The Logic 7 amp is in the trunk definitely on the left side under the compartment.

I recently switched wheels to the 400m style from the f30s

I'm really digging the look

That looks great! Are those the 18" wheels that come on the f30 328 m sport? Did you need any spacers and is your car at factory ride height?

Yeah, they are 18"s which come with the f30 M-sport. I dont know if they are specific to 328 or 335. I used 10mm spacers in the rear. I have KW v3 coilovers set at maximum height.

I'm looking to swap my interior trim and finding a CIC center console trim with the roof switch is very difficult. Anyone know how tough it would be to cut the hole (dremel + steady hand) and mount the roof switch in an e92 trim?

I've cut some carbon fiber hoods in the past... I just haven't looked yet to see how the switch mounts from below and if some creative JBweld would work to secure in place.

Maybe wrapping is a better choice!

Yikes, sounds like a lot of work. I think wrapping is easier. I've done mine.

Installed the split armrest from the euro version E93. Love it. I'm a bit short so it really helps since my elbow didn't reach the original armrest.

Ha. Had to stick to a budget of less than $25k. 2013 328 E93. 21k miles. Exterior is black sapphire. Think I've got some more photos. My 2yo loves riding in the back. Would loved a 335 but just could t find one that was nice in my price point and a manual.

Run Silent · 07-21-2017, 08:12 PM

Here's a couple photos right when I got it delivered to the house.

Ok. Manual e93 are rare. 335i rarer still. Only seen 2 more besides mine in 10 yrs.

+1 I've only seen one other one on the street.

Run Silent · 07-22-2017, 04:43 PM

Well thank you! Yes, I knew I wanted a manual and looked all over the country for one. I live in TN and bought this one from south Florida. Would have loved a 335, but my other requirement other than price and transmission was no black interior. After looking for months, I only found a couple 335s that fit my needs, and they were only in so so shape. Anything that was perfect, was near $30k.

Add me to your list then. I factory ordered my 335 baby. And checked off the Satellite Radio fin delete, so I have a clean trunk. Mine could be the only one in North America then.

This is a super old pic, but you get the idea. Sapphire Black exterior. I've since done a CF wrap on the interior trim as well as the steering wheel trim, switched to the M wheel, and have the M weighted shift knob.

I have seen *one* 6MT E93 335i. Went back two days later to make an offer....Gone.

Awesome thread!

I picked up a 2011 335is a year ago this month, Alpine White with black interior and DCT. Sold my E36M3 sedans to fund the E93 and have no regrets, love the topless experience!

My E93 is mostly stock for now with the exception of a charge pipe, divertor valves, backup camera, and aftermarket 19" wheels. Plan is to lower the car on coilovers, install a FMIC, and get it tuned. Good times ahead!

JeffRichter · 08-11-2017, 07:40 PM

Beautiful car. What backup camera did you use and is it integrated into the Idrive?

Wow, didn't realize so rare. We have a 2013 335i manual, red with saddle. Kind of a stripper - we added the 18 inch wheels from the sport package, but only other options are keyless entry, sat radio, and park assist. Best part - purchased as a CPO last summer with about 13k miles, now has 17k miles. Warranty thru 3/19. Oh, also added Bilstein coilovers, Dinan short shifter, and eliminated clutch delay valve. Great car, although wifey feels it's a little rough!
