DEFINITELY!!!

I debadged my space gray E90 328 just because it looks cleaner, but I think if I had a 335i it would look good with the dark badging...

sickem · 04-02-2011, 10:17 AM

plus I think I'd get black kidney grilles before I worried about taking the badges off.

RaceBlood · 04-02-2011, 10:22 AM

Dont want black kidneys unless I tint...and get new wheels...

hipnotic · 04-02-2011, 10:26 AM

looks clean now

ok, not really sure what one has to do with the others, but it's your car!

tec95_2000 · 04-02-2011, 10:38 AM

Maybe it's the angle of the picture, but your exhaust tips look misaligned. I really like the debadged look, btw.

Beemw335 · 04-02-2011, 11:17 AM

Nice car.... Whats up with the pin stripe though... This is 2011 you know?

RaceBlood · 04-02-2011, 11:48 AM

Yea, the pinstripe is old school, retro, unique, makes the lines even longer, will de pinstripe when I swap out front reflectors, it will bo now 1 year with the stripes and no mods, but in last month added rear lip, front lip and finally the reflectors. Adding Aluminum pedals and thats about it...

michaelalex17 · 04-02-2011, 11:54 AM

its your car man if you like it dont listen to anyone else.

RaceBlood · 04-02-2011, 11:59 AM

Got that right, my dad had a 67 caddy eldo, same combo as this, but with wire wheels, and red pitstripes, I was 7 and got to wash it every saturday in the summer, my love affair with the car started then, shortly thereafter, when I was 11, my older brother got a Triumph TR6, and helped him keep it running and thats how learned about car stuff..

do you drive to work daily down jackson around union?

klipseracer · 04-02-2011, 01:11 PM

Its your car, but IMO, Pinstripes are almost as bad as flames...

I agree that the pinstripe is old school, retro, and unique... but the 335i isn't any of them.

But then again, it's your car. If you're happy, more power to ya

i've seen this car in downtown before. Did you buy this w/ pinstrips @ westmont laurel bmw

imajnazn23 · 04-02-2011, 02:06 PM

looks good. we should do a meet/photoshoot sometime.

RaceBlood · 04-02-2011, 02:26 PM

No I bought the car at Fletcher Jones Audi, was a Perillo bought car traded in on a S5. I added the pinstripes to be different. Funny thing is, when I take it to a dealer, a shop or a BMW type place, everyone compliments the stripes, or comments, I know they are not for everyone, but I like em, the 3 is one the few coupes out there in this modern era that you can actually lay stripes on a line...

I dont use the car to commute, work from home (well, was layed off on March 14 but got a nice severance) and was about to retire soon anyway. This car is strictly pleasure, when I was working I had to hit the big malls in the metro area a few times a month, but I mainly travelled 3-4 days week via flights.

I am a luxury designer brand manager, at wholesale, my accounts were Neiman Marcus, SFA, Barneys, Nordtrom and Macy's...may be moving to NYC or LA, Hong Kong/Beijing most likely as they luxury market there is just blooming, here its mature and decreasing...
