Henseys F31 wagon

Introduction

After moving jobs meaning I’m now commuting further for work and the metro started playing up I decided it was time to get something modern this is it
So after dad having a 156sw I always liked/wanted a estate of some kinda originally i always thought the 159 in TI spec was the best looking estate out there that changed when I stumbled upon f31s

Anyway I started hunting I had a few must haves:
Msport
Xenons or led headlights
Larger 8.8” display (pro nav)
Auto
Heated seats
M performance brakes

I wanted ideally a 330d/335d
So looking on auto trader one night spotted a very high mileage 320d xdrive with all the the spec I wanted for an absolute steal

The next day we was on the way to Luton to collect it absolutely loved it on the drive back

The next few days consisted of my ordering a gloss black m performance splitter and 340i diffuser and matching backbox delete

I wanted apple CarPlay and with it being pre lci i had a few options do a one was a complete retro fit to the newer NBT evo out of an lci f31 changing the screen to an android unit, or go with a multi media interface box I chose the mmi box with that also making CarPlay wireless I decided to fit the lci cup holder section so I could fit a wireless charger

Pre lcis have normal fogs and it turns them on when going around corners and with the being the only halogen lights on the front it annoyed me slightly so changed to lci led fogs and coded them in to stop it telling me a bulbs put

Noticed it needed rear brakes so genuine discs and pagid pads sorted that

Other half got me a set of h&r lowering springs as it’s an xdrive it’s got non msport springs as it’s supposed to be a “4x4”

And while it was on the ramp having the rear brakes i noticed the one of the rear shocks leaking so decided while I was doing the springs I’d replace them with msport spec ones
