E92 335I Build Thread

RealJ22 · 06-02-2021, 11:56 AM

Wish I had some updates...

All the rest of the parts are fully prepped. It was supposed to be done on Friday. I just need to get my own spray gun.

RealJ22 · 06-04-2021, 02:42 AM

Finished the rest of the parts. Was getting late while installing. Should have more updates tomorrow.

RealJ22 · 06-04-2021, 03:33 PM

Slapped a few things on. Nothing is really "Attached".

RealJ22 · 06-08-2021, 11:12 AM

Haven't got much completed due to friends coming to town.

Installed the rear LED plate lights and new handle with camera. Also worked on a few more fitment things. The front air intakes for the bumper do not fit well at all. I should have some more updates tonight!

RealJ22 · 06-09-2021, 10:47 AM

After some thought, I think I'm keeping the color matched surrounds. Grills are going black though. I can always paint them black in the future.

RealJ22 · 06-15-2021, 02:24 PM

Finally brought her home. Working on small fitment things. A few black parts have to be sprayed.

First time outside of the compound with new paint.

It’s been too hot to do work lately. I really want to make this front lip work though

Looks awesome! Did you decide to keep the grilles color matched?

They are actually being painted right now. Along with my roof rails, antenna, and mirror parts / spoiler.

RealJ22 · 07-02-2021, 07:13 PM

Finally painted my parts black

Mirror sides and bases
Roof Rails
Antenna cap
Re-cleared the spoiler (Still debating if I am going to do something with it)

It finally almost looks like a car!

RealJ22 · 07-03-2021, 02:51 PM

Finished assembling my other mirror. I also attached the chrome trim around the windows. I am not going to paint this because it tends to chip fairly easily. Wrap it is.... (Yuk).

RealJ22 · 07-05-2021, 07:44 PM

Finally finished up the door cards. All 4 are ready to go in. I have to do my pillars and headliner next. Getting CLOSE.

RealJ22 · 07-06-2021, 09:14 AM

All door panels are ready. Just have to screw them together. I am missing ONE screw insert on a door that I am going to have to order. I hate finding small bits and pieces that I have to re-order.

Car should have some more work done this weekend as well. I figured out my decal situation finally for fenders.

RealJ22 · 07-07-2021, 10:35 AM

Need to wrap the trim. Decided against paint due to chipping (For now). I have a spare set I will spray in the mean time just for fun

I have a couple little projects this weekend that I want to tackle. Then she will *Almost* be ready for a full reveal.

RealJ22 · 07-07-2021, 11:29 AM

My OCD was going crazy. Thank god I found my spare. This is temporary until I go LCI.

RealJ22 · 07-08-2021, 08:03 AM

Finished wrapping the window trim. I’m going to end up painting it to make it perfect. I do not like the seam. I do have another set to work on though while I am doing this.

Good job, takes a lot of work to continue posting updates. Two years of work, wow unique color!

raptorman5174 · 07-08-2021, 09:08 PM

Car looks good, nice job

Looking good! We'll have to go for a cruise once it's not 120F. I'm moving down in a few weeks.

I’m down! I still need to finish up a few things before it’s ready.

Thanks for the kind words everyone!

RealJ22 · 07-11-2021, 07:29 PM

Found this at the store today. Going to paint match it

RJ Squirrel · 07-16-2021, 06:03 PM
