Thanks and thats why im not changing them!! They look much better in person then even the pics. Classy and sporty. I have the staggered wheels with the summer tires. The gave me the potenzas. Raised top speed limiter. Only thing i might do is throw on the new Michelin A/S 3 tires onto these wheels and see how they are in the snow this winter and in the dry next summer. They looks like great tires and really dont what to have to buy a set of snow wheels and tires.

Front rotor: 340x30mm (Millimeter) / Brake Caliper with 4 pistons
Rear rotor: 330x20mm / Brake Caliper with 1 piston

Original Brakes on all other models are:
Front rotor: 330x24mm (Millimeter) / Brake Caliper with 1 piston
Rear rotor: 300x20mm / Brake Caliper with 1 piston

Pricelist Option (Factory upgrade) with 2NH M Sport Brakes (blue colored) will bring that to:
Front rotor: 370mm (Millimeter) / Brake Caliper with 4 pistons (for 328i, 335i, 325d, 330d, 335dx)
Front rotor: 340mm / Brake Caliper with 4 pistons (models below 328i/325d)
Rear rotor: 345mm / Brake Caliper with 2 pistons (on all models)
(So the 2NH option one can order from the factory is different. It is not the same for a "high power" or "low power" model!
High power models (328i, 335i, 325d, 330d, 335dx) get 370mm diameter rotor in the front. Others get 340mm rotor in the front. But the brake caliper will always be blue color)

M for marketing. Let's put crap brakes and make ppl buy what the standard should be. 1 piston calipers standard on a 40k car?! cmon now.

I was just saying these aren't the same as the m performance brakes you can buy so I don't understand the M on there. Heck, I don't understand M on everything now.

Nice car though (minus all the M badges).

They ARE exactly the same as the M Performance brakes, except for non-slotted discs. So these calipers are as much (or as little) "M" as the performance-calipers.

belt feeder

absolutely gorgeous!!!

May I ask if it's true that the belt feeder stays out for too long before retracting back even when you already grabbed the belt?

It looks awesome!!! Congrats!

the wheels are great; the exterior colour combined with the red seats is an eye candy

considering the car is low on the road, how is getting inside and out of it in every-day life?

Wow, congrats and thanks for posting. I'm bias but MG is a great colour on this car.

Interesting to hear your views on the differential handling over the F30. It's expected but nice to hear nonetheless.

Enjoy!

I agree BMW is watering the M name with these BS M sport options.

Very nice car, for those concern about the m badge being every where who cares! It's still doesn't make it an m car.

Hey OP, nice ride! Best of luck with it.

Does the car have the new LED low beams? If so, any chance you can take night shots of the lights and how they project onto a wall or something. Just curious.
