

Looks great !!! How much fun are you having driving it? It won't be long before 500 miles is over. Have fun with the car. Did the Opti Coat turn out great?

Thanks everyone!

Kobechrome - I had it applied professionally. It looks great so far, but its only been 3 days. I am curious how it will look after a couple of washes.

Thanks man!

Opticoat seems to have turned out great. Can't wait to see it after a couple of washes.

Honestly, I absolutely love it, but the steering is a little disappointing (I did not upgrade). I think I may have the M Performance suspension installed. How are you liking yours?

P.S. I am only at 170 miles, but I already laid into it a couple of times!

Mineral grey is not common on the M Sport... It looks good, more classy !

Congratulations. MG is unique and looks great.

The steering on the F30 is electric. I'm not sure upgrading to the M-Performance suspension will give you want you're seeking. And, the
variable sport steering, I think, only comes with the adaptive/dynamic suspension factory upgrade.

Thank you!

I misspoke (I was half asleep). I meant to say the steering and suspension are a little disappointing.

Thanks everyone! Here are a few updated pics with ceramic tint. Excuse the iPhone photos once again (and the dust - haven't washed it yet!).

Nice car!

Did you install black exhaust tips yourself after receiving the car? How much did you pay for parts and labor? Thanks.

Congrats!!

Seems we are twins. I too was disappointed with new electronic steering. Sport & + is better, but still not as heavy as I'm used to. As for the M Performance suspension, I added it to mine and it is definitely worth it, but be warned that with the low profile 403M set, you will feel every bump on the road. Check out my complete thread with before and after pics.

Thanks and seems we are! It's funny, I showed my friends/family your thread as a comparable to my car before it arrived. Thanks for the info on the M Performance Suspension. I am still considering it, but I think that I am getting used to the stock after 500 miles. I am going to give it another 500 or so before I make a decision.
