The Maxican's build thread!

Hi everyone! I'm sitting at home bored with nothing to do so I decided to make a build thread! With the help of my parents, I bought this TiAg 2007 328i near the end of 2010 (I was a Junior in high school). I bought it at a liquidator auction with 45k on the clock and the last owner bought an extended warranty right before it was liquidated. The car was completely stock and only had a few options on it, which were the black dakota leather with heated power/memory front seats. I always wanted to mod it but never did until I met another forum member, Mario K, through a mutual friend of ours. Seeing his car inspired me and gave me the motivation to work on my own car. Onto the mod list!

Exterior
-OEM performance front bumper
-Custom made front lip (i built it in my garage out of abs plastic)
-Sneed4Speed splitter support rods
-M-tech rear bumper
-Performance style rear diffuser
-Josh Avery rear bumper fins
-Josh Avery sideskirt splitters
-Low-kick csl trunk
-Redout tail lights (painted using VHT nightshade)
-Depo P90 V2 headlights (don't buy, they suck) w/ blackout and blue paint splatter done by AK Retrofits
-Matte black kidney grills

Wheels & Tires
-Varrstoen ES6, gunmetal face w/ polished lip
Front: 19x9.5 235/35/19 Nitto Invo
Rear: 19x11 255/30/19 Hankook Ventus V12 Evo 2

Interior
-M-sport steering wheel with paddle shifters
-ACS style ebrake
-Interior trim painted black w/ blue paint splatter

Suspension
-Ksport Kontrol Pro coilovers
-Ksport camber plates
-M3 front control arm upgrade

Performance
-BMS Powerbox
-Stock airbox converted to cone filter w/ dinan style intake mod
-Magnaflow universal muffler w/ burnt tips
-Secondary cat delete + resonator delete + qtp electric exhaust cutout

The next mod is air suspension and should be done within the next few weeks. I know my car might not be everyones taste but please enjoy the pictures, I'll try to update this thread every now and then! If you wanna see more photos, feel free to follow me on Instagram: @the_maxican697

Beautiful car man, it's gorgeous.

Could you make a video for take offs with your car and revs? I just want to hear what it sounds. (I watched the youtube video, it was well produced!)

Cool, I did that set up already. I recommend this, just put on the pipe first, no muffler. Ride with that on for a few days and see how you like it. If you don't, use your current muffler, why buy another muffler when it'll be the same noise. If you don't want too, then buy a magnaflow muffler.

Thanks! I can't really make you a video unfortunately, I am in the process of making a custom rear diffuser and the exhaust was in the way so I'm running open headers lol. I'll see if my friend who made the video has any extra clips.

Car looks great, my friend. Josh Avery does some damn fine work with his diffusers. Might finally be grabbing one this winter so I can get it mounted for the spring. Great work...keep it up!!!
