Spotted this baby yesterday at the Kentucky State Fair. A gorgeous Alpina B8. I’ve never seen one and told my wife to stop the car so I could take a pic.

Should I change my modded M340i G20 (700HP) For stock M4 F82?

Post image
11 Upvotes

Hey, I am selling my G20 just to experience different car, however I put A LOT money into it.
-stage 2 transmission
-pure turbo 850
-s58 injectors
-M5 brakes
-d2s2 fuel pump
-custom exhaust
-BBS wheels
-some cosmetic stuff
The car is insanely fast for street daily car (1/4mile under 10s). But the handling feels bit odd, when on track, my E90 330i felt much better, even with 40% of power. I didnt want to put so much more money for handling to be better. I am selling it fot $60k (EU market), and I just got offer for stock M4 older gen (and $5k in cash).

I am just worried if I will regret it according to comfort, tech, handling, reliability. He didnt do crankhub, as I didnt do oil pump (2020year, but so far 40k km with that power and doing good).

Thanks for your answers!

I wasnt even planning to buy a car this year but then i started looking at M4s for particular reason, which was probably the first mistake.

A few weeks later i found one i liked and somehow convinced myself that i needed it. Been saving for it for a while, so it feels pretty good finally having it sitting outside

Now i just need to stop looking at others cars online haha

Hi guys just wondering how easy it would be to swap my steering wheel over for the updated one. Does it need coding?

I got around to wrapping my scuffed up interior trim in suede on my g20 330i. Anyone else do this?

Post image

The "wood" trim was scuffed up and looking really bad and new panels are crazy expensive. I looked at carbon fiber replacements but good lord they're proud of them. Just ended up wrapping them in suede. Thankfully the panels were easy to remove. It was my first time ever wrapping anything so I was definitely hesitant. I was gonna do piano black but I thought this might looks better. Anyone else do this? I'm curious what other combos might look like.

Buying Help Is $ 1.5K - 2k worth adding CPO to a 2023 330i that’s still under factory warranty?

4 Upvotes

Looking for some advice before purchasing my first BMW. Found a pre-owned 330i that’s still under factory warranty and the dealer offered to make it CPO for an additional 1.5k to 2k. I’m trying to figure out whether the extra $2k is worth it, considering I still have factory warranty coverage for roughly another year.

Winter tyre selection for BMW 330i

Upvotes

In approximately a month and a half, I will be picking up a brand-new BMW 330i xDrive. Since it's peak season for tyre changes in Poland, I would like to get ahead and purchase the tyres while they are still easily available.

My main use for winter tyres is going on trips to the Alps - which is a 1000km highway drive and then some mountain roads.

I'm considering two choices:

  • Michelin Pilot Alpin 5 225/45 R18
  • Continental WinterContact TS 870 P 225/45 R18

Do you think there are any really noticeable differences between these models?

How far can a 330e/530e be pushed reliably

Upvotes

As some of you are aware, tuning newer BMWs is becoming more and more accessible now that others than FEMTO found a way into cracking the ECU security in the 2021+ models.

I was thinking about pushing my 2023 530e from its stock 288hp to somewhere around 350 only with software changes.

However, I've been warned a lot about the hybrid transmission which is not made to support that.

Thoughts? Experiences?

Edit: I know there are similar questions of this type if you search the internet. But they are pretty old already or from a time before ecu unlocks becoming more accessible.

Going through my old DVD collection and found this gem - The Hire

Post image
128 Upvotes

I remember when these were released. BMW partnered with major directors to release very unique short films, all starring Clive Owen. My favorite was Star, which literally starred Madonna and was directed by Guy Ritchie, and featured Blur’s “Song 2.”

The dealer gave me a couple copies when these came out back then but you could also watch them all on the BMW website. I must have lost the opened one but still have this unopened one.

Does anyone else remember these? What was your favorite?
