Knobi | Mod Diary
Updated 09/09/14:
(All Mods now on Page 1) I never really got to post much in here even though I've been in the forum for a couple years now, I figured it'll be nice to share my new project since I've been inspired by several members of this forum and their awesome cars. So this is how it all started  ... Became a Bimmer lover in 2005 with THIS Got an E90 330i and I thought I had the fastest car in town coming from an E36 323is ...soon I realized I was wrong. Anyways here's the car  July 2013: Finally picked up a 2011 Jet Black E90 335i   First set of Mods (and what I thought were going to be my ONLY mods)
    OEM vs. LUX V4 (set @ 7800K)  August 2013: Swapped the 287's for 193's Powder coated in Anthracite and threw in BMS spacers for a better look    I was pleased with the OEM look and thought I was done  Then came the "Minor Cosmetics" we all fall for 
      Wax and the 1st Photo Shoot      September 2013: My body was not reacting well to stock performance so I got a couple more things  :
   That was it, no more performance mods, I DID NOT want to mess with the warranty, so i did more cosmetics:
Before (Walnut Wood Trim):  After (Brushed Steel):    Before (OEM Bulbs):  After (HPB LED Kit):        December 2013: The PPK and PE excitement faded away earlier than the expected 3 years  After asking some members for feedback and 3 months later I realized I was lying to myself the entire time so... I got more performance parts
     February 2014  ...wait a minute FEDEX Delivery?   What the....?  ...and I'm finally FBO
 March 2014
 It was a PITA to get the bumper inside the car  A+ Service from John & his Crew at EUROWERKS in Pompano Beach, FL  M-Sport Bumper and FMIC installed  and my latest "MOD"    June 2014
September 2014
       Next: Suspension and Brakes before Turbo Upgrade

Looks great! Black out those front fins on the bumper ASAP and it will look even better.
