My 2022 G20 330i - Portimao Blue on Mocha - Let the mods begin!

I've had a long history on these forums, and with BMW ownership. Unfortunately, I couldn't resist making the money on selling my M3, which I will ultimately get back, but I think this is a great stop-gap car for me until I figure out what is next.

I ordered this car last year and managed to actually be fairly feature-deletion free, besides the stuff that was no longer available to order at all at that time. It still has the touch screen, SiriusXM, and it actually got digital key as well, which was surprising, since that was removed when I first put the order in. My only deletion was passenger lumbar. I was thankfully able to get the ICON LED's before they removed it as an option to order as well, which happened not long after I put in my order.

Great built and I’m really loving the color combo.

How is the M exhaust? I’ve been debating getting it for my car and not sure how it will sound on the b48 engine. Any chance you can upload a video clip?

Thank you 🙏

Thank you! It sounds pretty good to me, and as far as I know I've shut off all of the fake engine noise thru coding, so what I'm hearing should be the exhaust itself. Like all the MPE's, it's not overly loud, no drone, and it sounds good on acceleration. With Sport Plus coded it has a small and nice amount of overrun sometimes, and sounds good on the up and down shifts.

I'd like to try to get a video of it from outside the car when time permits, but generally speaking, I'm very happy with it.

Very nice! Love the real diffuser. Just curious; are the pics the M Performance diffuser or the Autoteknic? If Autoteknic, any chance you have a pic with the M performance prior to changing?
