Hello All, my name is Ben and I come from an Audi family. Decided to change it up and join the dark side. lol. I just purchased a black 2009 335i coupe M-package w/ all the option possible. I just love the fact that all the trims are blacked out including the headliner. (Just like my S4 )

I immediately started my modifications. So far it has: JB4, LED halo's, painted reflectors, piano black grilles, and window tint. I am planning on doing the lip, spoiler (maybe CSL trunk), and quad exhaust this summer. Hopefully by end of the year, I will install new rims, suspension, meth kit. I will post my progress as a log, but I don't know which section to post it at since I am new to this forum. Once I figure it out I will post some pictures.

Also, if there is a BMW meet around southeast Michigan, please let me know. I would like to come out and checkout other BMW enthusiast cars.

I am a 2008 335i E90 Black/black with Sport wheels (presently very dirty).

No mods at this time. Eventually yes. I'll tune it up maybe next year. For this year, I'll need to plan for a winter set of shoes. Debating if I could use the stock wheels with skinnier winter rubber, thus allowing for something more interesting as a summer wheel set up. I have my doubts given the wide rear wheels with the sport package.

Maybe I'll whiten up the AE lamps this year for show.

For go, probably a Dinan or Cobb tune and an updated intercooler eventually. Exhaust would be fun, but I choke at the costs of 335 exahusts that are essentially just a pair of mufflers with minimal tubing coming out of them.

I was able to put 225/40R18 on all 4 162 sport wheels for winter (including the wider rear). Although I would not recommend pushing the car too much in dry/wet, the snow traction is nice with the narrower setup. I was also able to rotate, putting the rear wheels up front. The hard cornering predictability did change, but I'll be able to squeeze 1 to 2 years more out of them.
