What's up guys
I decided to make a build thread to keep track of what I do to my car and see its progression from the time I bought it. I sold my 2009 Honda Civic Si and a year later purchased my 2013 BMW 335i M-Sport on Dec.28th 2016. It is mineral grey with coral red interior and is a six speed manual rear wheel drive model. I bought the car used from a dealer in Brooklyn, and it came with 20% tinted windows and gloss black kidney grills when I bought it. But anyhow:

First day bringing it home (12-28-16):







Ordered a Jb4 for it which came in the mail which I have yet to install:


Decided to complete the 60k mile service including oil change, spark plugs, tranny fluid, and rear diff fluid with redline fluids:



Ordered and installed BMS Performance Cold Air Intake (1-12-17):


When I bought the car the front bumper was chipped so decided to buy a front lip to cover the chip up:




Ordered VRSF Catless downpipe, and carbon fiber deck lid spoiler, which I still have to get installed.


Picked up a set of Alufelgen SF71's off a local member, and ordered spacers today, can't wait to install (5-6-17)



Alright, So finally got a chance to install some stuff.

Carbon fiber rear deck lid spoiler, Tow hook front license plate relocator, spacers, and wheels all installed: (5/20/17 weekend)






Got my mirror caps wrapped gloss black and reflectors tinted: (5/24/17)




Finally got my VRSF Catless downpipe installed and JB4 put in. European Auto in Island Park NY did the install, I highly recommend them (6/9/17):

Found someone local parting out his F30 on Craigslist, and picked up a mint OEM M-Performance rear diffuser. By far one of favorite mods, very subtle yet aggressive (7/2/17):



Got a great deal on an Active Autowerke 5" front mount intercooler and charge pipe that I couldn't pass up on. So ordered it and had the intercooler and charge pipe installed today. 7/14/17







Had my OEM 400m wheels powder coated gloss black and ceramic coated 8/1/17
(Sold my Alufelgen wheels after I cracked one wheel - Thanks to NY roads)

Removed JB4 after a week of having it installed and was running on a stock tune for almost 9 months - was very unhappy with the piggyback system. It gave me many problems and was a very sloppy way to tune your car in my opinion. I decided I wanted to go with a protune and after months of researching and deciding on who to get my car tuned by and where to get it done, I settled on protuningfreaks newest bm3 platform. Unlocked my DME and flashed my ecu all from the comfort of my garage. Decided to run a stage 2 OTS E30 tune. The car is an absolute beast to say the least. (3-16-18)

After over a year of wanting an exhaust, I finally decided to pull the trigger and spend the money on the setup I had always wanted.
AWE Tuning Touring Edition Axleback Exhaust w/102mm chrome exhaust tips installed. (4/29/18)
Sounds absolutely beautiful.

Ordered ///M projector door lights off Amazon and Installed them, one of the cheapest and favorite mods of mine. 5/31/18



Ordered a new carbon fiber front lip since my previous lip broke in half and flew off on the highway It came in the mail today and I installed it the second the FedEx guy dropped it off. Fitment is better than previous lip, still miss my old one though. (6/30/18)

^Thank you sir!

Ordered a front bumper tow hook license plate mount, and picked up a set of Bridgestone All-Season tires for my stock 400m wheels.
Will be mounting wheels/spacers, installing decklid spoiler, and front license plate mount next weekend Still trying to find a spot to have my downpipe and jb4 installed in Ny

Nice build

[JAhmed]

Nice car, especially with the 6MT! Petrolwerks in Lindenhurst does a lot of BMW work, perhaps worth giving them a call if you're looking for a shop to install your parts.

Thank you! I have a couple of shops in Queens that I go to, I just haven't had the time yet. Think I'm going to get everything installed next week

[khizerf30]

Alright, So finally got a chance to install parts I had lying around, still have to get my downpipe and Jb4 put in.

It's a beautiful car, and your mods look great. You may have convinced me to get the front lip, I was hesitating.

Wheels look good!

Thank you! It seems as though we have very similar cars haha. I had the lower section painted gloss black and it looks great in my opinion

Update 7/14/17:

Got a great combo deal on an active autowerke front mount intercooler and charge pipe so ordered it. Got it in the mail a few days ago and just had installed today. Intercooler weight and quality is much nicer than oem and it looks more aggressive behind the grill.

Update:

I cracked two of my Alufelgen wheels (Thanks to NY roads) so took them off my car and had my stock 400m wheels powder coated gloss black (8/2/17):

Thank you! Blue calipers with the //M logo is in the plans

[khizerf30]

It's been a while since I've last updated my build thread but car has been in storage most of winter months. Have a tune purchased, and searching for the right exhaust setup. Looking to do tune, exhaust, and lci tail lamps this season

[khizerf30]

So finally got my car tuned. Went with protuningfreaks newest bm3 platform. Unlocked my DME and flashed my ecu right from my garage. Running an OTS stage 2 E30 tune and the car is an absolute beast. Once I get an exhaust, and some new ignition coils I will be having a custom tune created for my car.

Also, broke my front lip testing out the tune on a windy day high speeds and wind literally ripped my lip off
