Pre LCI is through the wheel well if I remember correctly Phong. Not as easy as our E92s. But doable, easier with a jack if you can remove wheel.

Yes. Through the wheel well. I did it with a buddy without jacks. It wasn't that hard. Just lots of screws for all the panels in the wheel well and parts of the front bumper. Lots and lots of screws. It was a fun first DIY for me.

No, you just have to take all the screws off for the wheel well cover and pull it. The steps are like getting to fog lights on an E92, easier with the wheel off but doable with the wheels on.

I don't mind helping you, but I live in San Jose. You'll waste more money on gas with me doing it for you. It might be best just to have any shop install them for you.

Anyone know a website to buy OEM Parts that doesn't charge a ridiculous amount for shipping?

I'm trying to buy these parts which my local dealer quoted me $160 for it all.

Windshield Reveal Molding
51317119711

Rear Seat Cover Isofix
52206970744

M3 Front Control Arm Bushings
31102283579

I'm replacing my worn out bushings for M3 bushings, I hope it's just plug and play.

I just bought a 335d for my daily driver and I wanted to drop in and say hi. I'm originally from San Francisco, but I currently reside in Fremont, CA to be closer to work. I also own a Evo IX that I drive on weekends.

I can't wait to start learning more about the e90.

Welcome! the 335d has a lot of torque potential with a few basic mods. You'll love it
