Whoever owned this car before DESTROYED the carpets. I am sure I could have gotten them quite clean, but black looks MUCH better.

It helps when your friend had a parts car.

Should be finishing most of it this weekend. I have 3 different trims, so I am wrapping one in forged carbon. Might paint the other one.

Also got a steering wheel wrap and red start / stop / wheel logo.

Is this car a coupe or sedan?

Cheers!

What suspension are you running? I have tons of clearance at -1 degree camber. I am running BMW performance suspension and F80 style 640M wheels. They are 18x9 in the rear but I don't remember the offset at the moment.

I finally got around to installing my front F30 BMW performance brakes. Need to find time to mount the rears and the M3 master cylinder. Those dimpled and slotted rotors sure to make some interesting noises.

Did the "Lego mod" tonight. I actually used some nylon stock but it worked the same.

I stalled some Eldor coils In My 335. Idles smoother than it ever had. Feels a bit pepier too

Bilstein b12 pro kit, 18x9.5 et 23 and achillies atr sport 2 (255/35). I also think these stupid tires run big, But they are cheap and good have ran them for 5 years on other set of wheels without problems so I went with them again.

There is a diy in my build thread in the photo section and a full one on the forum if you search it. I'm on my phone now so it's hard to explain it.

Nice. I still need to get mine on. Still waiting to paint the car lol.

colorado.e9x · 03-06-2020, 12:42 AM

Not my car or a BMW but my friends and I finally got our friends '77 Corvette up and running with the new engine. Nothing can beat a V8 running off the headers imo

riczon.335i · 03-06-2020, 10:02 AM

Installed brand new O2 sensors this morning, my right arm hurts due to the small ass space I had to deal with lol.

freakystyly · 03-06-2020, 10:46 AM

Replaced weak hood struts, no more coming down on my head from a slight breeze

Mazen328 · 03-06-2020, 12:29 PM

Installed new shifter knob, what do you think?

So does this mean you can move the shifter without brakes and even with the car off?

Mazen328 · 03-06-2020, 01:14 PM

You still have to press the brake pedal to move from P.

I’ve been learning paint correction as a hobby. Luckily I Have a professional giving advice and information. So slowly been working on my car as I learn. Bmw paint is a hard finish, which is great, slows the cutting process, less chance of mistakes.

Why could BMW not think of that? It looks so much better!

I suppose the next step would be to install a fake clutch pedal...
