Some pics of my dad's new F30 Sport

[dan yeates]

Hi,

In light of the recent 3 Series GT thread, I'd though I'd post up some photos to show how good the new 3 Series can look!

Here's my dad's new car. Stack of options fitted, including:

Sport trim level
Visibility package (bi-xenons with adaptive main beam - amazing!!!)
Professional multimedia and sat nav (really nice 8.8" widescreen with loads of toys including BMW Assist, Google search, Internet, iPod connectivity, advanced Bluetooth etc)
Full heated leather interior
Sports automatic 8 speed transmission (what a joy that is!)
Adaptive M Sport suspension
Sport servotronic steering
Metallic paint
Funky cruise control etc.
Probably loads of other things I've forgotten!

So all the must have options. Here are the pictures...

[mmm-five]

So come on then, show us the pictures of it looking good. If that's the 'Sport' then I can only imaging how fugly the standard car is.

It's not the M Sport, just the Sport. To my dad options and spec (getting that engine, that gearbox and suspension) was more important than bigger bumpers!

I've seen a few on my motorway commutes, and also some of the F10 5-series too.

They look almost identical until you see them side by side, and then you see they are - except there's a slight change of scale between them!

At least they've upped their game regarding the interior since the e9x series.

Very nice
We went for the Msport

I think it suits the kit more - not sure I get the sports interior and somber exterior on the sport.

Not too keen on the rear, but from the front it looks cracking, 'specially with those headlights.

Lush interior too :sweetheart:

Looking at the spec & the interior layout reminded me of my 2004 645Ci :wink: 9years ago the technology was "high tech" with adaptive steering,susp & lights /voice recog etc

Nice car though

I've not seen many F30's on the road yet, but then I don't get out of the forest much! Haha!

The only ones I've seen haven't had the xenons and angel eyes. They look so much better with them!

Lovely piccies I do prefer M sports though...but the trouble with that is you get a poor ride & expensive tyres, but I think it's worth it though

Did you see that Audi now offer SLine with SE suspension to try and get over that issue

I didn't realise that, but it does make sense

The optional Adaptive M Sport suspension (my day's has this) gives you softer than SE suspension when on soft and firmer than the M Sport when on Sport. it's superb. Works with electronically controlled valves inside the shock absorber.

No wonder , i love the looks of the 5 series sports & when looking for our 3 tourer really really wanted the sport looking exterior but in all honesty with having the Z i wanted the main car to be more comfortable :roll: think the sport look on SE ride is the way forward , especially the way our roads are becoming :|

Agree with that dan . the 6 series we had on adaptive suspension was supreme , the touring MPG however was not quite as good

It's incredible how quick Beemer move things on our old 330d/520d were both M sports with a uncompromising ride, I have electronic damper control on the M3 & it rides really nice in comfort, I am very impressed with what Beemer offer now across the board it's impressive
