Zara's Build Thread | Mineral Gray 335i M-Sport

Figured I would start a build thread or a journal just to keep track of everything that I'm planning on doing in the future and everything that I've already done to the car. Little backstory, I bought this 335i back in June, 2017 with only 29k miles on it fully stock and one previous owner. When shopping around, I already knew I wanted a N55 M-Sport Mineral Gray with Red Coral interior. The car had to be a manual with RWD. I was lucky to find one a few hours away from my location during that time and I made the trip to pick it up shortly after.

After owning this car for 2 years already, I can say without a doubt it still puts a huge smile on my face. Can't go wrong with a manual transmission and the mods are just a bonus . I'm running a custom MHD tune hitting about 19-20psi. I think the car sounds phenomenal with the M Performance exhaust and VRSF catless downpipe (oh and throw in the CTS turbo intake for a little extra swoooosh). In regards to the red coral interior, I've seen a lot of people always contemplating whether to get it or not and honestly I haven't regretted it once. The mineral gray exterior with the red coral interior is such a beautiful combo. Here's the rundown of my car and mods..

Perfect car!

is the lowering only achieved by changing to H&R springs?
I'm still doubting if I will do this or not. On your car it looks perfect to me!

Thank you!
Yes I only used H&R sport springs (not super sport) to lower my car, with bilstein b8 shocks & struts (but not required).
