Sweet whip! I've always liked this blue

I like everything except the cf hood...very 90's-esq and takes away from the clean look

Thanks man! I'm really debating a CF CSL trunk but I just can't pull the switch yet. First world problems...

Ha, yeah - of course. I get that a lot. I just have this weird love for the CF look Ty for looking!

[AlpineSwift]

Not a fan of the exhaust tips or the yellow fog laminx. Looks JDM as f$#% to me with those 2 parts. Otherwise, looks great...apart from your driving killing a spliter. lol

I actually like the yellow fogs. Only thing I would really change is the motor

Join the club, brother. Figured I'll hold off until I feel like dropping down on a E92 M3. TBH, I was scared away from the 335.

Your car looks great! Have you considered wrapping the roof in gloss black?

Thanks man. I've debated it a few times. I wanted to do a CF wrap, but the wraps just aren't my taste in context with the gloss/'real' carbon fiber.

Not entirely sure. That, along with a CSL are both up in the air.

OEM cf roof is the only way to go. Roughly 3500 in parts plus labor.

Thx in advance

Exactly and exactly, lol. Just seems overkill for a 328i. But god, so gorgeous.

Lip was about $300~ from **********s. Not sure of the rules, but URL http://www.**********s.com/OEM-BMW-M...3-3-Series.htm Mod. Bar.Gains

Had to get it paint matched locally. Makes such a huge different in the front end IMHO.

Oops, sorry, UNDER the lip that's the Kerscher style CF Lip/splitter. It's available at the above URL and there is also a vendor here that supplies them, too. If you Google that term/search forum you should pop up the guy on here. I forgot his username.

Car is looking clean, but the only thing i would change (since we have the same car) is painting the hood and instead of the m3 spoiler i would do the high performance spoiler which has a wayy higher kick. Just my 2 cents, but the car looks excellent! Love the CF accents.

Yeah, I've been debating CSL for some time now. Shrugs. We'll see Thanks for the suggestion!

N52 is bullet proof, yes. N54 is just like any other high strung turbo motor. Takes tender loving care to kick ass. Don't respect it, it'll piss you off every chance it gets.

Looks Great! Nice blue...

After I become more 'familiar' with everything I kind of kicked myself in the ass, but on the same token, my desire was always reliability over speed or anything else while picking a BMW.

I just tell myself it's the stepping stone to the M3 to help me sleep at nights.

But then I see guys with 450hp 335's at meets with bolt-ons, tunes and up boost and I feel like a little girl.

[EzequielR]

BROO I KNOW WHAT YOUR MISSING! lmao. i remember seeing your car and saying hmm, its beautiful but its missing something. CF SPLITTERS! and like i mentioned before a CF high kick performace spoiler or csl trunk.

[DC_Oldboy]

Looks pretty good. But did that lip broke in half? Or is it just bent? Lol

[Mardio]

Love the color...
