Updated. First bagged f44

Hello,

New here and wanted to show my f44.
Ive got it since June.

You can find me on Instagram aswell. @f44slegers

Ive lowered it with springs from h&r.
Wheels are 19inch MAM B2. Tires are ultrac vorti from Vredestein.

Tomorrow my roof and lights will be wrapped.
Exhaust Will be changed around the Summer aswell.

Only thing in concerned about is chipping. I would like a stage 1.
218 is nog enough punch for me tbh.

Looks really good man!

I used to think that blue matched well with the grey aero bits, but now I am sure the shadowline black looks even better.

I looked up your wheels and I saw they are ET45. Did you have any fitment problems? Did you need spacers? And what tire size did you put on them?

This is the shadowline black.
Might look grey due to the edit. Dunno.

For the wheels no fitment problems, didn't use spacers of anything.

Ya I meant that seeing it here with the shadowline black looks better.

Good to know about the wheels. I thought it was gonna be really hard to find wheels that fit. What size tires are you running?

@f44slegers

Totally agree on the need for a bigger punch from 218i. It may not be slow at ~8sec for 100km/h but it is not great either.

Do you have any thoughts on how to proceed with the tune (piggyback or not)? Have you heard any impressions from someone who has installed it?

I am asking because such information for the F44 (and especially the 218i) is not easy to be found. Only lead I have is a video in Facebook, in which a company from the Netherlands has installed a lvl 1 tune and succeeds ~7.5secs for 100km/h.

But apart from the smaller 0-100 km/h time, there are no other impressions on how the car really feels with the tune...

Hey, good looking car.
I'm in the process of buying 19" wheels and H&R springs.
Any rubbing issues when driving/cornering hard?
Maybe with family on board?

Update:

June 25 my exhaust is being done
Cant wait. 😁

New front grill (M2 look), front M2 csr lip, and maxton side skirt are going on soon aswell.

The grill and my calipers gold will be hopefully done this weekend.
My wheels are damaged tho. 3 out of 4. Its a shame really. Might repair Them and give Them another color, but since its my dailey aswell i might Just touch Them up myself. Hoving 500-600 euro's to repair Them for my wife (or me ) to hit the curb again.. shame of the money.

Build is coming nicely.

Will post pictures soon.
