My second love... (E90)

sphen · 03-30-2013, 10:33 AM

Updated a few things below!

Hey guys..

new to BMW and new to the forums. Finally got around to switching my car over to summer mode - did a quick wash and took some pics. really do love the car -- trying to keep it classy but aggressive - fine line...

trying not to break the bank at this point - but any suggestions? been thinking about dipping the left/right front grille so its black and doing the kidney grille too -- but the fact that i still have chrome window trim and the bright silver wheels - the contrast i think is kinda nice.

2011 335d to date:
tint: 30% front windows, 20% all other
Full BMW Performance suspension
19" Alufelgen SF-71
Conti DW - 235/35/19 - 265/30/19
No holes front license plate mount (stupid CT)
JBSPEED painted front splitters
JBSPEED painted M3 spolier
Painted front reflectors
BMW Apps FSC
OSS v4 Two-tone (gunmetal/black)
Black kidney grille and lower grilles
shadowline gloss black vinyl trim
...and tons of random coding options...

To be done:
JBD tuner
Thule Roof Rack (have just not on yet)
spacers/stud conversion

Hopefully you guys like!

pics (not the best day/overcast):

quick pics from the latest update with OSS (wifes car in the way for wide shots...):

Looks like you could use some spacers. The rears look sunk in but the car looks great!

douwe22 · 03-30-2013, 10:44 AM

welcome, almost bougth a 335d as well, but went for a 2008 335xi instead, test drove a 335d and that torque is awesome

napeHbNYC · 03-30-2013, 11:14 AM

Looks clean and classy!

Miss the black...

What he said. M front and rear conversion is must.
Some spacers at the rear and you car is

minivan · 03-30-2013, 11:32 AM

Classy!

YGazis109 · 03-30-2013, 11:59 AM

I live in CT and don't have the front license plate...never get pulled over...I know we need it but I think it's not enough to justify them pulling you over...could be wrong
Love your car too by the way!!!

dlbrooks18 · 03-30-2013, 11:59 AM

Very nice! Some spacers and lower the car and your set for now.

would you believe ive been pulled over twice now for not having the front license plate? i said screw it after that -- dont want a "reason" to be pulled over... my old car for 8 years i had a euro plate on front and never was stopped...

spacers are a good idea -- i think i would juts need some small ones -- might go mtech if i get into some $$

e90Nate · 03-30-2013, 01:22 PM

looks great super classy look

project335i · 03-30-2013, 02:03 PM

Looks clean I would drop it and spacers all around.

Alen E90 · 03-30-2013, 02:22 PM

welcome and congrats on your new beauty, nice job with the mods and +1 on the drop/spacers

thanks for sharing!

Gorgeous car, definitely need spacers in the rear though. I see you have the north haven BMW decal on your car haha

Damn man...probably got unlucky with a grumpy trooper...I would have done the same thing tho...thank god I haven't got pulled over yet...watch tomorrow I will haha

CongBroChill17 · 03-30-2013, 04:59 PM

Looks great, pretty much the direction I want to take mine in. Great frame of reference for me, thank you.

chris b. · 03-30-2013, 08:55 PM

Paint lower front grilles black, spacers in rear, remove north haven emblem.
Trim and grilles also black.

hybrid_e90 · 03-30-2013, 09:06 PM

I actually dig the way the car is right now, except for the addition of spacers. It really has a nice flow and OE look. Reminds me of a car you'd see in The Transporter.

Amini77 · 03-31-2013, 02:19 PM

Love it! It's sitting perfectly
