Weekend Trip : 2015 F25 35i M-Sport AW with Pics

Recent trip to Shelter Island NY.
Just broke 2,000 miles so a few hundred more, an oil change and I can't wait to see how she drives at 4500+ RPMs. So far very pleased with the fit and finish and how the car handles and feels in both Comfort and Eco Mode. Surprisingly smooth on staggered 310M 20s...much smoother than my previous 2011 F25 SAP with staggered 309 19s. Definitely feels heavier than my previous F25...not by much but it is noticeable. Curious to what others think on the weight.

Enjoy the pictures.

Thanks for sharing the pictures, kozzi.

The 2015 definitely brings a more solidified feel to the driving experience. Braking, cornering, interior cabin comfort and noise, acceleration (not the 'rabbit starts' we would occ have with the 2011 esp), and instrument panel all seem improved (Nav much better, as is the camera quality as well). We still have our 2012, which I always thought was a step-up from our 2011, but the 2015 continues the evolution.

Will be interesting to see the G01 (3rd gen)...

Front license plate

Hi Kozzi

Can you please show how you zip tied the front bumper license plate or have you drilled holes into the bumper

Thanks

Here you go. Sorry for the crappy pic. I just enlarged one that I already had. It is hardly noticeable and you only need ties at the top since the bottom has slots for the tabs to slip into. If you are more patient than I am, you can slip the ties behind the plate so you don't see it at all. Just use the space that attaches the plate to the holder.

So much has improved it would take time to list them all. I can't wait for the G01 to debut. Weight reduction technology that we will see in the X7 will work its way into the G01. Not to mention the introduction of a true X3 M version.

Thanks for all your advise Kozzi!

You are a true inspiration!
