Default The New Ride

So finally got around to getting a few pictures of it.

Had a guy come out and do some detailing and got most of all the swirls out.

Did a few mods, but damm the car has power. Just did the tune and intake and got nearly 75 whp and nearly 100 pounds of tq

What model is that ? 335i ?

I like your wheels and the tails blacked out also, but you should paint that chrome ring around the windows....it's killing the look.

Other than that...nicely done sir.

When you gonna bring that biotch to an AutoX event ?

It's always fun to see what your Mods have done for your car....even better to experience them on the track !

ZKansasZ, dont get me wrong the the Z is an awesome car but I had a raodster and it was time to get something with more room, a little more practical but still had power.

A few bolt on's man and I am killing the e92 M3's, the e46's are a joke now. That is what really motivated me to get this car. A buddy has one who is raping M5's and M6's...All he has invested into the car is about 4k. Thats the best bang for the buck I tell you.

I mean of course we wont use the car for racing but it is always good to know that you have that power, and when people stare at you wondering WTH was that, its a good feeling.

Also the people that are so worried about the fuel pump failing, BMW has a 10 year / 120000 mile warranty on it so dont worry about that and fuel injectors. It just got overplayed not to long ago. I looked into all those things before I got the car

fithamoto, I am actually trying to get a spare set of wheels to come to an AutoX event and get a bigger intercooler before I do that. Dont wanna blow the engine.

Dude...that's awesome that you can take a M3 ....I read that they are heavier anyways....but if you got a tune and some bolt ons...sweet !

I really like the Bimmers....but I would be inclined to go for a M Coupe !

If & when you get some AutoX wheels then lets hook up for an event...I love to watch the Bimmers go !

Very nice good sir. I've always been a closet bimmer lover lol ever since I had my little e30 318i all those years ago lol. Dinan does some damn good work with those cars to and being stock turbo its really not that difficult to gain significantly more power as long as you have the supporting mods to go with that power.

Absolutely man we will def get together for an autoX event. I will keep you posted.

and yes ppat1989, Dinan does offer very sick stuff for the car but its $$$$ which is practically the same as the 3rd party stuff but with the 3rd party they give you control over the tune (my COBB Access Port lets me put it in valet mode, monitors the car, does my 0-60 times and plenty of other things)
