To be honest after that ltbmw with 6er front nothing they do to f30 looks as good anymore...

I like rear spoiler on this f30 though.

For what its worth e90 ages well esp with lci rear and msport pack. F31 looks nice in touring guise. But all these f30 lines looks silly. M sport costs 6k usd here.... ill be fine with e90 for few more years.

but ill go to f31 once they are affordable used. Hopefully that 90s interior grows on me though.

BKap08 · 07-21-2012, 07:40 PM

i remember when i first saw the f30 i HATED it, then i went to the dealership to look at one, i think it only looks good with the Sport line. Now when i see them on the road i love them. The side profile is definetly where the car looks the best. The front lip added from 3D design looks SO good. BMW should have made the car look like that from the factory. People will start to grow and like the f30...itll just take time.

I disagree. The F30 in person has a more aggressive stance and looks much cleaner than the E90. Just IMO, of course, but I'm sure a lot of people feel this way. I would imagine people who just bought an E90 feel like they should have waited this new model looks so clean. My only real gripe is the hoodline on the F30, and unfortunately nothing can change that.

This is speaking only of the 328/335 model as the new M hasn't been revealed, yet.

Agree. It is definitely a car that looks better in person.

The Aric wheels on the sport package look cheap in pictures but in person, they are sick. It is the whole perspective deal

The fact is that the preys eyes are stretched out to the side for surrounding visibility.

Predators' eyes are located directly in front, close together to focus & lock onto the preys.

The F30 the headlights & grilles are too low & stretched all the way out to the side, giving you the impression of a prey rather than a predator.

Te stock bumper is horrendous looking, msport front bumper helps a bit, but good luck modding the front of the F30 to be aggressive.

F30 Pilot · 07-22-2012, 02:45 AM

I'm liking the roof spoiler, nice and suttle. I'm surprised they didn't do a rear diffuser.

Never thought of it this way, but I think you're onto something there. I think PreLCI E92 has captured that agressive focused look best out of all recent BMWs. In fact, it probably has the best BMW face they ever... only i8 is nicer and more agressive but given it's not out yet, it doesn't count.

francis_william · 07-22-2012, 09:12 PM

IMO, the new F30 looks way better than the E90, If I was forced to drive an old bimmer, E46 will always be my choice over the E90. E90's interior is awful, even in the M3...

Devas · 07-23-2012, 09:24 AM

E46 is still the best looking 3 series at it's time

scott@bmwhn · 07-23-2012, 09:59 AM

Great looking products as always. Can't wait to see what they do for the Msport.

Despite the fact that the factory valance has a seam and appears removable, it is not.

No sir. The front lip is held in place by 3M tape as well as a few factory bolts.

what's the suspension on this thing ?

The car is lowered on 3D Design's in-house coilover.

Of course. The F20 kit as well as the F30 m-sport kit are next on the agenda. I will update the thread with M-sport photos when ready.

Looking way better than the e90.

No price has been determined yet as they are trying to figure out something for the rear diffuser, but as soon as they do we will announce it.

The front lip is a urethane piece and can be painted any color you like.

So, no details on the dual exhaust on a 328i??

FotiosF90M5 · 07-24-2012, 11:14 AM

This lip will be a lot more convenient to do than getting the msport bumper as it will obviously be easier to do and look just as good. Im sure this will be very expensive but my paypal is ready for it right now. IND, can I just have it now?

F555 · 07-25-2012, 12:00 PM

is the whole kit available to order yet??

Waiting to hear back from Japan. It will be a good 2-3 weeks before we see the first piece stateside, but in the interim we are trying to get pricing together for pre orders.

Ryan@IND · 07-27-2012, 09:58 AM

Some more photos from the gents at 3D Design Japan. Also, featured is their brushed aluminum e-brake handle with suede insert and the trademark pedal set.

onehungevo · 07-27-2012, 10:39 AM

The brake looks nice but sure how I feel about the large 3D design on the top.
