Tastefully Modded G20 M340i

Dirtyg20M · 01-08-2020, 10:58 PM

Here's what I think the M340i should look like stock.

Had this car since July. It' a rocket - plus still in break-in mode, so no tune or downpipe yet.

Next on the list are lowering springs and a trunk spoiler.

Best mod to date are the floating BMW center caps like Rolls Royce. <3

Beautiful! Curious, what exhaust are you running?

john!smith · 01-09-2020, 12:58 AM

are you running a custum exhaust?

PunkSinatra · 01-09-2020, 02:14 AM

Which spacers do you have installed?

Your car looks very good and I'm really interested in putting some spacers too.

JDUNITNOW · 01-09-2020, 04:57 AM

Nice mods. What are your wheel dimensions? I like the meaty tire look. Please share your offsets if you know what they are. I like 20's but it is a ticking time bomb avoiding pot holes with the low profile.

NYC_340i · 01-09-2020, 08:01 AM

Interested in the exhaust as well. What is it?

Gdiddy23 · 01-09-2020, 08:06 AM

+1 on the exhaust/tips & spacers

A6bullet · 01-09-2020, 08:33 AM

Not bad, but not for me.

The quad looks off somehow.

cnichols138 · 01-09-2020, 10:57 AM

What front chin are you running? What exhaust tips you running? I really want to change that part of my car. hate how they are done on my car now.

MmmmmM2 · 01-09-2020, 11:03 AM

That is a NICE ride! I'm lovin the dual exhaust setup!

JayPichardo · 01-09-2020, 11:27 AM

NIce!!

You car looks great and I am really a fan of the wheels & exhaust.

However, I disagree with you on the floating caps. What BMW is offering has nothing to do with RR. If indeed they were liquid like the RR caps, they would be on my car

I personally find the bmw style ones better.. the RR ones are finicky and fail often, ( i worked in a shop dealing with tons) RR is multi piece.
The bmw ones aren't my style as my ocd goes crazy if the logo isn't aligned with the M on the wheel. But I'd choose the bmw style over RR for simplicity and cost difference (naturally) should one fail

That is actually a good point. I just wish that BMW ones were more flush. 1st time I saw them, I couldn't believe how much they stick out.

12mm on the fronts only - the rear already poked.

In order to clear the suspension - 19 x 9.5 squared - the offset is ET35 for the front with a spacer.

Yeah I'm never doing 20s again. I ran 20s on an AMG with stretched tires and cracked two rims from potholes. 19's are perfect because you have more protection from a thicker tire.

Front splitter is a piece of crap - it broke within two days of install. I'm mean it was my fault coming out of a driveway, but I'd go with a thicker more premium brand. Super flimsy, but looks good!

Megan Racing tips - nothing crazy.

My plan originally was to get an M3, but sales guy talked me into the G20. So I plan to trade up for a G80 when it drops, so not getting crazy with bolt ons.

Lol thanks man. After reading this I'm nervous one day one will get stuck and I won't know it. Lol

Thanks man. Honestly, they were the same price as the regular ones. So it was a no brainer and nice little touch.
