End of a wee era - 335d is going, M4 is coming!

too hot · 07-25-2018, 05:14 PM

Here’s a link with the prices. I had the diffuser on the car for a few weeks but it’s still as new and unmarked. £450 considerably cheaper than Cotswold who I bought the parts from.

If Terry isn't interested in the rear diffuser, I'll take it please.

Excellent I will let you know

Tengocity · 07-26-2018, 03:08 AM

On you go Tony, I'm going to wait to get my car, and enjoy it for a bit. Not planning to modify it really, so starting before I even get it is a bad start!

I'd rather put the money at this stage towards Xpel and Ceramic sealants.

mkizzo · 07-26-2018, 03:45 AM

What a move. Congrats.
Currently on a 335d and interested to hear what you'd be looking for the ACS suspension if you break the car. PM sent

Can Lorcan confirm if it'll work on saloon? And recommended fitting time?

It'll work but the rear springs will need to be changed for the saloon ones, which Terry might have because this kit came off Guy's F30! Fitting time is around 5 hours including wheel alignment.

Here's a video from my dealer to tempt you on carbon bits though the diffuser doesn't show well (ignore the talking as he was just confirming some things for me):

https://video.citnow.com/vtf8-DBk1k9

Mine is still at the dealers waiting for them to fit the side foils & MPE as the MPE was on back order & didn't make the date I was intending to collect it (supposed to be in today) - so I did the handover on Tuesday and am waiting on them shipping the car to the South West when it is all done - probably next week but who knows...

MPE... CF... got to be done surely? Do what I did and bake it into the deal on 0%... Does wonders for the man-maths...

Tengocity · 07-26-2018, 06:49 AM

The sale of the 335d has been agreed now, with the suspension staying on the car, but the brakes will be coming off. I'm exploring whether they'll be able to go on the M4 before putting them up for sale.

I'll take the strut brace off too, and put that up for sale in due course.

I'll see how the car looks and may be tempted by a diffuser and the CF one will go with the roof I guess, and perhaps one of the boot spoilers too.

The intention is for this to be a daily driver and we've got hefty speed bumps round my way so I'm reluctant to put on a splitter. The Boxster is a big enough pain in the ass. Similarly, the exhaust on the Boxster is very nice and gives me my aural thrills so happy with the standard M4 one. I think.

Lorcan · 07-26-2018, 07:40 AM

The comp pack exhaust sounds much better than the original M4 exhaust to be fair. The original one was quite farty. No other word for it!

Pick up for the new car now confirmed for tomorrow Saturday morning 10.30am, which means today now officially feels like Christmas Eve, especially now that I'm on holiday till 6th August!

Only downside is that showers forecast for tomorrow, sods law that the only rain for weeks happens tomorrow.

I'll have a day to enjoy and then it's going to the detailers on Sunday evening, where it will get some XPEL fitted and then GTechniq Crystal Serum Ultra next week.

To entertain/distract me whilst that's been done, I'm taking the Boxster on a road trip up the West coast and around the North of Scotland.

Life is frickin awesome right now! (touching wood so as not to tempt fate and jinx myself)

It's not how it drives in the wet that will bother me, just that it will be a mess immediately!

As for sleep... I'm sure you've got something class A in mind to help!

Rukka · 07-27-2018, 08:52 AM

Good times

Good luck for tomorrow. Don't forget the obligatory pictures!

Goodness no. That will only keep me awake even more!

It's bloody coming up to 6am. I don't know how I'm even going to be in any fit state to drive come the time.

You are so lucky you have less than 5 hours to go.

I thought you were getting it detailed?
Let someone else worry about cleaning up the mess. You just enjoy collection day!

MashinBenzin · 07-28-2018, 12:29 AM

Enjoy the day and that wonderful first drive Terry!

Looking forward to the pics.

Class B perhaps then!

Yes, getting dropped off at the detailers in Sunday, so I've got a day with it. Still, would rather it wasn't covered in crap so quick!

Thanks!

How's your decision making process coming along?

I just couldn't bring myself to buy a SUV before I'd had scratched the M car itch. I. An still easily imagine the next car being a new Cayenne, once there's a few used ones on the market.

robwils · 07-28-2018, 02:11 AM

Enjoy the day, great decision.
And thanks for info .
Get some pics up later.
