Build Thread - E92 335D
My official thread which I've edited and resized pics for more ease of view.
The pics below are the day I picked her up, July 2012. You'll see from this thread her transformation. My end result will hopefully be a very fine, aggressive(ish) looking E92 335D which will have take shape before Summer this year with most of the bits already sourced. As the weather now starts to clear up, I will be getting the items installed. Audio has been ongoing (see here: http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=762170) since September 2012, slowly building up my list of items to be installed. I can finally say I'll be picking her up this weekend and I can't wait! The plans are ofcourse more concrete now than they were the day I picked her up so rather than me list them out, stay tuned and keep reading... the thread will continually get updated with pics! A very brief list of things I've done till date include: - Rear plate Lights - BC BR Series Coilovers - Bought new Rims (19") and; - Full Audio What's to come: - Stay tuned for some good lookin' and custom / individual mods Sam Last edited by AWBimmer; 01-15-2013 at 06:23 PM.. |

looks sweet mate!!!!
maybe in the meantime before you get new wheels, get these wheels done in anthracite! once your car is dropped and spacers with slightly darker wheels it will completely transform the look of the car!!! a cheaper way to get an aggressive road presence the contrast would be nice speak to dips as you know he is the main for wheels!

Leave the standard Rims, and leave them silver. They look great!

I'm def interested in giving it a somewhat aggressive stance, should I also put spacers at the front as well as the rear? I'll be planning to head to STS next week to get that done but wanted to know what people think? Quote:

Some Pics of the ride lowered - picked up this evening and had a 30mile journey home to get a good feel for it. I have to say, as MUCH as I have fallen in love with the look, I can't seem to get round thinking this is the ride quality I'll have to put up with now! :-(
Firstly, it's too Low for me and secondly coming from an SE to this, it's a MASSIVE change so its very low for me and stiff. I plan to get it raised from all 4 corners and play with the damper settings to make it more comfortable. I think I'm also going to look for new rims with NON RFTs :-( That or I just stick my OE springs back on and be happy with them! It's not the coilovers themselves actually, its the height n it's settings! It's the lowest car I've ever been in so I'm bound to feel the change! Its just far too low for me esp roads I'm on, I had to go sideways on some bumps and It's not so practical but what do I do? I don't fance spending Massive dosh on new Rims n NonRFTs.. but I also don't want to lose the dropped 'look'.. I'm only after something near the M Sport droppage, maybe a TAD TAD bit lower but we're talking micro mm here. Don't know what to do.. Should I keep the Coils little longer, raise and adjust damp settings for more comfort and still have it lower than SE or stick the SE stuff back on --------help!?? Just a couple quick iPhone pics and BIG props to the person who fit these on such short notice as he knew I wanted it before Gaydon.. thanks Dips (EvoT forum sponsor / PBMW mod).

looks awsome mate, I'm used to bumpy and low cars so it wouldnt matter to me i used to have to go over speed bumps side ways all the time, its what you have to put up with for the look, it all depends what you want more mate, comfort or looks.

hmmm what you reli need is se shocks then lower springs, i think m sport as you say is nerli there just abit lower, im not sure what the eibach sports springs lower it to exactly i no some one on here put them on his m sport and said it didnt look any different, as they are fitted now i would raise it up abit to make it practicle and see if you can get used to the stiff ness and teeth chattering, if not swap them bac and just get some sports spring n you get it abit lower)

From an SE to this?
SE 335 suspension is the same as Msport, EXACTLY THE SAME. Obviously including ride height. It looks very low on the coilovers. A little too low.
