Looking for F33
Hello
I used to own an e93 335i many years ago but had to sell it due to growing family. I've got the itch again and want to jump into an F33, however I'm after one which has the M performance kit fitted as I think it gives it a unique look but they seem to be rare as hens teeth, only 3 or 4 listed on AT. Can anyone give advice on where I should look. AT is a bit rubbish in that most of the ad's don't actually list the m performance kit. My alternative option was to maybe buy one without the kit and fit it myself but I believe this will be very expensive to do retroactively. It doesn't help that I can't seem to find prices for the kits. I've seen a few rear spoilers etc but the carbon\black side skirts seem impossible to source from anywhere. |

Still supplying these at £299 for the full gloss black kit. Picture of my old F33 440 with that kit fitted. HTH |

That does look good but I'd either want the original BMW M perf kit or a good quality Carbon Fibre kit. Annoyingly that site you linked lists carbon fibre kits for the F32 and F36 but not the F33.
Also where did you get the side skirt decals from? I assume they are replica's as I think the BMW ones cover most of the side bumper in black. |

The water gets trapped in the rear wings as the drain holes are crap and get blocked really easily. It then builds up until it eventually overflows into the boot. As long as it hasn't got to the overflowing stage and damaged anything, the fix for the drains is very very simple so I wouldn't necessarily run a mile. My F33 was a really low mileage pampered car when I bought it and I still got nearly a gallon of water out of both wings. I only noticed it as I could hear it sloshing about when reversing into my garage! |

My F33 is 3.5 years old now, no water ingress, (maybe BMW fixed that?)
435d xdrive diesel, goes like stink and still gets 39 mpg. The six pot 3 litre diesel is sweet and indestructible but if you are a petrol head you wont get that growl! |
