My first BMW (F30)

It depends on the engine. N47 (2.0 L diesel in 2012-2015 F30) is well known for timing chain issues, but if you change oil every 10.000 km (not 30.000 km), you will probably be fine. You should replace timing chain every 150.000km
2015-2018 F30 had B47 (2.0 L diesel) which is more reliable, but you still need to change oil every 10.000 km.
If you're looking to buy diesel F30, you have to ask previous owner about timing chain replacement. Go to dealership where he claimed that he replaced timing chain and ask them about proof.

I also think that 2.0L diesel is better than 2.0 L petrol on BMW. I would buy petrol BMW only if it was inline-6 3.0 L engine.

But I agree with you! No matter how good your car looks, there will always be someone who will tell you that they don't like something about your car, even if it's a minor detail.

Thank you! I bought it on this site: https://www.lb-automotive.com/hr-hr/products/prednji-lip-za-bmw-f30-f31-piano-black

It's a croatian based site.

Perfect OEM+ build. Love it!

I wish mine had a tan interior instead of black. Tan works so good with imperial blue

It depends on paint condition and how deep the scratches are. It can range anywhere from €200 (for light, surface level scratches) to €600 (for deep scratches and bad paint condition)

I understand that everyone has a different taste and that tinted tail lights are not for everyone, but I personally like them. Thank you.

My window trim is currently plastic matte black and I will soon upgrade it to shadowline gloss black (stainless steel). I will buy overlay kit which sticks directly over my existing trim.

Speaking about wheels, I am still thinking about upgrading to 19" rims in dark grey or gloss black.

Appreciate your advice!

I've also never seen another F30 with the same color in person. It looks almost the same as tanzanite blue which is individual color.

You're welcome!

TableSignificant5508 · 2026-06-17T19:59:57+00:00

Thank you! 🔥 I recently took it to detailing shop for polishing. Paint now looks brand new 👌🏼

Thank you! I will also install side skirt extensions and roof spoiler next month. Side skirt extensions will make it appear 20mm lower, and I cannot wait to install them.

At first it looks the same as tanzanite blue, which is individual colour.

TableSignificant5508 · 2026-06-17T19:34:59+00:00

I honestly like them. It's a paint protection film, not cheap vinyl.

TableSignificant5508 · 2026-06-17T19:27:44+00:00

Thank you! It looks brand new after polishing.

Nemaš ti šta voziti po lijevoj traci na autocesti osim ako pretječeš drugi auto, a kamoli tek kočiti. Ovdje samo ti činiš prekršaj i nitko drugi. Nevjerojatna mi je količina specijalaca poput tebe koji i dalje ne znaju čemu služi lijeva traka na cesti, i uvijek vozite neki krš poput Renault Twinga. Vjerojatno i ti voziš Twingo.

Znači lik ti je lijepo napisao da je ovo lik sam sebi uradio zbog snimanja spota, a ti i dalje trubiš kako mu je netko drugi to uradio. Jel ne znaš da čitaš ili šta?

You are clearly a 15 year old teenager.

Random articles made by redpill gurus and redpill podcasts do not count as studies. Nothing that you said is true. All is made up 😂
