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.

Totally bud! I actually got custom legacy 1960 license plate and it's black plate with yellow/gold'ish fonts so I changed em to Bronze/gold'ish color so they kinda compliment the car on the front and rear.

Any suggestions on caliper colors?

And thank you!

Well, pretty much anything goes with black exterior, but I'd think red or blue would pop best with your wheels, yellow might not be enough of a contrast, if that's what you'd be looking for.

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!
+1! I love my silver on black setup and I love how OP's looks in the same color scheme, but to each his own.

Either way, beautiful car, great find/spec! Enjoy it!

Yea I was thinking about it, I think red would look pretty sick, let me look into it and see if I wanna paint or powdercoat.

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

They were actually from the exhaust shop, they looked bigger on the wall compared to the stock that the car came with so I asked him if it will fit and he said yea, so we chopped the ones that came with MPE and welded those.
