The drop in height that the H&R springs provide is perfect, the car should have been at this height from factory. With that said, the dampers are too soft for these springs, which give the car a bouncy ride especially at higher speeds. There are moments that I wish I would have gone with KW V1, but for the daily use of the car, the H&R springs are good enough for the time being.
Also, the car has 12mm spacers up front and 15mm in the rear along with extended bolts. Wheels & tires are stock, along with the spacers the tires are flush with the fenders.
Detailed the car on Sunday as well, it was good and bad at the same time. Found some deep scratches on the car along the passenger side and seems like the previous owner tried to touch up the paint on the hood and actually made it worst.
Overall the car is coming along nicely. An exhaust is something I’ve been eyeing, not sure which one to go with... any suggestions?

Yeah, if you own a 335i, you mod it, don't keep it stock, you're just wasting it's potential
Either go between AWE Tuning+midpipe or Borla S-type/ATAK (may need a small modification to fit it.)
Personally, after the exhaust, I would grab a chargepipe and new lightweight wheels. I recently bought ones that weighted 21lbs front, 20lbs rear, and they made a world of difference in handling, acceleration, braking, you name it, also did not need spacers as the size of the rims were perfectly flush with the fender. H&R springs are garbage IMO, Dinan springs (if you have the m adaptive suspension) or coilovers would have been the better option. I've had a bunch of my buddies with H&R on their 335i bottom out and too harsh of a ride. I have the Dinan springs, and they're absolutely perfect.
I had a friend who has a subaru STI, and keeps teasing me on how BMW sucks and how overpriced it is.
He'll grow up soon
