I had f30 2.0i once. It caught fire after 2 months of ownership. It had only 160k real km. One of the best cars I ever had but one of my worst investment ever.
Do you floor the accelator often? I’m thinking of getting a similar car but I want to drive it hard. I want to make sure it will be reliable even if it is driven hard. Thanks I love your build
I myself just had to spent 89 grand at the civic dealership to fix an empty windshield fluid tank on my 2015 honda civic si. Nothing is cheap these days.
Hi bro can you do an update on your f30 320i. Im curious to know how is the car after some months been tuned, so i also have a 2013 f30 320i it was bought 11 years ago and still strong at 319 783 KM. So planning to tune the car and do some maintenance(timing chain,oil pump, etc)
How’s it man , You have no idea how long I’ve been looking for a vid like this especially from SA . I also drive a 320i f30 and have been wondering about ways to go about modifying my F30 oh and also how’s the fuel consumption after the stage1 upgrade
The consumption is pretty much the same if you drive normally but when you on sports plus the consumption is definitely higher, I genuinely haven't seen a higher consumption on my day to day commuting
Great video! I have 2017 F30 and the screen is too small and no CarPlay. I wish to upgrade it to the iDrive of 8.8 inches (Same as yours now). You mentioned that you bought it and a friend connected it for you. I live in Pretoria, can you please connect me with the friend or any advice please? Thanks bro!
Honestly if you a buy a BimmerCode scanner you can tune your radio to have Bluetooth that’s the best you can do without swapping whole radio and buying aftermarket and ripping the dash apart
Great video man🤟🏾….quick question, was it just the screen that you bought or the wires that connect to the radio as well? Did you have to do any coding to the ECU? Since it was taking from an M3 which has more added features like Bluetooth, sat/Nav.
thank god i found your channel bro i got a mineral grey bmw 320i b48 2018 plate, so far ive done the following, real carbon fibre mirror caps real carbon fibre High PSM spoiler metal charge pipe and MST intake downpipe is next so i think youve confirmed what ive been researching all along please.... that the b48 320i and the 330i are really no different its just the way its tuned right? cause with your stage 1 your pretty much a 330i b48 stock bhp your extra 15 ish bhp im assuming will be coming from the pipe , should hopefully be same for me maybe a little more if ive got the intake aswell fingers crossed lol
The B48 is a better engine than the N20, with the similar setup as mine you’re definitely going to get slightly higher power, Yeah the B48 on the 20i and 30i are literally the same, you can tune the one on your car to run faster than a 30i.
@@thedriveshow That is actually incorrect - they are not literally the same, there are different versions of the B48! The block is the same, but the 320i achieves higher compression thanks to differently shaped piston heads than the 28i and 30i. The latter can take tuning better due to this, but the 320i is more fuel efficient by design.
@@Reaper_f30 Hope you didn't take his advice, as it is factually incorrect - those engines are not literally the same, there are different versions of the B48! The block is identical, but the 320i achieves higher compression thanks to differently shaped piston heads than the 28i and 30i. The latter two can take tuning better due to this, but the 320i is more fuel efficient by design.
I've just purchased a 2015 model and now I want it tuned too 😂 nice bro
Solid work done on this mate 🔥🤝🏾
What a clean build 🤌🏾🔥
Thanks Jossss
I’m gonna get the F30 as well
You will not regret
42k that is crazy, g20 costs that much, u got ripped bro, screen and steering wheel together cost 1-1500, the car itself is worth 10k max
Yeah bro 42k is wild 😂😂 I woulda been had a m5 competition
depends on the currency, maybe his country currency isn't that valuable comparable to euro or USD.
It’s the South African Rand guys.
its 2k usd
He said Rands not pounds not dollars
Dude your video just cut off. I thought it was going to continue 🤷🏾♂️ anyway, dope car and amazing content brother. Let’s go! 🚀
M3 vibes, very Massive🔥🔥🔥💯
Inspiring,looks too clean🤩

caught fire damn bro , sorry about that what was the cause?
@@mofine23 something electrical, I don’t exactly the cause but I think that was it
@@danatoma8797 im scared now
@@mofine23 better to boy diesel one, i think you are more safe
new sub bro - recently got my 320i
Longer vids + DIYs please
Good job with the car 👍🏿
Thanks alot Kuda, will work on making more longer content

I’ll respond simply if you push it like a German car you have to take care of it like a German engineer to make it reliable

Nice gains man, which motor do you have ? N20 or B48 ?
N20
What’s bro Bimmer Family !!! I have 330i we have same color too bro glacier metallic silver 😮💨😮💨 I love that color
It's such an amazing color
@@thedriveshow definitely is!
Great video man🤟🏾….quick question, was it just the screen that you bought or the wires that connect to the radio as well? Did you have to do any coding to the ECU? Since it was taking from an M3 which has more added features like Bluetooth, sat/Nav.
Dope!!
This is so cool!
Can you make a video Brackenfell
Love the car
Where did you go for the steering wheel and the display😢
Want an F30 as my next car, is it worth getting a 320i and modding it? Reliable? Quick? Thanks
Yeah it is, although you need to maintain your car properly
@@thedriveshow thanks bud, I always do myself👌
What’s the process of installing the new screen in the car ????
The secret is out now we know how to defeat this beast
Hi, quick question Did U have to pay a deposit?
was the 240i muffler a straight fit?
What mileage was it when you bought it?
thank god i found your channel bro i got a mineral grey bmw 320i b48 2018 plate, so far ive done the following,
real carbon fibre mirror caps
real carbon fibre High PSM spoiler
metal charge pipe and MST intake
downpipe is next
so i think youve confirmed what ive been researching all along please.... that the b48 320i and the 330i are really no different its just the way its tuned right? cause with your stage 1 your pretty much a 330i b48 stock bhp your extra 15 ish bhp im assuming will be coming from the pipe , should hopefully be same for me maybe a little more if ive got the intake aswell fingers crossed lol

Yeah the B48 on the 20i and 30i are literally the same, you can tune the one on your car to run faster than a 30i.
@@thedriveshow yes bro! Thanks for confirming my thoughts. Installed MST intake this morning, already pulling better. Greater throttle response
Hwzit bud, wanting to find out where you for the charge pipe and intake done?

i have a f30 myseld and i was wondering how you coded the steering
Oh and your numbers of 195kw sounds good to me
195 is more than enough to still maintain the reliability of the car
Yoh bro, I hope you see this message man, where did you code your steering wheel if I may ask?
I coded it myself
Can I hit you up privately bro? I need your help with that
did you have to code the m4 screen? if so please advise where/how...
I also need to know
Where can I get parts from other cars?
Hi bro , was there any re-wiring that needed to be done when adding the new steering and paddle shifters.
Howzit Resstin, Fortunately my specific car was already wired, I think all M-Sport models with an Auto Gearbox come wired from factory.
year model?
Bro, I have an N20, Let's meet at The Rock raceway 2moro??
This car has been as reliable as ever. Goes on to talk about a diff repair worth R40 k plus. Come on bro 😂
@@Dr-nacotics ha only happened because I was drifting. Differentials in these cars never break on just regular day 2 day usage
how did you code the paddles to work?
You need to get the software
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Are you still running run flats on it?
Yeah
Staggered setup 255 on the rear and 225s in font
@@thedriveshow which brand tires? Bridgestone and goodyear are always getting bubbles 💀
What year is your car
2015
M320i
Where did you do your donwnpipe ?
At SportMax Design SA (SMD)
Do you still think mine is tuned?🤣I'm the blue 320i you raced👀
Definitely, I won both races but the gap wasn’t how I anticipated. Definitely Tuned
Bro I need you to teach me some stuff please
Get sulev
Is this the msport version?
How did you get the paddles to work ?
