I'm chuffed, he's chuffed, happy days.

Good news! Right so what e92 have you bought? M3? Manual?

I was gutted you never got to put the spacers and suspension on, however I do feel confident in matching your 10 and 12 mm spacer set up and Spring choice.
Also, funny question but can you tell me what grades of scotch brite you used on your hubs? Mine are in the same state as yours were but there's so many grades to choose from and I've never used this stuff before?
Cheers.

Hi Rog,

Unfortunately I just never jelled with the 335. I didn't like the turbo nature - I'm a screaming NA man - and the package just felt very very bland. As such I didn't have the heart to start modding it - it felt as if I was going to be flogging a dead horse. So I just kept it stock and made it nice and tidy before finally selling it on. As it happens, that was to someone who had specifically been searching for a Space Grey E91 335i... So the poor thing is finally being appreciated!

As for scotch pads - you don't need to overthink it mate, you're only sanding off surface rust! But the green ones are usually the coarse grade, followed by brown (medium) and grey (fine). But plain old green ones are perfect for the job. Simply sand down evenly, as much as you can, to achieve a smooth finish for paint. Its all in the prep.

Just got myself an E92 M3 aswell coming from a 330i touring.

Both in Space Grey.

V8 is just awesome. I have had some cars that I thought were Great. But in reality they were just Very Good. M3 makes you feel like you are 17 again. Unbelievable machines.

Enjoy.
