Having looked at M Sports on the 335 range it still looks somewhat tame in styling compared to the E92 M3 (which I like ) So I was thinking what costs involved in giving say a 3 series coupe the look of a E92 M3? i.e full body styling wheels etc
Have seen many 525's with the full M5 styling pack on and they look great.

I cant afford the E92 M3 yet and but I do like the styling. So was thinking a 335i with a Versu stage 2 - giving it 420BHP and the Full M kit would not be a bad option

Opinions please...

My mistake its Vishnu not versu.
Stage 1 getting it to 410BHP is about £1250
So stage 2 getting it near to 430 BHP cant be to much more

I had no idea about the styling so thats why I was asking. Like the reply above says if it requires to much spending its not worth it.

My thinking was pick up a 335 se for say 26- 27k spend £1600or so on tuning and 3-4k on styling and for 32k or so u have a pretty decent car both in performace and looks.

Its only a idea

looks great pal...

So can you fit the new M3 wheels on the 335?

Fantastic colour combo by the way, have you got it re-mapped?
I do also really like the 4 exhaust look at the back of the car, I imagine that would be something quite simple for someone to do?

Why go for the SE,the M Sport comes as standard with the Black gloss shadowline as per the pic of the AW car,+ it comes with the bodykit as standard.The wheels shown in the pic are the 19" 225 upgrade wheels.
Stick on a M3 lip spoiler as well + the vishnu, and yes you will have a stonking motor in every dept

why can't people just buy what they can afford and be happy with it, i really don't see the point on spending 26-28k on a car that you're not happy with and then spend another 4or5 to get it close to what you think you want when in reality it'll be nothing like what you're trying to achieve in the 1st place, just my opinion of course, I have been known to be wrong!

Well I think your wrong lol

Y is it wrong to want to make your car look better, look sportier if thats what you want?

So long as you dont ruin it and make Max Power like I dont see what the problem is

Not wrong, I just don't see the point, the 3 series is not a sports car, not even the M3, so why try and change what it is to try and make it something it is not
