Hey guys, I’m no stranger to BMWs, my first car was proudly a 2003 manual 330i, and after spending an amazing few years with it, I decided to move up to something a bit newer and faster 😄

Thus, “Serena” was born…. and then I adopted her 7 years later lol.

She’s a 2017 340i in Melbourne Red.
Rocking the MPPSK, M-Sport body, and adaptive suspension from the factory, I couldn’t have asked for a better canvas to start my F30 journey with!

So far I’ve only done cosmetic mods:
  • Full OEM M-Performance Interior Trim
  • OEM M-Performance Shifter Trim, Base Plate, and E-Brake Cover.
  • VLand GTS Style v2 Tails in Black
  • 18x8.5 Apex Arcs on DWS06s (245/40/18)

Next up, I have some Autotecknic v3 carbon mirrors on their way soon, and I’m so amped for my custom steering wheel to come with all the fixings, mn laser cutting m1/m2 button kit (with yellow buttons and matching start button &#128293, magnetic shifter paddles with aluminum paddles, and the OEM F87 Steering Wheel Trim to match the interior.

I wish I could say I want to take my time, but damn, I’m looking at parts all day long, I want it all haha. Would love some feedback and opinions.

I’m based near Vancouver, BC, hopefully I’ll see some of you guys around!

More and better pics coming soon hopefully haha

Always nice to see a Melbourne Red F30. All she needs is to sit a little lower!

That's lovely; such a great colour

KW do their coilovers with a code-ourt EDC kit FYI unless you want to keep it; then maybe stick with the OEM shocks but fit lowering springs such as ACS or Eibach as an idea

I really enjoy the EDC, so I’d really like to keep it if possible while lowering an inch or two.

Completely understand, I only have a jb4 with the map for 91oct and have been running it for a little over 50k miles with no issues(car now has 105k on the clock). But recently moved to the land where they sell that corn fuel so stage 2 has become even more appealing, excited to see how it goes for you!
