Not easily.

If you put the real OEM 335 dual exhaust on you will have to cut the trunk floor. The extra exhaust takes up that little hiding space that you have the door for in the trunk.

on the e92, as well as the e90's the exhaust is together on 328's and apart on 335's. you'll have to get a 335 rear bumper and then re-route the right exhaust pipe to make it fit. it would be expensive and it would make your car look like a wannabe 335. just have daddy buy you the 335 to begin with so you can learn to drive with a 45k car.

The front grille and the trim, yes. The exhaust will need some modification. If you want a 335i, get it instead of a fake.

usually i would go along with making fun of the OP buuuuuuut.

if u use the same logic of him being a "wanna be" just for wanting to change an exhaust from a 328 to a 335i. the same could be said for people who have put quad tips on a 335i saying that theyre wanna bes for a M3.

1) Don't even think about it.

2) As soon as you earn a drivers license, register with your local BMW CCA Chapter and go to this event: http://www.boston-bmwcca.org/events/...px?EventID=428

3) Now I have this horrible image of a top heavy Calista who can't see her own feet.

Takashi, dont wanna be a dick but you dont know for sure how the money was earned. Some people such as docs are able to have high levels of income earning legally.
Jbiddy +1

and to answer your question, as stated above you would need to route the exhaust pipes. Did you consider a used 335? Plenty of people up here have nice rides up for grabs. Even if you cant get the dual exhaust people over here do some pretty cool stuff in terms of mods so no reason why you can't.
