www.usmillworks.com. Just put one on my 335 this morning. Also have one on the F31. Excellent quality, highly recommended.

Congrats and welcome!

Cosmetics wise I have
-tinted windows 25%, around $300
-wrapped roof in gloss black, around $300
If you look you can probably find it for cheaper but the wrap and tint does make the car look more aggressive if you're going for that look.
-carbon fiber spoiler, mirror caps, and front splitter
-new rims will also make your car stand out

Performance mods
-new tires, replace the run flats
-JB4 will be the most simple and with a downpipe it makes the car perform noticeably better

Good luck!

Agreed on the us mill works adapter. It's pricey but I was blown anyway by the quality and engineering. Get the quick release adapter, too. No issue at all with PDC sensors and the m sport bumper.

It has been less than two weeks with the car, and its already in the shop for repairs. I got a battery malfunction while driving, and it would not allow me to drive any longer. When the car got towed to the service center, they took a look and also found out that the belts were torn. They're going to replace the engine on the car because bits of the belt got far into the engine? I'm not sure exactly what he meant by it. I'm confused whether or not I should be happy about getting a new engine. Going to head over to the dealer today, and check out the car and see where it's at, maybe I can snap a few more pics to share.

OH NO! Sorry you have to go through this. I'm guessing this was CPO? If so, they should have caught the belts before they certified it. Either way, looks like you will be enjoying a new engine. On the upside you get a new engine. I wonder if the warranty is extended for a new powerplant?

Dang, that sucks to have something like that happen and you've only had the car for such a short time.
Like jmg said, I'd hopefully assume it was a CPO, which most likely means a warranty extension on the engine replacement.
Tell them to give you a nice loaner!

I'm 20 years old so they won't even give me a loaner. They gave one to my mom and it's a 320i with literally nothing in it. Yea it was CPO, so everything was covered on it.

I didn't even think of that. How old do you have to be to get a loaner? 25?

Lol. Same thing happened to me back when i was 19-20. I took my e46 zhp in for some cpo work and they wouldnt give me the loaner. I was so mad. My mom came in and they gave us a 335i. I ended up using it anyways

[svic628]

First thing i would do is LCI tail lights and body color the front and rear reflectors. Next JB4. That should give u a real clean look and something to work with. Stick with BMW Performance parts if you can. From experience with my e46 they may be a little pricey now but once they stop making them people will go crazy looking for them and pay good money for the parts and you will have them if u decide to sell car!
