TikTok...Mineral Grey Sport 335i w/19" countdown...

So I ordered an F30 last week and couldn't be more excited for its arrival! This will be replacing my current 09 335i sedan...marking my 4th new 3er in the past 9 years. Sort of funny that I dont even hesitate ordering a car that I have never seen or drove before, just faith in BMW that their new model will rule as always!

Here are the specs of my new baby:

Sport Line
Mineral Grey
Premium package -Black Leather
Aluminum / black gloss trim
Adaptive M Susp
19" wheel upgrade
Sport AutoTrans / paddles
PDC
Rear view cam
Heated front seats
Sat Radio
No line badges

All I know is I cant wait until mid-March! Car goes in to production 2nd week of Feb...

The clock is ticking....tik tok

I can't determine which would look better on the F30 Sport - Glacier Silver or Mineral Gray

These cars actually come with the line name pasted on? So you can have a car that has the word Modern in chrome on the outside?

You are lucky, I drove a 320d Sports line last weekend with the 8 speed box and I must admit it is one of the best BMW,s I have ever driven and yes I have been lucky enough to have driven the 1M and F10 M5.
Good luck with your purchase I know you are going to enjoy it.

congrats! mine 335i sport line begins in March for Jet Black and I keep changing my configuration

I just can't decide about the leather. costs keep adding up and although I don't need technology package I really want BMW Apps for pandora, Internet radio, etc. along with the better screen.

Personally, I think mineral gray. It's a great cross between steel gray and sophisto/dark gray metallic. And for some people who care, it does a better job at hiding the hood line.

True, but i feel Mineral Gray hides the lines of the F30, you can't see the shadows either. Also Glacier Silver is easier to keep clean/hides dirt. Mineral looks really dark, not like Space Gray that I was hoping for this time around.

Also true. Just goes to show that there's pros and cons to basically every single color

I ordered a virtual twin to yours but put tech pkg and HUD plus sports steering in the mix. Planning Performance Center delivery and know an instructor there. They will get their 335's before mine arrives so very interested to get his feedback on the car.

Congrats on taking the plunge with the rest of us first run folks. Always ordered alpine white cars before but just can't adjust to the lines and think the mineral grey will present the overall car much better.

Normally, yes. Option code 3DZ removes this and BMWNA requires this option so we thankfully won't be imposed on us here in the US.
