I have no idea brother but they are amazing. Im sure you wont seem them often in Victoria. Color is perfect to match space grey and they are 20 inch. Pull the trigger if they are around or below $5k. 20 inch suits M3 more as body is wide so 19 inch may suit non M better. Need to try both sizes.

This is the first link I found. Specs are my preference for fronts. Rears in 10inch mininum would be my recommendation. They are forged but god damn not cheap. I'm sure it can be found cheaper elsewhere. Timeless design and worth it.

Also BBS FI > BBS FI-R's. The double lip of FI looks better suited/prettier for the simpler bodied 335i then the single lip design that FI-R carries. Also titanium color is the one I'd choose. Need to look online to see if 19s or 20s look better on 335i body, I am leaning towards 19s due to narrow wheel arches of 335i. Either way just beautiful.

[e36mmm]

Yep 19's will be perfect. Forget 20s due to the power level and ride height your running as 20s only going to look great if you are running very low ride height with ultra low profile tyres.19 inch with 40 profile fronts and 35 rears would look

Or;

Consider Hyper Silver ARC-8's in 19s with agressive width and they are lightweight from memory. Not as flashy but still damn nice imo if agressive width is selected such as 9.5 fronts (as your running m3 fenders or otherwise I'd go 9 ) and 10 inch + rears.. Much cheaper and I have hears a lot of good things about them. Me likey.

This is great info E36 so many beautiful wheels
BBS F1s are way out of my price bracket... thats like $8K before adding rubber eeeeeek.... ARC8s also another nice wheel, Def need a 9, 10 and 10.5 just protrude past the guards and just attract po po

[e36mmm]

Haha love your memes Socket. I agree with you on cost of bbs fi's. Arc8s so cheap and lightweight with great appearance. Wide hyper silver Arc8's on SPCGRY for the win!

I need this head massage after seeing the price of bbs fi's LOL

I also found another mod for you if it fits your boot. Oem Carbon e92 m3 performance lip for rear boot to match your sidemirrors and body color. That's a must if you have not done so..

This shape..

Thanks mate but I'm all good in the spoiler dept.... running the CF boot with duckbill.... spoiler would only work if I threw my stock boot back on... but nicely spotted.... i'm sure this will help someone out who is looking for this

Def looking into the ARC8s 19 x 9s ET28 and 72.56 center bore in satin black

Forgot you had the carbon spoiler! My bad!! 19x9 fronts sounds perfect. And if you can fit 19 x 10.5 in rears, my gosh they will look tough if not 19x10 will do and fit easily. Make sure you don't go too thin on tyre like what I have now. Wheels can get lost in appearance when the tire is barely visible. A bit of chunk is good. 40/235 fronts and 35/265 rears would be superb, will fill the gaps im arches without needing to lower the car any lower than it is and will protect your rims for longer as sidewall is thicker.

Personally I wouldn't go satin black or anthracite on space grey when you have everywhere else in darker shades. Like your spoiler and bumpers etc. Pretty please with sugar on top reconsider Hyper silver to give it contrast

This build is so amazing. One of the reasons I fell in love with Space Gray. Awesome job, Socket !

I'm considering picking up some M3 mirrors, as well. Do you happen to know if they're direct plug & play? My 335i LCI has the folding mirrors and all that jazz, so I'm assuming it would just carry over?

Thanks for your kind words GHST and welcome to the forum mate

Tells us a bit more about your car and what you have planned

Now to your question on the mirrors

Yes they should be plug and play, certainly are for the preLCI and should be for the LCI afaik

Here is my DIY on the mirror install. Very simple... don't even need to remove the door cards

Thanks man! That DIY is awesome by the way, I'm so glad I don't have to remove the entire door card haha.

I just got a 2011 335i M-Sport with every option from the factory in Space Gray and Coral red leather interior. Really excited to start modding, just not sure where to start, even though I have a humongous build list haha.

Wheels, hood, diffuser, quad exhaust, M3 mirrors, splitters, M4 bumper are all on the list so far. I've already got the BMW Performance Exhaust installed, window tint & roof wrap is up next! Then who knows.

Your car Socks looks to sit about 25mm lower than mine which makes it look really good but how you don't rub on speed bumps, etc at that height surprises me. My car, at its height, rubs on some speed bumps, driveways and I always have to stop short of those hunks of concrete in car parks to avoid putting any more scratches on the front bumper.

Same - I'm at the stock M sport ride height and have to be really careful.

[e36mmm]

I sit slightly lower all round than Socket and I don't rub at all so I do not see why Socket would. Even if I have to carry 4 people and a boot full, I reverse park wherever I go and I don't tackle hard bumps or steep driveways. I do not even have a rub mark or scrape marks below my front lip. I have take ultra care on the road which sort of ruins the experience but the stance is worth it.

I noticed this when on tour in Tasmania with socket. The ride height is low like this when he had his wallet in the car, once he removed his wallet it was closer to m spec ride height.

I could imagine that being true.
