I actually sort of like the BMW rasp. Many hate it, but I like it. I will probably do two resonators where the secondary cats are. |

A sound clip after I had it "fixed". Save yourself the literal headache, and get some cheap custom work done. *Edit* Stupid YouTube link won't work on this site for me... Search "BMW E92 335i Custom Exhaust Setup" if you want to hear the clip. Last edited by N0Chill 335i; 06-22-2019 at 08:04 AM.. |

I have two resonators laying around. I am going to play around with different set up's and see what is best. My phone camera died yesterday, so I am waiting on a replacement. Should have some updates soon! |

So a few updates. The exhaust tips just came in and the are literally perfect. For $40 shipped, I cannot complain one bit. I just do not like the etching on the side.
Camera should be fixed on Thursday. I am hopefully bringing the car to a friends for a few days to iron out the rest of the body work and get the exhaust welded up. The right side mirror parts also came in today. I REALLY need to sell my E90 but I have been lazy posting it up. I need to do the valve cover and motor mounts. Here are some pictures of the tips. Excuse my crappy rug, its there for a reason haha. |

Sunday I will be able to bring my car to the other shop for some more space to work. It's going to be amazing to see everything come together. I got another camera so I will document the work when I am a settled in there.
Updates soon to come! These FINALLY came in. The car was missing all but one. A pain in the but when you are low and need to quickly take a wheel off. |

Time to get serious. Finally got the car into the shop. Had to put everything back in order to drive it over. This week I will have some updates. The REAL paint work will not be done for at least a month or two, so I have something special for the mean time
I was also able to get a new windshield installed. Old one had a crack in the center towards the top that was growing. I am so excited to get everything together this week! |

Honestly, All of the after market options suck. I think I am going to wait until a wrecked one shows up locally so I can cut out the power bulge and vents. That will be the final step when I get some actual paint laid. I have found a few hoovering around $300ish which is not too bad.
For now I have some vents that look pretty good. These N54's run hot so some ventilation would help. |

This seems like quite the project but so cool. For under $3k why the hell not. I cannot stand those crappy “matte” wrap jobs. Kind of curious if you’ve got to the root of the problems it had when your bought it.

One the thing looks presentable, I'll start doing some other modifications / maintenance. It's a fun little project for me and this is a 3rd vehicle so I can leave it out of commission. |

So I was looking at the new rear bumper last night. Pulled it out of the box and saw this:
The clips are almost broken. I have not even attempted to install this yet. I emailed the company to see what they say.... What would you guys do about this? It's obviously going to break. The bumper was not "Cheap" but it was very expensive for what it was. If 2 of these tabs break, I know there are going to be fitment issues. |

Care to share who you got the bumper from? Sounds like a decent connection if they make it right.
Looking forward to the progress, I have to live vicariously through you for a couple months until I can make it back stateside. |
