My New 335i

[Zoki]

So I've ended up selling my MPS and upgrading to a 335i. Took me a while to hunt down a Grey one with low mileage. Worth it in the end. Let the mods begin!!

I don't think the pictures are big enough, tbh

eta: Reloaded the page after posting and they went back to normal size. Odd.

Looks very nice.

What mods do you have planned?

[Josh84]

Beautiful. These are superbly quick cars. I prefer the 335 to the 435 in terms of visual aesthetics.

[aspirated]

The first thing that struck me is how much more classier it looks with the standard chrome grill rather than the usual gangster init black one

[AndyCardiff]

Please, please, please don't ruin it with black wheels and black grille surrounds. It looks fantastic as it is

This . . . black wheels should carry a mandatory jail sentence.

Nice car

Is it an auto or manual? I loved mine. I had a JB3 box on it and it was seriously quick.

[pimpchez]

Since this is a GT car how much better is it than the mps ,also was your mps modded .

[Fartgalen]

Just give it a good wash and a paint correction.

Hell no, black wheels look awesome. However, it's been done to death and it would be nice to see a Beemer keep its chrome trim and be modified at the same time!

You are so on my wavelength!!

Lovely car OP enjoy it.

Looks very nice, well done. If you want to play it safe invest in a BMW warranty. See my recent thread in the BMW section for why.

Can you make the pictures a bit bigger please?

[GuyWMD]

Pictures scaled fine this end!

Nice purchase, good colour (Not bias in any way...)
Personally I much prefer loosing the chrome grill, and have done so with the BMW Performance black kidney grills on my E91. But I appreciate it's a love/hate thing.

It is an Auto I must be getting old. But my excuse is living in London.

After the MPS this feels a lot more laid back and a nice place to sit. Doesn't feel awfully quicker than the MPS mind. My MPS only had SRI+TIP and alloys.

Black grills are going to be my first mod For me the chrome is out of place considering all the other trim is black (on windows and mirrors). But I appreciate everyone has their own opinion on looks. Other mods I have planned so far:
CSL Boot, Duke Dynamics Rear Diffuser, Eisenmann Quad Exhausts, Set of wheels not sure which yet (Maybe Velgen or VMR) + Performance Mods

To be honest I planned to mod my MPS and didn't do anything in the end lol

I agree this is my favourite colour too, Tim I didn't buy from a BMW dealer, so I'm pretty sure I can't get warranty from them.

I specifically wanted an auto too, loved mine. But only after I had carried out the paddle mod, disabling the weird thumb change and making left pull change down and right pull change up. Best thing I did to the car and it was free!

I bought mine from a Porsche dealer. The T&C say you have to use BMW genuine parts when servicing the car. They used to state you had to get the car serviced by BMW but no longer do. Your car may never need anything other than routine servicing but for the small additional monthly cost it's been worth it for me.
