Just got my 335is

mblaucoupe135 · 08-20-2012, 09:51 AM

Just picked up my new 335is a few weeks ago and wanted to post some pics of it and ask a few questions. So far I'm loving the car, as it is so smooth, powerful, and fun to drive.

Of course, I can't leave it alone and need to add some mods.

I have already installed an AFE dual cone intake and 10 mm spacers to make it look a tad bit more aggressive in the rear. I plan to also get rid of the orange reflectors.

I'm also interested in getting a carbon fiber rear diffuser for it. Does anyone have any recommendations on a nice one that fits well and is reasonable priced?

Secondly, the brakes are kind of boring looking and since I plan to do some track days with the car, does anyone have any recommendations on a brake upgrade kit that won't break the bank and will also look better and provide increased stopping power?

I think that's all the mods I have planned for now, but I'm sure I will come up with some more the longer I have the car.

Congrats on your new car! Love the color!

Got the same one a month ago

mine is metallic white with black interior. Great car! I'll post pics soon.

I did change the orange reflectors, put smoked ones, looks so much better! Also put smoked side markers. Next is M black wheels and a spoiler, not the carbon fiber but one that matches the black mirrors.

Thanks all for the congrats and kind words.

I can't wait to see pics of your car once you make all the changes.

Really nice car!

vstM3 · 08-20-2012, 05:50 PM

What do others 335is owners think about putting on 19' M black wheels? Or powder coating the stock?

mblaucoupe135 · 08-20-2012, 06:22 PM

Thanks all, but can anyone help me out with the questions I asked in my original post about the diffuser and brake upgrade?

My335iTT · 08-20-2012, 07:35 PM

Im jelly! Wish I would have waited for a car with that interior color, LOVE IT!!!

I forgot to add I also have dct (which is incredible), the 19" 313 style wheels (which look amazing by the way), comfort access, pdc, Harman Kardon stereo, and satellite radio. Also, I just got the windows tinted, so it looks even better now!
