I have the M sport bumper front an rear on my 340 but looking to make it a bit more aggressive looking. The street i live on have speed bumps and NJ/NY potholes ain't no joke. Any recommendations/comments?

What do you have done so far for cosmetics?

My f30 is RWD and I still have a varis style front lip on mine and I don't have any problems with speedbumps and you would have a higher clearance since you're xdrive. If you have the standard 340i exhaust then maybe upgrade to the MPE, the tip size difference really changes the car as well.

None rite now, looking into getting some stuff to have her ready for next summer.

I'm not putting any money into mods on mine because I live around the same roads as you...and want to be able to enjoy my Xdrive this Winter without worrying about ground clearance. Also, I've learned to love interest--no better way to make money than doing nothing.

How's your car running otherwise? So far, mine has been fine--96k miles now. Knock on wood!

Whatever you end up with, I wouldn't spend a lot of money on it; think of it as a consumable that you'll replace every couple of years.

Yea that makes sense, would hate to spend a few hundred bucks on a part only to have snow knock it off. I'm about to change my coolant, not sure if the previous owner ever did it and i'm up to 71k and i got it at 45k. My seat won't go back and forth anymore so i'm a check the motor and see if its done or if its stuck or something. Weird because my passenger seats work fine. Other than that, everything is fine. Knock on wood. Lol

The OE/replica m performance sideskirt extensions and rear diffuser look great and aren't really susceptible to damage.

Front lip.... I'm putting mine on today. From what I've read the m performance one does require you to change some diving habits. I'll know soon how it handles steep driveways and potholes 😂

Be aware if you have a lowered suspension your OEM M Performance lip could drag on sidewalk entrance ramps, some road destruction/construction dips, loading onto a car carrier etc. I've had my OEM M Performance lip with eibach pro kit springs on Koni's (less than an inch drop) for over a year on my 340 xDrive M Sport. The lip is scraped up underneath but looks fine otherwise. I'm careful when I see an obvious hazard but to be honest it does take away from the more carefree experience I had prior to it's install. If it was carbon fiber, it would have been toast the first week after install. I think if I was to do it again I would have been better off with no lip spoiler or an M3 or M2 style front bumper and call it a day.
