the car was produced in September 2009
Graphite Metallic Black
Currently covered 44000miles
The car is not dynoed but it was faster than my friend's CLA45AMG with rolling start (of course), and that CLA45AMG has a dual clutch transmission, so I assume my 335i car has at least 380BHP

Mod list:
Full M3 bodykit+bonnet+rear wing, all done with genuine M3 parts
BMW competition front carbon splitter
Carbon eye lid
Carbon kidney grill
Full M3 interior
Genuine M3 Wheels (Style M220)+Michelin Pilot Sport 2 (M3 spec)
Genuine M3 Exhaust back box
EBC yellow stuff brake pads
Bilstein B14 Height adjustable Coilovers
JB4 G5
BMS air intake
CP-E intercooler
CP-E additional oil cooler
CP-E catless downpipes
CP-E charge pipe
Tial Blow off valve
NBT satnav, supports BMW Apps and Bluetooth
Logic 7 speakers+Logic 7 Amp
headlight blackout+LED rings done by UK member Josh
M Performance gear knob and gaiter

Bad bits:
The car is recorded as stolen recovered according to RAC history check
No more service history after October of 2012 (not long before it was stolen)
And I work on the car my self, so no BMW service history during my ownership.

So how much does it worth?

I couldn't sell my mint one for £12k, and that was a 2009 with full service history, a few tasteful mods - and I was only the 2nd owner from new. Granted mine had 80k on the clock.

I would stay away from "assumed" power figures in any ad you put up, as it's complete speculation and therefore worthless.

What is going to hamper you most with this is the stolen/recovered and complete lack of service history - even if the car is tidy.

If you want a good response with some suggested pricing for you, your going have to put up some pictures!!!

Sounds nice, but not wish to offend you, it could look an absolute DOG! (Sure it is not, but you know what i mean, and this thread deserves this..........

what comes up cat d or c?

if so it was never stolen recovered it has had a whack before. stolen recovered is cat X mate but many sellers say there cat d is stolen recovered as they don't like to admit its been in a hit as it puts people off. not saying this is you but maybe you could of believed what the guy before told you

I am dying to see pics of this though. my pal just sold his red E93 335i hpi clear for 13k with M3 everything on. it was a 58 reg auto cant remember the mileage

Thanks, I will try to get the car dynoed to make it more attractive

It is indeed a cat D shown on the record not a cat X, the report didn't mention anything to do with accident when I did the hpi check and seller said it was because the interior stuff such as sat nav etc were lost after it was found, before I buy the car I test drive the car and tackled few corners and it feels all good compare to my old 335i so I made the purchase, the MOT test also didn't show anything suspicious, so I believe what the seller said was true.

ah yes, if parts were taken off etc they would declare It a D or C.

Looks really good.

I'm really sorry to go off-topic on your thread, but perhaps my question may be of interest to potential buyers? I was just wondering if you could let us know your thoughts on the Bilstein B14 Height adjustable coilovers - I was considering buying them. Many thanks!

No problem mate, my thought is if you don't bring the car on to the race track then B12 is already a very well sorted kit, the thing with the height adjustable coilover is if you don't have the experience and knowledge about suspension tuning, you will mess up the weight balance at front and rear axle and make the car hard to handle(understeer, oversteer), as a street car I actually recommend B12, or even stock structs with Eibach springs, I bought the B14 because I never had a height adjustable coilover before so I think it would be a interesting thing to have and the B16 is just too expensive, but after all the hassle adjusting the coilover to find the perfect balance to suit my driving style(little initial understeer but the rear end can come out if push harder with minimum body roll), I think it is better to go for a B12 or Lowering Springs.
If you are going for the stance and doesn't really care about the handling, air suspension is the way to go, and they don't handle that bad these days,the only bad thing is you need to put a tank in your boot

Thanks, I appreciate the advice! B12 is tempting, the only reason I'm interested in the height adjust is that if the drop with the fixed kit is too much or too little, then I'm stuck!

Good luck with your sale. Car looks really good!

B12 can let you get through almost all the speed bumps in the UK with no problem at all (My friend has it on his E46 M3), so it won't be too low unless your going rallying, also changing the anti roll bar makes the car feels a lot sportier without sacrificing too much usability, but to swap the rear anti roll bar on a E92, you have to drop the whole rear subframe (a big job).
And thanks for your bump too!

No problems, thanks for the tips!
