Hi! So ive just "officially" joined the forum, been a reader for quite a while up until i just bought my 335i

Im 20, from the north east and my car is an 07 335i in sparkling graphite, black leather interior, sat nav, 38k miles. great package, i love it! i bought it from a company called "trevor jones car company" i feel the need to mention this guy as hes been mentioned before on these forums, gotta say ive NEVER felt more comfortable and confident with a salesman in my life. i seen the car when i was offshore and when i contacted him he didnt even insist on a deposit until i got home, but promised the car to me. that treatment continued right up until i bought the car, and even afterwards his aftercare has been tremendous, replying to emails and phone calls at late hours (mind you, not car problem related emails, the car is SOLID) but genuinely a nice informative honest guy. Would defo reccomend him. and a bonus is he only deals in performance BMW's! Check him out

But anyway since buying it ive done a couple of things, first the 19" mv4"s have been powder coated anthracite. (Forgot to add, trevor had that done for me too)

i then took off that ugly chrome grill, sanded, primered, and painted the sorrounds sparkling graphite with black inserts. Looks sweet!

new white angel eyes are getting delivered tomorow. along with black & grey BMW wheel caps.

sprayed front calipers red, backs getting done before i go back offshore next week.

Cheers

James

Oh no you wont its a drug. as virgin say..... more power! Looks clean jb4 or cobb with e-tune from someone like ptf in my opinion but also dp's at very least

[crypticc]

You can count on adding your 1.2 litres worth of car again easily with just a very light tune.

Look into Cobb as well as another option

Congrats on your car, just don't go mad in the 335.

It's a very powerful car even stock. I know if I had access to something like a 335 at the age of 20 there is a 100% chance I would have crashed it....after all I managed to write off a 50bhp Peugeot 106 at that age

thanks! and haha advice taken, i think im the only one of my friends not to have a bump in the last few years, dont want to ruin that record, especially with this car!

Looks awesome! Good to have another young owner, I'm also 20 but only managed a 325D...Still a 6 cylinder though, right?! I know exactly how you feel about wanting more, I've got used to mine already after coming from a 118D and I'm on the hunt for a decent remap. Also going to get the EGR/Manifold cleaned out and maybe a terraclean to try and recapture all the escaped horses - don't think this is an issue on the petrols though?

Enjoy it, and don't go and bend it - she's a stunner

[Jase 320d]

At 20 with a 335i i would have been officially dead by now



Nice car

[Jdouglas10]

Cheers fellas

325d is still a lotta car! a few people have mentioned terraclean to me but i dont know much about it, or the pros/cons on a petrol engine. to be honest im not very mechanically minded at all :
