r/BMWG30

Absolutely loving the ride, makes driving fun again. Cheers

I had H&R springs on my ‘17 G30. Thinking about going coilovers this time around for my ‘23 🤔 which brand are y’all rockin with ?

Been on the hunt for 3 months finally found one I liked. M sport Package and 28k miles on the dash. Previous owner was a lease and I believe they financed and kept it low mileage probably old. Service records checked out and the car was exactly what I wanted for options. Praying for a safe delivery and a nice easy otd process

Recently purchased a BMW 540i with 30K miles. Alpine white with blue interior. Msport, HUD, HK sound, and 20” individual wheels! Already put black kidney grills and used BimmerCode for full screen carplay.

I owned this B58 baby since new to me with 13K miles back in Feb of 2022 and has been amazing and had everything I need as a luxury commuter for work up until this past month.

now with 73K miles on and zero issues beside tires and a battery recently, I now have a failed evaporator, pinion seal that is barely leaking, and a rear flex disk that needs to be replaced.

all maintenance up to this moment has been done at the dealership under the BMW ultimate care plus which i still have valid for another year of 14K miles.

the car has tires that are 6 months old, a new set of rear brakes and rotors that were replaced last month under the care plus plan.

the decision am facing is do I replace the evaporator now and keep the car or its time for it to start falling apart and becoming an endless pit? I truly love it and I am in no way liking the G60 or considering it. at the same time the car is plummeting in value and am not sure it will be a wise decision to wait for the new 5 series redesign which may or may not be in a year or 2.

fellow G30 folk, what would you do?

Just picked up this CPO '23 540i XDrive in Skyscraper Gray with M Sport package and 27K miles this past weekend and simply can't get enough of it! I spent longer than I probably should have researching what car I wanted and when this one popped up in my area I couldn't pass it up.

Location is driver side mainly coming from the hole in the brush guard under the car. Just started (noticed) today but I park in the same spot on the concrete so..

Anyways, liquid has an oil like feel pretty clear in color and translucent the black stuff on the picture of towel is the dirt from under the car surrounding the hole.

Additionally, I could see some coolant colored liquid splattered and wet parts under the main and secondary reservoirs along with the main being low.

Replenished the coolant and idled the car for a minute to see if it would leak more and moved to fresh spot of concrete to see.

Lmk your thoughts.

Own a 2018 bmw g30, tbh this car does not look like an 8 year old car. What do you guys think. In my opinion its an absolute beauty still in 2026

Before and after

12 mm fronts
18 mm rears

I'd like to make my chrome grille surround bluestone metallic. Are you able to separate the active shutters or is this one piece?

I'd also like to dechrome my window trim.

Any reputable places I could get a carbon fiber trunk ?

Would you go for this long wheelbase G38? Or the G30 that we all know and love.

The G38 has a comfortable rear seating arrangement, but on the outside it looks kinda odd (although I’m getting used to seeing long wheelbase cars because I live in China). Still the normal G30 is so sexy.

Should I go for the G38, or wait a little bit till I have enough for a G30?

I had my wheels painted because they were a bit scuffed and I was also a bit tired of the black wheels look.
