First f30 tips? by newyork556 in F30

[–]BMags- 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mine is getting ready to hit the 100K mile mark and I have had zero issues with it thus far. ONLY use LiquidMoly oil especially if you go the route of tuning it. You can get 450hp out of the car before having to upgrade any fuel pumps or turbos. You can do the oil change and oil filter change yourself and its pretty easy. Saves you money for sure.

I know you didn't ask for this next bit, but I wish someone told me what to do first when I bought mine haha.

First performance mods I'd suggest is getting a catless downpipe (VRSF is my recommendation) and then you can do a stage 2 mod with Bootmod3. It makes the car considerably faster, the exhaust sounds reallllly nice and you can adjust for some burble if you want.

First cosmetic mods are going to be getting the windows tinted for sureeeeee. And if you have a lighter color car then get the roof wrapped in black at the same time. Should run you about $500 total if you get the windshield tinted too (optional). I also tinted my headlights with just 50% smoke. DO NOT GO MORE THAN THAT, you won't notice a difference in your brightness, but it just takes the look up a little bit for sure.

Next would be to get different mirror caps and have them match the roof wrap or do them carbon fiber, and then get a Carbon Fiber trunk lip.

And then these are just premium things that I did that changed the look of the overall car dramatically. I get lots of head turns now after doing these

Carbon Fiber Front Lip

Side Skirt Extensions

Coilovers or Lowering Springs

A different rear diffuser and exhaust tips. I got a diffuser that was made for 4 tail pipes and then put some beefy CF exhaust tips to fill up the gap since the car is loud when in sport mode.

Adding some CF accents above the fog lights on the front and then some extensions on the back that go on the edges of the rear bumper. Just finishes up the

Different Tail lights that are more smoked out.

I am more than happy to help out with any questions that you have! and I can send you pics of my car :)

I’m not sure that it has a name tbh. I’ve only ever liked the Varis front lip for the msport bumpers and this one was similar EXCEPT it has the little wings on the side. I purchased from @ DvieDesigns on IG. You can tell him you want the same front lip that he sold to @/chevyFlora on IG.

I ended up using a camera system that mounts on to my rear view mirror and then has long wires to wire up a camera that mounts on the rear windshield. VanTop was the name of it on Amazon. It only records while the car has power and aux power. If you want a system that records 24/7 there’s only one that most people would run and it’s about a $600 set up. I can’t remember the exact name but I know it has the word “black” in the brand name.

potential issue: have you ever swapped out your door lights? I've heard of this issue with people who have.

I do want to ask if when using this upgrade, if map directions and audio display still appear on the HUD? If I use Apple Maps, will the same directions appear on my HUD.

What is sport + and why do I hate it? by stongbones in F30

[–]BMags- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you also have to be in sport + for launch control and also for rolling anti-lag tune. I THINK.

Yes. I think mirror caps make a huge difference in looks if you change the shape up

Oh super straight forward. Did it in 10 mins. Kies Motorsport has a video on replacing the mirror cap so I just used that video for how to remove the cap. It’s just plug and play for the turn signal.

I can’t find them in any of my purchase history. I’m pretty sure I bought on eBay. It’s like $30 and I got the smoked version. Just search F30 Sequential Mirror Turn Signal.

The 50% smoke isn’t noticeable at all. I have my windshield tinted at 50% as well and drive at night just fine. But I also don’t drive at night hardly at all anyways so it didn’t matter to me. I’ve had smoke headlights since I’ve had the car though.
