Disclaimer: This is going to be a huge post lol.
Hi guys, it was a dream to even join this forum and to be able to share the experience and joy of driving this mean machine and I am super excited to share the details. I started my research 6 months before I was going to buy the car and I hella knew I am gonna opt out for F30 335i for obvious reasons. I found such a sick deal or so I think. It's a 2013 BMW 335i M-sport and I purchased it in March, 2018 with only 15,xxx miles. I live in Sacramento and I wanted a specific one so I was searching in like 500 mile radius. Some rich white old folk had this car as a weekend car and he traded this in for a Porsche. So the car came fully loaded minus the heated seats. This has BSMS, 360 view cameras, HK sound system, Front/Rear PDC, M-sport steering wheel, M-sport 19" rims and all the other goodies as usual. List of things I have currently done to the car: 1. M style stainless steel front and rear License Plate frame. 2. M colored double spoke front black kidney grill. 3. Plasti dipped the 403m Stock wheels to Matt Bronze (At one point I plasti dipped them gunmetal). 4. M performance side skirt stickers. 5. M3 style carbon fiber painted side rear view mirrors. 6. M performance exhaust with colored burnt tips (Exhaust is clamped and tips are welded). 7. Carbon fiber trunk lip/spoiler. 8. Rear diffuser. 9. Full LED LCI taillights. 10. Red Start/Stop button. 11. M projector door lamps. 12. M performance lit up door sills. 13. Running Valentine one Radar detector. 14. Bimmercode coding to add couple features (fold mirrors on lock and vice-versa, disclaimer off, unlock doors when ignition off). 15. Stainless steel brake and gas pedals. 16. 100% tint in the rear and 35% on the front. 17. VRSF all aluminum Charge pipe (Throttle body to the intercooler). 18. Bootmod3 Stage 1 91 octane flash tune. |

Welcome to the forum!
I liked the gunmetal wheels better, but that's just a personal preference. Considered painting those calipers? Nice work overall. |

Congrats on the car and welcome! I'm really liking those tips, if you can send me a link on where you got them lmk because I'm not the biggest fan of the BMS ones so far.

Nice! Congrats....just a few suggestions
Peel off that plastidip.....the wheels looked way better in the original silver Silver on black looks clean af imo. Order some $20 smoked side reflectors from eBay Also, I'd ditch the front plate.....I've never had one on any of my cars and never been hassled or ticketed......maybe you live somewhere else in Cali or street park where they crack down on that though? Welcome to the forums! |

haha something happened and I ended up peeling them off. Tbh gunmetal felt dull, like it didn't excite or made any contrast but I get what you mean cuz that's the first reason why I did gunmetal
