blackwagon08's Intro & Build Thread

blackwagon08 · 12-20-2017, 03:05 AM

Hello forum people.

Thought i'd start a build thread, but first a little about me, the car, and the plans for it.

My name is Anthony, and i am from Newcastle.

I managed to purchase a 2008 E91 335i M sport. Some of you may be familiar with the car, previously owned by donR. I was not looking for this type of car originally, but i am happy with it, and will give me something to tinker with.

Plans for the car include bumping the power level up, and OEM+ type of mods inside and out. This car is not a daily driver, and just a weekend vehicle. Hope to do most of the work myself or pay mates with beer, and catch up with some 335i owners near by.

Cheers, Ant.

Awesome looking ride Anthony. Thanks for sharing it with us.

I can't wait to see what you have in mind as far as mods go.

e36mmm · 12-21-2017, 01:06 PM

Welcome mate. Looks clean and I am sure you'll enjoy it.

Hoper · 12-21-2017, 02:06 PM

Nice car and welcome to the forum, always lots of help available here, really nice bunch of guys

Enjoy the car, looking forward to watching the mods

blackwagon08 · 12-23-2017, 04:15 AM

So first mod was some new wheels. Genuine BMW 313 19's. Not everyones cup of tea, but i have always liked them. When a set popped up for sale, with no buckles, scratches or rash, i snapped them up especially with new rubber on them too.

Met up with a few BMW owners from Newcastle today, and what a top bunch of blokes. Good opportunity to meet fellow enthusiasts. A big thankyou to Shane (DR-JEKL) for inviting me along.

EB89 · 12-23-2017, 04:42 AM

Love the wheels, I have them too.

Who doesn’t like them lol?

Good first mod. Get some spacers on to push them out and sit more flush

Trev88 · 12-23-2017, 05:14 AM

Awesome wheels!

DR-JEKL · 12-26-2017, 04:20 PM

Kinda made me miss my 313's

blackwagon08 · 01-31-2018, 10:25 PM

Well ive been pretty busy, and haven't driven the car for about a month. So I'll keep collecting parts. Thanks to R32GOJIRA, i have myself an M3 steering wheel.

R32GOJIRA · 01-31-2018, 10:44 PM

Hey Hey!!!
Glad it turned up safe and sound mate

Socket · 02-02-2018, 01:30 AM

Nice progress

I have done a DIY on the forum on installing the steering wheel if you need instructions

Thanks mate. I’ll have a look for your DIY before I do the install, so I get a bit of an idea of what tools I need.

Regards, Anthony.

Hi Anthony, good to see you're enjoying the car and looks much better with the new wheels. Was always a favorite of mine.

Look forward to seeing the future updates!
