Paris Autoshow 2010 Live Coverage: BMW 335i LCI with BMW Performance Parts

Taipei-TT · 10-01-2010, 02:03 AM

I love the lip . .and yes it does remind me of the Audi RS lip. (I am a recovering Audi fanboi)
The rear diffuser is sweet, but wow, the spoiler on the trunk looks sooooo Honda aftermarket to me. Not a fan.
And I think the steering wheel just pushed me over the edge. I've been toying with ordering one for my 325coupe. . . but didn't like the yellow strip . . . I think I can live with it seeing in in the car. I think it will look even better with my aluminum trim than it does with all that carbon.

Pretty cool....beats a lot of the 'packages' out there . . .and aside from the spoiler. . . looks OEM +, just as it should.

SnMalone · 10-01-2010, 02:21 AM

ah ok thats how the fishlift looks

ysh.90 · 10-01-2010, 02:39 AM

I wanna get that front lip right away................... Soooo clean.

marcel b · 10-01-2010, 04:30 AM

I reallly prefer this front without the foglights, much cleaner then the one including the foglights. Curious if they will put this bumper on the market here in Europe, as untill now it was only for the 335is which is US only...
Seats are amazing, I am enjoying them every day

Wieght difference is about 4kg per seat for the coupe because of the side airbags. More important though you have much better side support and you sit significantly lower in the car. I can even use a helmet now

Considering to go for the rear diffuser.... looks really nice.

zesus-3 · 10-01-2010, 04:57 AM

The package prob pushes this car's price deep into M3 territory.....why would somebody get this instead of an M3? Makes no sense...MMM-poster!!! Dare I say even ricey? People are all goo goo gaga over the seats? Ive seen Sparco's and Recaro's that look and most likely feel better than those too...Not a fan. Headlights look horrible as well.

Ok, the parts are not "M", second the seats are made by Recaro. Why are people goo goo gaga? Well its a nice fuckin car. Nothing better than factory upgrades vs some of the aftermarket crap people put on their cars.

JSCO · 10-01-2010, 06:35 AM

stripe has to go...interior is money

RON1X · 10-01-2010, 06:46 AM

Alexxxx · 10-01-2010, 07:01 AM

Wooooow

OSK77 · 10-01-2010, 08:09 AM

Dig the seats.....sick!

fdsasdasdf · 10-01-2010, 08:44 AM

I have always been a big fan of BMW performance wheels. Very sharp.

GOLFFRR · 10-01-2010, 12:56 PM

after looking at the pics again i def have fallen in love with those seats and that steering wheel. def going to look into getting those seats as soon as possible in my ride

katsudon · 10-01-2010, 03:16 PM

does anyone know how much these stock white angel lightbulbs cost???

EHDEN · 10-01-2010, 05:39 PM

this is what the iS should have been to differentiate it even more than the 335i!!

Freak · 10-01-2010, 06:00 PM

Do you know anyone in the states that sell those seats?

group buy maybe?

Robert · 10-01-2010, 06:02 PM

Great scott, BMW manages to mess up a good product for changes sake.

Keith x 335i · 10-01-2010, 06:39 PM

This car is so hot. Makes my 3 series look old.

I don't like the rear spoiler, too non-OEM looking, prefer the M3 type. But you are dead right about the stripe... I mean wtf ?

Quasimodem · 10-01-2010, 11:08 PM

This is an excellent illustration of how much work is involved in making sure a single product line is not improved too much so as to cut into the sales of a more lucrative product line: the M series.

I think we all must applaud BMW's extra hard work in making sure the 3xx series car line will never look as good as the M3.

nano10 · 10-02-2010, 12:42 AM

i which they finally made a more aggressive break kit for it!!! the calipers look to plain on that car

Alpin3_F30 · 10-02-2010, 03:04 AM

Sad to say my E46 coupe looks more aggressive than this thing.
