435 Estoril M-Sport Build Thread
Hey Guys,
Recently picked up a new 435 M-Sport in Estoril Blue and wanted to share the progress! Picked up the car because my previous A3 was rear ended by a drunk driver at 9AM and totaled Driver had no license or insurance! Before: After: On to the F32! Car is a 435 M-Sport with most of the goodies. LED Headlights, Tech Package, Driver Assit, and Cold Weather. Didnt get the M Sport Brakes or HK Audio, big regrets there! As it arrived: First things first, threw on a set of 20x8.5 +30 20x10 +38 M510s in Bespoke 3 Matte Antique Bronze with 225/35/20 255/30/20 tires. Fit like a glove with no rubbing on the OEM suspension The original 422 M Sport wheels are for sale! Only 235 miles, you can find the info here. Next thing we did was throw on a set of BMW Performance Style No Drill pedals to complete the look with the deal pedal. Didnt understand why they only included one part of the set. Now before anyone says anything, I know the real ones are only $120. But I've installed several sets of drill on pedals before, and drilling through the solid steel brake pedal is one of the most annoying things to do. Takes forever and the holes never line up right (for me). I got these and installed these within 5 minutes, well worth it! They match the OEM dead pedal pretty well Next up dropped the car off at Injen to get the first 435 intake installed! Fit and finish was great, the butt dyno felt more torque immediately at lower RPMs, and the you can now hear the bypass valve whenever you let off the gas! The car was Dyno'd as well, waiting to receive the numbers, overall loving the mod! Thats it so far, but lots more to come! Car currently still has under 1,000 miles On order: KW V1s P3 Cars Digital Vent Boost Gauge Performance Style CF Lip/Sides/Diffuser/Trunk Spoiler Last edited by GetYourWheels; 10-24-2014 at 05:28 PM.. |

Glad you're ok from the accident. Sucks about the A3. Is this your first BMW?
Nice job so far, look forward to seeing your progress. I still haven't put my pedals in, it's like I just want to keep teasing myself hahaha |

They're OEM.
hahaha man we're on the same page. I've actually been thinking about getting another E46 just for a daily. Can't seem to shake the love I had for that car. Luv those rolling shots of yours btw. |

where did you get your no drill pedals? how do they attach and are they secure? I had a set of drilled pedals in a prior audi and I could never get them to fit quite right.
I also didn't get the M sport brakes. Are you going to add them? |

I'll keep the 435 at a low-ish daily driven height Quote:
Good memory, that was a while ago! Great times were had at E46F! |

So I'm wondering if anyone else has had this problem:
Using Start/Stop, come to a stop at a light and the engine turns off. Sitting at the light with my foot on the brake, and the engine starts itself even though I didn't move my foot or touch the steering wheel. This also happens if I put the car into park and dont touch anything. Not a huge issue but kind of annoying. Thoughts? |

It turns itself on quite often though. I feel like I'm wasting gas! Thanks for the info! |

Exactly. I can't remember all the stipulations it needs to meet, it might be in the manual somewhere...

Sad to see the A3 go out that way...
Though, looking forward to seeing more progress with the F32 build !
