Sorry for not knowing, but what is a 335R? Love the front. Hoping you do the rear fenders to balance the rear end.

GmoBmw · 01-23-2012, 12:21 AM

Dude I love your car. I have the same color on my E90.

most non bmw owners can't even tell the difference between mtech and m3 front bumper anyway.

i am not talking about those who not understands where is m tech and where is m3 bumpers, but let it be if op is happy

335R · 01-23-2012, 10:48 AM

I may do the m3 rear, just not at the moment, JB4 has a feature that turns fuel gauge to the boost gauge, full is 20 psi, half is 10 psi, so I was boosting a bit over 3/4 of a tank, so about 16psi.

O HELLA BMW · 01-23-2012, 10:53 AM

So the whole front m3 conversion + paint and install cost $3000??

Where did you source all your m3 parts needed for the conversion ?

JoshM813 · 01-23-2012, 11:02 AM

We will run again but I'll still get you

Anyway car looked great though. I liked it!

Motastic · 01-23-2012, 11:08 AM

Hey just out of curiosity, i noticed that when you hit around 160, what happened to your gas needle, why did it jump so much?

But it doesnt list the PSI or Bar?

Procede also does that. Each minor tick mark is 1psi. 1/2 tank = 10psi.

joec500 · 01-23-2012, 12:48 PM

Looks great, my suggestion if you like the carbon Hood, I would do a Paint Fade, so it's mostly painted, but some fade to the carbon so it's more subtle, but again, that's my taste not yours

I prefer to have my car a little more undercover

Otherwise it looks great!

Doubt he'll feel that bad, knowing that he would probably smoke it...lol

Very nice mods, car looks great!!

Blaizon · 01-23-2012, 07:54 PM

Good job, the car looks good.

335R · 01-23-2012, 09:52 PM

Thanks guys, i am glad that all that work didn't go to waste, I love the car alot but then again I would have to sell it some day. Boost was acting up at 155, not sure why its where i let go of gas and started to slow down. I got a few PMs about the cost, I did most of the work myself, and i have friends that paint and work at the body shop so I payed for labor way below market costs. Most parts were ordered from Reeves BMW in Tampa, their parts department is a pleasure to work with. And if you are registered with them as a dealer, you get 20% of retail cost. Here is a little break down:

Labor of installing and aligning was done by me so--- Free(most places would charge at least a $1000)
Paint the parts and blend the doors --- $1000(most places wont touch it for less than $1500)
Hood- $550, stock one is $600
Both front fenders $600
Front bumper $500
Clips, mounts, brackets, fender lights and misc parts $400
Radiator support $300
Side skirts $150
Rear bumper is Mtech so $400
Washer bottle $150, you need it, m3 fenders will not fit with the stock one
add another $500 for little stuff that I forgot to mention like
Plus CF parts(optional)
Dukes Dynamics diffuser $300
Front Splitters $200
Kidneys $150

Total is $5200, plus the dealer visit to get a new battery and reset the lights and clear the codes $300, so roughly $5500.\

On top of that:
VMR Wheels $1100
Michelin Pilot Sport tires $1000
H&R Sport Springs $50
JB4-$350
Cone intakes -$20
IC and mounting hardware - $350
DPs $200
Cutting the 2nd kittys out $50

Spending $15 on 5 gallons of E85, mixing 40/60 with 93 and running custom beta map from Terry... priceless
