AlanYoro35i · 02-02-2011, 09:40 PM

Hi Guys

I am drawing up a plan to tune my 335i m sport. At the moment i have an eisenman quads and carbon fibre diffuser , afe panel filter .

Before i remap i am looking into brakes .

Do u guys know if an m3 brake fits a 335i? Is it worth the hassel? I am not looking into mega money for brakes just hoping some breakers would put a set up for under a thousand.. Cant really put 3 grand for a set of brake.. Any advice would be greatly apprieciated.

Other concern is white vinyl wrapping my silver car. Me and my mates had. A disccusion about it. Mates say u will need to declare to dvla v5 bcuz thats the colour of the car changes, i said i only need to declare to insurance company and that should be fine, as im not doing the sills etc if police stops me i can say its paint protection wrap n my insurance knows about this. Am i correct?

Think you would need more than the brakes. Hubs also?!

Also you would deffo need to notify DVLA of a colour change for wrapping.

wrong, you definitely DONT need to inform the DVLA of a Vinyl wrap.

Correct. Its not a permanent colour change so no need to tell DVLA

some great info on Brake upgrades from E92fan in this post, probably not worth the expense of changing to an M3 setup
