Nah......go all the way the MTM map. Think not actually! Rumour is it might be on its way. Swapping cogs lol!! You really are used to the torque of the big D me thinks. 450NM from 1,600 revs right through to meet the bhp, you weren't driving it right. I overtook a dawdling woman today in 5th gear, just over 2k revs, foot down and there I was gone, that was shortly after the knob jockey in an A4 2.0 TDi TRIED to race me - wtf! This is childish but I've got the sports exhaust on mine and it gets even louder when you press the 'S' button, so when I overtook twanker in his A4 I made sure the 'flap' was open and the look on his face as I roared by him - said it was childish but made me laugh at the time. |

That looks lovely. I might get some of these wheels if my 225M's crack. Where did you get them from? Any links? With mine being white I don't think it would look as good as yours.

Sorry mate I meant I don't like aftermarket
blue or White. Standard yellow is far better and looks menacing.

The wheels look fantastic ! I would advice on one thing - I would change your exhaust tips for fatter ones. 3.5" that don't stick out as much (level with bumper) would look brilliant.

Hot Coupe, liking your car...can't imagine why lol
I'm not sure on the offset's, i will look and confirm as and when i get opportunity Vaheed1 - i'm going to get the black ones ala 635d and i might soon de-badge the rear end, but tbh, i like the "d" badge, when "faster" more exotic vehicles can't keep up they read the badging and become disgruntled haha |

personally i like the LED rear no plate lights, car looks great. i have same colour car as yours, i havnt done that much just black grils etc. I bought last week Carbon fibre BMW badges for bonnet and boot and put them on. IMO i think it looks better, also thinking of ordering M3 lip for bonnet, i recon that would look great on your car as you have the 335d with the large exhaust pipes.

The car looks awesome! On an 07 plate immaculate.
You called the black grills "performace grills" are these an option from BMW then. I have read peoples thread about painting theirs. Are they gloss?

Yes, you can buy them from BMW - look in the performance catalogue (see part dept) It looks ok for a car that i do circa 1000 per week in and use as a work van haha |
