Gaza's build No.2- 2016 PIC Updates
Maintenance thread here - http://www.e90post.com/forums/showth...1#post17046209" rel="" target="_blank">http://<a href="http://www.e90post.c...st17046209</a>
So today I px'd the 325i vert and bought a 335i coupe. Fancied a bit more power and in my 'man' logic the coupe made more sense now that we have a new born because there is more space in the boot! Truth of the matter is this car has the option to turn off the passenger side air bag so the car seat can easily go onto the front seat so perfect. Colour is sparkling graphite. Originally i was after lemans blue then whilst looking changed my mind to alpine white. Went back and forth between those 2 for a while then finally decided on space grey! Yeah totally random! lol. Anyway this sparkling graphite deal came up and was too good to pass up so I capitalised on it. Spec: 2007 SE black leather interior heated seats folding mirrors sat nav fbmwsh I was finding folding mirrors and heated seats sort of difficult to find so was happy when this popped up but it wasn't the deal sweetener for me. The sweetener was this: Birds B3 sport suspension Birds anti roll bar kit Qualife limited slip diff all fitted less than a year ago!! I've got LOADS of mods planned and all to be done in time for the shows this year so I'm going to be a busy boy especially as I plan on doing as much of it myself as possible. Ever since I decided to change the car back end of last year I've been buying mods and storing them in the loft...so watch this space as I post the updates. Had a little play on the way home. Absolutely loving the power! Anyway here are some pics of how she currently sits Current Status Performance mods Quaife lsd Jb4, BMS dual cone intakes, Ets front mount intercooler Ets charge pipe, VRSF 3" down pipes, Performance exhaust mod Suspension Airlift Performance Air ride Brakes Nitrac drilled discs Akebono ceramic brake pads Aesthetics Interior Extended fox red leather m3 interior Oem black head liner Retrimmed steering wheel with fox red stitching Alcantara handbrake and gear knob gaitors with fox red stitching M3paddles CIC retrofit incl combox with bmw apps BMW pedal upgrades Interior trim wrapped in nappa leather Audidon DRC controller integrated into dash Exterior Respray to BMW Individual San Marino Blue and Azurite Black LCI rear brake lights M3 style side skirts Custom angel eyes and quad demons Tinted windows 4" dual layer chrome exhaust tips Bmw performance diffuser dipped in carbon fibre Painted calipers Custom engine bay paint job Csl boot lid Custom made bonnet dome Rear arches flared 22mm and reformed 1M bumper Custom made front lip Badge deletes Wheels Winter wheels - Zito 935 in satin black with Vred wintrac tyres Summer wheels - Blitz Technospeed Z1s 9.5 et30 and 11.5 et43 (only set in BMW fitment in the uk afaik) Audio Jl 13w7 in custom built ported box Morel hybrid 402 components at the front Morel hybrid components at the rear Jenhert underseats Audison bit dmi Audison bit one 2 x hertz hdp4 amps JL 1200/v3 amp Full 12awg ofc wiring throughout Mods on their way Door buildsto house 4 Hertz MLK 6.5 midbass drivers Custom made rear diffuser Pure hybrid turbos Meth Last edited by gaza01; 12-28-2016 at 04:07 AM.. |

Wow ok this is a good change Qualife diff too, sounds like you bought a peach of a car with some nice expensive kit already on it.
I somehow think by show season this car won't be recognisable Never been in a 335i you will have to take me for a spin mate. |

Im just back from a late night spin. As the roads were quiet i thought id see what this diff is all about. At the lights pop it into sport and shift down to first (M1). Lights go green and I plant the right foot to the floor! Goes like a bat out of hell....cold damp roads and little to no wheel spin! |

YES Shaun!! Inspired choice....
Really looking forward to see what you do!! It will probably dent my own wallet as I get jealous! Interested about the option to turn off the passenger airbag, I guess it's an option? How do you do it? God impending parenthood has turned me into a bore, why am I asking about f@cking airbags!!!! |

Car looks fab, and already has the best mods you can do pre-installed
Given the whole Birds Kit would have cost you £3-4K to install you should considered that money 'saved'....Given that the pound is at a 3 year high against the dollar why not used the 'saved' money on some nice new turbos http://www.rbturbo.com/products/335i |

So after combing ebay i found the m3 interior that was looking for...in fact i found more than i was bargaining for! I got an extended leather interior so that included the dash board and centre console with leather trim!
The guy only had 3 pics of the interior but i wanted more as to me there is no point buying scuffed up seats. He wasn't prepared to unwrap the seats for picture purposes so i said id come collect them! Hired a van and drove up to leciester on saturday gone. We unwrapped every piece and apart from the odd mark here or there the interior was immaculate! Did the deal, wrapped them back up and headed home. Sunday morning i was straight on it stripping out the existing interior and putting in the m3 stuff! Took me about 5hrs. The longest most tedious job is the centre bracket for the rear seat. Unbolting it is a pain but putting it back is the ultimate pain! Took bloody ages to get the bolts in and tightened. Everything else was ok really. Only thing left to do is the dash and centre console but i'll let Makkan00 do that. We just need to arrange a date...when i get paid again as im broke! Lol Anyway here are some pics |
