Sounds great sure you will love it, bet you cant wait. I see its has a mega spec so you will have plenty of toys to play with for a while.

Pic of these?

SiBurt · 05-26-2007, 10:19 AM

Not the best shots in the world as the car was at Pentagon and unprepped (I hope), but you get the idea...

Congrat! Nice!

I see your car was in Pentagon I assume for window tints, what did you opt for and are you happy with results.....

SiBurt · 05-26-2007, 11:51 AM

Cheers squeezewbm.

baddabing, the car's coming with the factory tints and I've had clear Supaglass applied.

The Diesel comes with dual exhaust?

Yes, the 335d does, just as the 335i

silverbmwz3 · 05-27-2007, 09:31 AM

Similar car to mine (colour combo, most of the spec) although you have a bit more spec. It is an awesome car. Loving those wheels - haven't seen one with those on.

Would love to see good quality pics of the final car when all done.

How come you have pics but car not ready til next week - ex-demo?

Did you do a deal with the dealer to swap the m sport wheels for those ? Would be interested to know how much the wheels and tyres are as I think the standard 335d/i m sport wheels look a little small for the arches for my liking.

Oli · 05-27-2007, 10:20 AM

The wheels are off an E92/3

peterg1965 · 05-27-2007, 10:24 AM

The 19" M Sport wheels look awesome, looks like I have to revisit the options list!

Pete, you mean you have not ordered the 19"s

I'm picking it up on Thursday, so I'll post some better pictures then.

It's a brand new car and I asked the dealer to organise dropping it up to Pentagon for clear Supaglass. It was still there when I went up to pay (which was nice), so I took a couple of shots on my phone.

I had the same feelings about 18's on the E90 too, but I didn't want to go aftermarket with the wheels. As I'm a regular customer they sorted me out a deal for the 19's which I think look superb on the saloon!

Supaglass ?

Um newbie question ?

SJ

*edited for clarity, what is Supaglass then when it's at home... ?

Check out the Pentagonglasstech website for all the info on Supaglass

Serjames · 05-30-2007, 09:20 AM

I see, so do pentagon still allow you to tint the driver and passenger side windows or do they refuse ?

SJ

Oli · 05-30-2007, 09:26 AM

Its not tinted in front of the B pillar - just a clear film

baddabing · 05-30-2007, 09:31 AM

There is a section on their website that gives all the legal stuff on what can or cannot be tinted. Here in Ireland there is a slightly different rule on tinting whereby you can tint driver and passanger windows providing it is not going to effect drivers vision. My last car the X5 had tint on driver and passanger windows and was a bit on the dark side. Still considering going for a tint on the 335 (Pentagon Smoke ) .
