Part of me wants to make a sleeper.

I think it would be fun to have a sleeper that could walk all over those guys.

A FBO 335i can already destroy a stock or lightly modified STI/EVO, now a upgraded turbo will destroy a GT-R check out Pure Turbo in Oceanside.

For $2000-2500 you can do 500hp/tq crank

these cars have insane potential, guys are dynoing 860+ hp (so 1000+ crank) with a completely stock motor, just turbo swaps/tuning/fuel/etc

So what you are telling me is the 335 is the ultimate sleeper than? Damn, even more appealing.

I haven't been on these forums for a while. I had a 2009 328i, then a 2007 335i, which I both sold in 2011.

I just picked up another bmw. A used 328i. So I'm back!

This probably gets asked a lot but are there any local people who can do coding in socal?

Might be in need of a shop to paint and fit a new bumper for me. Any LA/OC/IE recommendations?

Son Tran. Onsite Wheels. Amazing work and great prices.

Hello Guys ! Does anyone know someone who had RED BMW 335is in california? ( it has front collision )
I bought this car and have a few question to owner.

Paulito · 12-25-2015, 11:39 AM

Hey Guys, Happy Holidays!

Anyone local to Santa Monica or Long Beach can program my battery. Currently in NY and anticipating a dead battery when i get back.

Kimber K · 01-15-2016, 07:10 PM

hey this one is for the Orange County owners.
Place that I can drive to in OC and pick up a headlight bulb for my daughters E92. Like to grab it tomorrow if possible?

Cheaper the better, the dealer wants $275

Need the Philips Xenon type bulb

Call DDM Tuning and see what they have in stock. You may want to get both if they're cheap, it's unlikely a new bulb will color match a well worn one

+1, even for incandescent bulbs it's always recommended to replace in pairs.

Might want to think about that. DDM has terrible ratings from what I read due to their product and poor/lack of customer service.

puppydax · 02-14-2016, 02:38 AM

What shop would you guys recommend for clutch service? Looking to get my clutch done soon, but not sure if I trust many shops in NorCal versus SoCal. Lol.

They're fine in person, they get overloaded online and don't always get back to people as fast as they want. Stopping by the shop makes any potential warranty issue a breeze.
