Scootah's Finished Product
I’ve been lurking on the e90 site for around 6 months after buying my 2010 E92 335 DCT , I’ve had some mods done along the way , Proceed , Eibach Pro kit , M3 steering wheel , 19’ GTC wheels , Aerolip , some carbon bits , Lux etc ect
All of the parts have come from vendors on this site and installed by Southern BM or BMR, I can highly recommend both Andrew from Southern BM or Stuart from BMR for any performance upgrade you may have for your Bimmer – but then you guys are already know that. So to my latest edition which was installed today , AR design down pipes , now this mod proved to be a little more challenging with AR changing their pipe design recently , however thanks to Andrew and Stuart the pipes were installed today with no issues. Also thanks to Advan who I understand performed the Mods to the pipe to ensure they fit correctly. So if you want to install DP’s on your beast, I strongly advise you only buy from Southern BM or BMR , else you will have a world of pain installing them. Anyway , thanks for the advice and knowledge you all have been unknowingly been passing on to me for the past 6 months Finally , Pavo you crack me up and where’s Rossi gone , I miss reading his rants Cheers Scootah Last edited by Scootah; 11-26-2012 at 04:58 PM.. |

Welcome scootah, sorry your so shit poor you can't afford an m3 super car, if I was that dirt poor I'd kill myself! Now go and blow some derricks and buy a real car

An alpine white 335 with some tasty mods mmmm where are the pics?!?!
So do you think the DP mod is worth it, are you happy with the change of engine/turbo acoustics? Also what exactly did they have to modify (is this due to LHD to RHD application?) |

I'll let the experts explain exactly what was changed , but believe it was something to do with where o2 sensor mounts hitting steering column. Stu from BMR can elaborate on my wild guess |

I'm guessing it would be easier to do the ECU mod JB4/Cobb etc CAI & DP's all at once but it would be nice to add each part 1st to feel the gains each mod makes on the car in terms of power and the acoustics. |

Yes the front o2 sensor is repositioned to give more clearance on our RHD steering racks. Quote:
Doing it all at once doesn't make a difference compared to doing it in stages... best to do it in stages in fact so you can indeed feel the differences being made. Most N54 tunes only take 30mins to install, whether a piggyback or flash. |

In regards to acoustics , with windows up id say there is no difference, windows down you can certainly hear the turbos spin up, but thats about all, which is what i was after. you wanted Photo's , here is the "almost finished " product |

never been a fan of white, whenever anyone says a white car i think camry But that looks pretty good imo. I keep thinking i shoulda got those rims instead of two sets of the same in different colours you just need some black chrome tips

Thanks for the feedback!
I'm planning to do the tune, AR DP's & maybe CAI mod or just panel filter so its good to know a local user has successfully used the AR downpipes. I must say in comparison to other turbo cars I have driven this car isn't laggy at all, but hey having them spool more efficiently has to be a good thing for power! Wow that is a neat example of a 335i!!! Right click save as/C:Car Porn What colour interior do you have (it almost looks like an individual white interior also?) |
