Edit: I've learned from BMWUSA that my car is in fact Mineral White. It should have been clear from the beginning that the pearlescent flake was not Alpine but I guess I'm a bit slow

Not really sure where this is gonna go but my excitement hasn't yet weaned since taking the car home about 2 months ago. I suppose this thread is partly for me to keep track of everything I've done.

I've always liked mods that didn't looks like mods. Mods that fly so far under the radar that no one can tell the car is modded unless they really know the F2X chassis.

I'll start with some photos of the day I brought the car home. Immediately did a full interior detail and carpet shampoo to make it feel as new as possible.

Next up was a very thorough detail to get some scratches out, remove the worn clear bra, and deep clean the wheels.

Removed smoker package, cleaned the inside of the gauge cluster, and swapped the worn/damaged black chrome exhaust tips for chrome.

Hopefully some day BMW learns how to make an exhaust tip that doesn't corrode...

New wheels incoming!

These are Alzor 030. They are 359M replicas made by ECS Tuning and they are VIA/JWL certified.

18x8 all around, OEM BMW center caps, M wheel emblems. Can't wait to install these!

They are from an F30 340i. I believe they are the same as 440i as well.

Despite the error in the title, I've come to learn my car is actually Mineral White!

Got the wheels installed after a fairly long wait. Love the wheels, love the car!

Coby steering wheel arrives tomorrow

The whole car looks great. Not a fan of black wheels except on white cars.

Which exhaust tips are those?
Can you post a close-up picture.

They are F30 340i tips. I'll definitely get a close up pic next time I drive the car!

I Love the title of your thread. I like Factory plus and get where your going. Going to follow this and see where you end up. Looking great so far!

I kept OEM staggered sizing, 225 in front and 245 in rear. No rubbing at all in front or rear, but I hear 245 up front will rub. The 225 tires look a tad stretched but not obnoxiously so.

Cool, good luck with your build

Deleted my rear resonator. Left my mid resonator and rear muffler as-is. Have the perfect extra 15-20% grunt while keeping a similar tone to stock. Downshift burbles are quite a bit louder but still sound like burbles as opposed to gunshots.
