Click the link in my sig to find out!

I have V3. They are good enough for me. I have had them for four years now. The fact that I ~can~ adjust the 'bump' is an advantage over V1 as my rear end just started to rub on big bumps (255/35/19 - 230 style wheel 9" wide et39 with 10mm spacer means et29 ) so I think I have to adjust the bump a little stiffer. It hasn't ever done that before. They are easily adjustable, especially the 'rebound'. As you have probably read, they are a vast improvement over stock. With camber plates you can stuff a 265 tire in front too, I think I can even go to 275, I ~hate~ rubbing so I am generally pretty conservative.

IN54NITY · 10-14-2014, 12:45 PM

Speaking of rubbing I was on I-25 the other day and noticed a VW GTI with gigantic wheels and there must have been less than a finger of space between tire and fenders. I could hear him rub ~with my windows down~ with every little bump on I-25. He literally had about 3mm of suspension travel as his tires were easily outside the fenders. SMH.

TEAM SLO · 10-14-2014, 12:52 PM

Nice, I had an EVO X lowered on Eibachs, 19x9.5 Volk SF Challenge +13 ET.... slight fender roll was needed, and modifications/reshaping of fender liner to not rub at all. But before that, when it did rub, sounded like garbage.

raceyBMW · 10-14-2014, 03:26 PM

I hear ya, rubbin' sucks! Had to get my rear rolled a little to make my 285's fit.

raceyBMW · 10-20-2014, 01:16 AM

Finished my M-sport bumper and got a decent pic finally!

TEAM SLO · 10-22-2014, 07:52 PM

Do you know Chris who owns a sparkling graphite 335i? Can't miss the car, he has a ~BIG~ DSC off sticker on his back window. I know he lives in Durango. (PM me for his last name) He has been attending the last several spring BMWCCA HPDEs at HPR. I had him as a student one year and a friend of his from Oregon last year. I don't think he is on e90post though.

I actually haven't seen it, but I'll keep an eye out for the sticker! It's a small enough town that I should see it eventually.

UsedF10M5 · 12-24-2014, 12:04 AM

Has anyone had a water pump failure on their 335 yet? Mine just died, yup Merry Christmas to me.

I see people paying anywhere from $850-$1500 at the dealer wondering what you guys paid and if it's worth just spending Christmas swallowing coolant under the car...

Happy Holidays Fellas!

UsedF10M5 · 01-01-2015, 02:26 PM

Just an update, Murray quoted me $1680ish out the door, but couldn't get me in for like a week and if I needed a loaner it was longer.

So, Got the parts for a little under $700 from Murray, 4 hours and 3 beers later she was good to go. You can get the parts for around $500 shipped from many online vendors but I was in a hurry.

Cheers.

Nope, things pretty much die off in the winter around here, unless we decide to go bowling and do donuts in the parking lot afterwards

nomile · 01-14-2015, 11:18 PM

Is anyone going to the HPR Customer Appreciation Day this Sunday? I'm thinking of taking out the ti for a few laps.
