Hey guys, I just joined the newsgroup after owning my BMW for a year. My first bimmer! I have caught the mod bugs and was wondering if there was a place in atlanta that would do a good job installing parts I.e. Hoods, diffuser, lip

Thanks guys!

DIY.

I and other forum members will provide help if you need it.

Thanks for the offer! I will definitely ask for your advice once I settle on the parts. I was interested in the vorsteiner v35 hood for the e92 but it seems to be discontinued.

Also, my 335i was purchased with the performance exhaust and power package. Do you know how much additional bhp is gained? Most of the websites I research indicate a 20hp gain.

Bet wishes

your best bet is a dyno^

also congrats on the purchase

Ok to actually ANSWER you questions:

1. I have caught the mod bugs and was wondering if there was a place in atlanta that would do a good job installing parts I.e. Hoods, diffuser, lip


I would suggest going to United BMW in Roswell...stop by parts department FIRST and talk to Dan or Cliff and tell them what parts you are thinking about putting on. They should be able to get you good prices on almost anything (OEM or otherwise) and have people there that can install said parts. The parts and service departments are filled with trackday junkies and true enthusiasts (for example Cliff has a race prepped E30 and E36 M3 and Dan takes his E46 M3 to trackdays).

2. Also, my 335i was purchased with the performance exhaust and power package. Do you know how much additional bhp is gained? Most of the websites I research indicate a 20hp gain


Indicate 20hp gain...but without a before power package and after power package dyno it is hard to tell exactly what you have gained. That being said like Slow_335i said take it to a dyno so then at least you know what you ACTUALLY have. I would suggest taking it to TOPSPEED in Alpharetta.
They are familiar with the N54 (they have/had? a shop 135i) and have their own tune and dyno (ask them to let you see their car's dyno chart, and mine as well "Marc's 135i" ). Ask for Cicio and he should be able to hook you up! Oh did I mention they won 1Lap of America this year?

Solo Motorsports is a great shop!

Thanks for all the suggestions guys! I'll probably be asking a lot more questions once I save up for some MODS. Are there any car clubs/meets in the Atlanta area?
