From E90 330i to E92 335i

Geonator · 06-07-2010, 01:22 PM

I recently pruchased a CPO 07 335i JB and have loved every min of driving it.
I bought it on the 27th of last month.
So far i have changed the front Kidney Grills to Matte black and have swapped out the Angel eyes and Fog lights to GP thunders..

Gpthunders- I had some RD V2's on my E90 and was really shocked at how the quality the GP's compared to the RDs. The Rd's were much brighter in the day and night time.

I will post pics when i get home today.
I just thought id share that i am a new 335i owner and have loved every second of driving it.

I know there are plenty of advice and mods for the 335i but... id like to see and hear what others have as far as ideas, concepts and any advice that could help while riding the "MOD BUG"

Thanks

I'd get a performance tune if you are not afraid and are willing to remove it for dealer service. Night and day...

A couple of must mods for me are not 335i specific, tint and V1 hardwire. Aero lip is a great bang for your buck mod if you do not want to spend the $$$ on a Mtech front. Mtech sides are VERY nice also IMO (Heck the whole kit is, but sides are a pretty big difference IMO).

congrats on the car, i have an 07 335i myself. Just make sure you do a lot of research before you buy anything. You will find a lot of info on here, you just have to search or ask questions...happy modding!

Id love an Mtech front (the whole kit if u ask me) but the prices are tad bit too high.. I could settle for an Aero lip. Whats the best price for a painted one? I asked a few vendors and havent recieved a response yet.
Im looking into tunes..Still debating on which tune would work best for me.
Thanks for the quick insight!

I just sold my Iforge Swifts which were 19-8.5 front and 19-10 in the rear along with my PSS9's i had installed onto my 330i.
From what ive read on here, The Chasis on an E90 are the same specs as the E92. I'll do more research.

The tune discussion is a controversial one, have fun in the tuner section.

I'd go to LTBMW for the painted Aero lip, that's where I got mine and am pretty happy with the quality/service.

Anyone have anylinks to LTBMW or know how much he retails the painted Aero lip?

DO NOT get a tune that tricks your car into performing. Only get what the factory approves of, a flash. GIAC www.giacusa.com

JB3=Tune? Yeah im very skeptical about getting a JB3...
Id like to look into that company GIAC..
where are they located at?
and what are some ball park figures on getting a tune..
I know i have to couple it with an exhaust and an intercooler.. so thats already taken into consideration.

Really appreciate the advice from everyone..Keep em coming...
