Mineral White m340 w/m-performance + minor mods

bmw noob · 06-13-2020, 01:14 AM

Hello all. Finally picked up my 2020 m340i in May. Pretty much done with mods, so I figured I’d start up a thread for it. I am hoping to get some better pics, and will update when I do.

So far, I have: full performance aero kit except mirrors, aftermarket m-style carbon mirror caps, Burger intake, 15% Llumar (non-ceramic all windows but windshield), blacked out emblems.

UPDATE: VMR V804 19" in custom Gloss Anthracite, with Michelin Ps4s 235/40, 265/35 INSTALLED. Gloss black front trim just arrived, will be installing this weekend.

Thanks for all the help and information in these forums...this place is great.

The storm trooper look always wins!!! I love it!

Your car looks awesome. I can't wait to see it with wheels. This is one of the builds I chose on website. Enjoy

Looks good! What difference do you notice with the intake?

Honestly purely audio. I was not expecting any noticeable power gains as even the reported 10whp is likely not noticeable.

The turbos can now be heard spooling, which is exactly what I wanted.

Where you get mirror caps? How fit and finish ?

Hey Noob, nice car. Take it to the Miami BMW Poker run this weekend. I see you got this in Pines too, cheers!

From eBay:

Drivers side fit perfect. passengers side did not fit well at all. Seller immediately shipped out a replacement. Replacement fit much better, though still not perfect. Good enough that I will just keep it. Seller also paid return shipping for defective unit.

Clear coat looks ok, and weave is nice. For the price I’d give them a shot. Other members used the same source which is how I found them.

Nice!

bmw noob · 07-10-2020, 06:14 PM

Updated... Now with wheels.

Need to get some proper photos done still. Anyone in Miami area interested in practicing for your portfolio? Haha

VipinLJ · 07-10-2020, 06:23 PM

Those VMRs look nice!!

Funny how these sidewalls are only .3" bigger than stock, but making me regret decision a little. Was worried about 235/35, 265/30 looking too small in wheel wells (would be 7" less sidewall than stock.) too late now. Ha

JDUNITNOW · 07-10-2020, 09:11 PM

Your car really looks nice. Perfect color choice and I like the stormtrooper look also. The wheels fit the fenders nice and no need to lower. I am sure the ride is good with more sidewall.

miked1999 · 02-14-2021, 11:17 PM

This car looks amazing. Curious about the front lip and rear diffuser... would you mind sharing the vender you used for these parts if they are not OEM?

bimmermann88 · 02-24-2021, 10:47 AM

do you get any grief with the aftermarket air intake at the dealer?
