| so i picked up my new daily yesterday from motorcars Honda in Cleveland Heights Ohio. A 2009 BMW 335I Xdrive its got damn near every option available, its a coupe (obviously) E92 body, so same body as the M3. its got 300hp/300ft-lbs torque out of a severely under tuned 3.0L twin turbo I6 connected to a 6sp auto with sport and manual mode, and a dynamic traction control system... now i know you guys are prolly asking what im gonna do to it.. and as of right now.. absolutly nothing, this car cost more then i wanted, granted the dealer helped me lower my monthly payment, but short term its stretching my bank account lulz but anyway, after my finances are straight: Body: black grills M3 rear spoiler either M3 bumper, or front lip M3 side skirts 18" VMR wheels 50% window tint engine/trans: drop in filter/ram air kit Agency Power cat back cobb accessport, protuned on 93oct and 14psi/ and 50/50 mix of 100/93oct and 16psi Alpina TCU flash suspension: H&R springs for 335i (non awd) nothing super major, and it will run 12's in the 1/4 mile, and be able to autocross really well (i plan on autocrossing it soon anyway) sooo yeah, sorry for the long read, i just wanted to make sure i got everything covered | |

| wow.. a year later, still got the car, ive put over 24k miles on it and still love every second of driving it.. since last updating ive instaled:
VRSF relocated inlets, which removes the stock airbox and moves twin cone filters from the driver side to the passenger side, also deleting the styock restrictive inlet tubes and replaces it with 2.5" inlet tubes.
deleted my mufflers, replaced with straight pipe and 4" tips
MHD stage 1 flash tune, im currently on 16psi, from what others have said im making around 340awhp right now
alpina TCU flash, this really woke my stock auto trans up. it launches so hard its stupid lol..
plans for next spring:
ESR SR08 wheels, 18x8.5 front, 18x9.5 rear with 235/40 front, 265/35 rear general GMax tires, and BC coilovers | |
