Zen's AW 335i M-Sport

Zen-man · 07-10-2014, 10:43 PM

Hello bimmer family! This is my first thread and I would like to introduce myself!

I have been lurking on these forums since February and been on it daily until my car finally arrived. I'm sure most of you know the pain of waiting for your car to arrive when you see hundred posts of people receiving their car. It's an awesome feeling to finally have it! I gotta say we are all blessed. Anyways here are the specs. Not as loaded as some F30's but I got what I needed.

BMW 335i M-Sport Alphine White
Black Sensatec
Aluminum Trim/Estoril Blue Highlight
Driver Assistance Package
Technology Package
Harmon Kardon Sound System
Black Kidney Grills
20" M5 Reps (F: 20x8.5 et35 R: 20x9.5 et37)

I didn't give stock a chance. I had 20" M5 Reps put on the car the very next day and it changes the whole look of the car. The ride height and stance of the car is almost perfect to me without any drop (stock M sport suspension). However, I'm still debating on if I should install the H&R Springs that are still sitting in my garage. What do you guys think?

Soon to come: Tints, Painted Reflectors, Carbon Fiber Lip Spoiler,..?

I got them installed by the dealer. But I'm sure it can't be that hard and I've seen instructions on how to install them somewhere on this forum.

Grilles are pretty simple to install. It depends on exact model but most you need to take off the radiator cover and then heat up the grille tabs by either heat gun or letting the car sit in the sun. This makes sure the tabs dont break off. Then you just push in the new grilles.

Loving the car! Really nicely done

Your friend's IPL is sick too. I used to be the owner of a G37S. What a fun driving car

If you need some help finding the right spoiler or other CF parts check out my site or PM me

Update time guys.

Gonna upload a whole set of new pictures and videos of my new mods!

First, here are some pictures after installing H&R Springs. The drop came out perfect and completely flush!

Let me know what y'all think!

Georgio_2 · 04-02-2015, 01:13 AM

are these the sport? or super sport? Thanks!

makiko · 04-02-2015, 01:23 AM

wow the drop looks nice! how much did you get the springs for and where in houston did you get them installed? I'm curious to know the price. I plan on lowering my car too.

cracing · 04-02-2015, 02:14 AM

beautiful drop and really want to do it for my car.

Felosenco · 04-02-2015, 06:34 AM

Love it - those wheels + drop is a match made in heaven👍

Bedista · 04-02-2015, 07:02 AM

Nice! I love AW! How do you like the rear offset? Does it poke?

goon · 04-02-2015, 07:34 AM

I got the springs for about $230-240. I don't remember the exact price. I got it installed from this guy I know he did it for $150. Most the of shops in Houston were charging me 400 and that's just ridiculous. PM if you want his contact information.

I love it man. It's perfectly aligned with the fender and it had that tucked in look. I think I got as tucked in as I could in the rear without rubbing. I've had 3 full size adults in the back seat and still didn't rub. I'll try to get some pictures of the rear offset tomorrow if you like.

Zen-man · 04-03-2015, 11:18 PM

So over the weekend I was bored and tried out plasti dip to see how it would look. I didn't really like the look but it was a fun project anyways. I took it off after a couple of days don't worry guys. Just putting this picture up for you curious folks.

DrivenByE30 · 04-04-2015, 12:23 AM

Glad you unplastidip

It is perfect as is... Your car doesnt need anything else...

But my eyes Need more photos from ya...

I agree your previous set up was more mean looking F30. Love your wheels, I was either going for the m5 reps or the 442Ms when converting my car to oem plus look. I have AW too very similar to yours, I See that your from Houston as well. if you want maybe we can meet and do a photo shoot? makiko have plans in meeting up as well, maybe when we can all do a photo shoot? here's mine http://f30.bimmerpost.com/forums/sho....php?t=1108789

Zen-man · 07-17-2015, 06:28 PM

Thought I would share this picture I took today after I washed her. Few updates.

Ordered some colored vinyl stickers from ebay for my grill. Been getting a lot of compliments on them and really stands out. Cool how something so small and cheap makes a big difference.

Also, just ordered the JB4 for my car last night and I am super excited

!! Can't wait to get it installed!

P.S- Hopefully I can get a full on photo shoot done soon! I know y'all are tired of my crappy phone pictures lol
