Bye bye 328i, hello 435i! (2015 435i build thread)

After bmw settled the n2x lawsuit this summer, I decided to take the timing chain update money I feared having to spend and upgrade my whole situation. I loved my 2013 328i and she was a great introduction to bmw. I made her beautiful and tried my hardest to make her what I wanted her to be. It was a short and sweet romance that fizzled quickly. There's one last picture to remember her by...

But THIS bimmer? Ohhh I'm gonna marry her. She got that natural fat booty. She's everything I wanted and more. Clean, pretty, smart, throaty. I am in 100% love with a coupe.

She's a 2015 435i m sport with 32k miles. Everything for stage 2 already en route. Matte black side sills, rear extensions, and grilles en route. Tint booked for oct 20.

This is now my new build thread

Did you get a descent offer for your 328? That car was amazing. Did you sell that
to CARVANA?

Carvana gave me just over $12k for a 2013 328i n26, 60200 miles, no navi, sport line, standard trans. I kbb valued it in that range. $11500 being about avg so they did ok for me. The 435i valued from $25-$28k. I'm paying $26. I believe the only options not on the 435i are adaptive suspension amd m performance brakes?

Appreciate it kindly. I have AG m359's thatll be going on soon, and I'll use my 400m's for winter wheels once the weather is bad, in case I must drive it.

haha, similar story here, had the 328ix for about 14 months before I moved to 435ix with a nice trade in deal. Just like you it was a good introduction to BMWs for me. Didn't modify the 328 at all, just some minor cosmetic stuff but the 435ix has had a lot of upgrades so far, you can see most of it in my signature. Good luck with the build

It was impossible to find a 435i M sport with that low of miles. You're lucky, enjoy it. I have a Sportline 435i.

Did you already order bm3? If not then I highly recommend looking into MHD also, the OTS maps run safer. Bm3 has better UI for logs and better customer support. If planning on going custom them doesn't matter much. Bm3 seems to be too sensitive about fuel quality. I run bm3 myself, both are great options. I do need to add some E85 every time to clean up timing, with 91 octane map and 93 octane fuel I still see timing being pulled back. Will try ACN next, seems like the fuel over here is complete garbage I have heard from a few members and on facebook also that for a given area and similar map MHD logs look better, be it timing or AFR, which suggests fuel sensitivity being higher with bm3.

Back in 2018, I found a 2015 435i M sport in mineral gray and coral red interior, with 21k miles for 29K from the dealer.

Yeah it was too good not to get it. It has the options I wanted, HK system, head up display, 8.8" screen, and comfort access.

And congrats to OP on the upgrade, the F32 is very well made.

Damn, that looks clean OP!! I highly reccomend the IND paint match reflectors next. Had this on my black m235 and it really cleans the front of the car up for a seamless look.
