Recommendations for my 330i

Hey Guys,

New to the BMW. Just got the 2019 330i. Was a Lexus owner, but I am loving my new Beamer.

Looking to install a rear spolier. Please let me know your recommendations or suggestions. Links would be appreciated.

Also, I noticed the orange front bumper reflector. Are there any aftermarket ones that will better suit the color of the car.

What mods or coding can I do on my vehicle? I have been reading that some guys are saying my model does not have many options to code. See my signature for my vehicle features.

Please feel free if move my post to the correct thread if I am posting it in the wrong place.

Unfortunately there aren't any front lips available for our sportline cars. Only for M sport models.
Same for rear diffuser (our cars don't have one).

One of the mods (when it comes to styling) you can do is to get a tailgate spoiler. Any of the ones available should fit since the tail gate lid is the same. You can check out the various threads here for different ideas.

And you can code a lot of stuff using bimmercode or esys. My car has the same packages as yours and I've done the following to my car (using bimmercode since it's easy to use):

1. A.S.S off
2. Sport plus and comfort plus added to live cockpit and iDrive
3. Lane change indicator to 5 blinks
4. Car start in sport individual mode
5. Mirror tilt on reverse to 50%
6. Engine sound options
7. Auto steering wheel heat
8. Coasting
9. B&W equalizer (no difference with base HiFi system)
10. Temp and psi widget in live cockpit
11. Rear DRL
12. Macro trailer camera
13. Different ambient light colors

You can also code ASD off if you want to. And there are other codings such as alpina gauge or M gauge for live cockpit available.

And I believe the front reflectors are the same for sportline and M sport models. The rear reflectors are different. I've blacked out the front and rear reflectors using blackout tape (instead of getting body colored ones since it was as significantly cheaper and I loved the look when I saw it on a different car).
I have debadged my car and I love the clean rear end. I was going to paint the emblems black and put it back on but the clean tush looked even better.
I have painted the tail pipe tips in matte black. If I had to redo it, I'd do it in gloss black using black engine enamel paint.
I changed the chrome grill to an all black one. I got an excellent deal on a used grill and I love the de-chromed look for the front grill.

The link below mentions using esys but it's the same for bimmercode.

You can get a front lip but it's upwards for USD400. And there's no rear diffuser yet for our sportlines.

I'm surprised it's taken so long for something to come out. I spent hours finding the perfect parts to only realize they won't fit on my car.

Check your notifications. I've mentioned you in the sportline front lip thread

They're stock on the M340 and I'm not sure if they can be retrofitted.

Front lip, rear diffuser.

You can also remove the switch for the exhaust so valve is always open. Makes it sound better (in my opinion).

You can just use bimmercode for that ive done it on my 330i just search for engine sound believe under headunit module and code both values to aktiv then set option to sporty
on headunit in car settings > other > engine sound
