She is finally all done...335R

335R · 01-20-2012, 07:22 PM

I have been a member on here for a few years, ever since the 335i came out, i knew that one day I will get one. I did extensive research on parts and knew exactly how I wanted the car to look. After 4 month of hard work, hours and hours of aligning, installing and removing and reinstalling again, all the body parts were on. Since N54 being one of the most amazing motors ever built, I could not leave it stock and added some bolt ons. CX racing intercooler with custom piping, JB4, Raceland DP, BSM Cone intakes, and secondary cats delete. I have to say that the wait was worth it. The car is truly amazing piece of engineering and with addition of tuners like Terry at Burger Motorsports(no affiliation) made this car even more amazing. I am going to install Meth kit shortly and get some dynos. The car was in a small front end accident and I used the opportunity to do M3 conversion. For those who are wondering, no I do not have ///M badges on it. Questions and comments are welcome, haters don't even post. Here are some photos and videos.

More pictures are coming...

Ive never been a big fan of carbon fiber hood/trunks.
With that said, the car looks great and i'm sure it runs very strong. It goes to show: You don't have to have to pay the BMW tax for parts to end up with a sweet ride.

cn555ic · 01-20-2012, 07:53 PM

Came out nice but the CF hood looks out of place since there is no other CF besides the lip. Other than that it looks tight

rader1 · 01-20-2012, 07:58 PM

^thats the reason i dont like CF mods. Unless the car itself is naked CF(IE actuall supercar) then it sticks out like a sore thumb

a7med606 · 01-20-2012, 08:14 PM

good job bro
i like your car
i have one question and two suggestion's

the question is
the m3 fenders are wider than the 335i fenders
did make it wider in front fenders and leave the back fenders as it is or these are m3 style for 335i fitment ??

and the suggestion is that since you have a carbon fibre hood and grilles
you have to get a carbon fibre rear spoiler and the turn signal light in the front fenders
just like that one in the link here

Thank you matrix

E90Mack · 01-20-2012, 09:16 PM

Is it possible to do a CF trunk, to balance this out?

nitehawk · 01-20-2012, 09:22 PM

Great work OP. You're getting the best bang for your buck with those mods

Have you changed the suspension? ie coils?

jlcolon2001 · 01-20-2012, 09:48 PM

Wow, car looks greats

I can't wait to see more pics.

JamesM3M5 · 01-20-2012, 10:43 PM

Looks good, like the wheels and carbon. No offense, but when you say 335R, I was expecting a racecar, not a convertible.

TMR · 01-20-2012, 10:50 PM

I was hoping for a 35R in a 335i.

335R · 01-20-2012, 11:59 PM

haha, forgot to mention that I did install H&R sport springs. I may add the CF trunk lid later. I want more power now. Ran against pulled e55 tonight, he got me by 2 cars at 120. Not a bad start.

FBO+meth 335 will have trouble with a lightly modded e55. One of my really good friends had a heavy modded e55 and ran 11.1 at 125+mph. You need upgraded turbos and/or nitrous to come close to that.

lpphreakx06 · 01-21-2012, 12:27 AM

Rear looks good, front is meh

deadmn1337 · 01-21-2012, 12:41 AM

if you are doing the carbon fiber thong I would suggest putting a cf wrap on the window trim to get rid of the one piece of chrome that is left

Looks sweet man!

I am also going for CF interior and mirrors.

Zebra99 · 01-21-2012, 08:44 AM

Sweet ride dude. Also with the CF, always nice that's it's real and not a wrap. You're getting weight reduction out of it too which is great

Don't forget the M3 rear

Nice job, more pics!

Eric335 · 01-21-2012, 09:14 AM

Nice 335r!

Ill be looking for you out on the highway

(Naples, here)

V-Viper · 01-21-2012, 09:38 AM

These cars are never done once you catch the bug. Thankfully an aftermarket warranty I don't want voided is keeping my bug and wallet in check!

335R · 01-21-2012, 09:59 AM

I agree, its hard to stop modding, this is my first BMW, i had Subaru, boosted S2000, boosted is300, but this is a very nice DD that has balls when needed.

max · 01-21-2012, 11:26 AM

If you mentioned it I must have missed it - from the photos of the interior (button in front of console) and the exterior your car is a convertible, the E93, like mine. True?
