This car has some very good potential, it just needs to be pushed in the right direction

Drop me a PM and we can add some serious power to this thing, and get it dyno'd to see what a 330 can really do

Will do Gavin I am looking to keep it around for awhile, and want to get it running as good as a 330 can... my yellow lab broke in the backseat last night with his "pet hammok" (i put 3m clear mask around the door and rocker where he gets in and out yesterday) and he gave the logic 7 stereo system the "paws up" haha.. for some reason whenever I play Black eyed Peas "imma be" he gets real excited!...

Found these 19 deep dish bbs reps on ebay... I really like these too... also like how the back wheels have a much deeper dish.. $1150 plus ship for the wheels isn't to shabby either.... anyone know any other sites I can buy direct from with good prices on bbs reps?

I love those side skirts and rear bumper cover... just don't like the "largemouth" front bumper cover... and I like a dish wheel more often then not so though those look nice, they aren't my style... I think for summer I am gonna splurge on some BBS wheels.. always have wanted a set..(I know my TSW crofts aren't dish wheels.. it was me being different, and regret it) thanks for the links though those are great prices... are all those pieces direct factory fit? I want my panels to line up like they do now, and are they high quality units? thanks for the links and help!

Yea i know mod bargains sells quality bumpers etc. He is a vendor on here and everyone has praise for those products, the main thing is getting a high quality paint job, not some 99$ special somewhere. I would get them myself but my CPO is up in feb so the car is adios for a left over 2010 or 2011 335 maybe an M if I line my cards up right. Your on the right track tho, give the winter time and spring to save up for a real set of BBS's if thats what you have always wanted, and go for originals, i know there $$$$ BUT self satisfaction of having something limited would be cool too, plus resell value on those stay very high unlike reps.

cool then.. this is great info... and yes sir I don't skimp on quality paintwork thats for sure... I will have our dealership paint it... and yes sir it will be da'd to my hearts content and wetsanded to be smooth.. just not so smooth that it doesn't match the factory orangepeel

As far as the wheels go, I do have my heart set on real deal BBS... I have never curbed a wheel in my life... so they will stay of value

I have the 2006 330i sedan, sport, premium, active steering, cold weather, blk/blk + dinan air intake, dinan exhaust, and just installed yesterday the dinan s1 as my rear stock sport shock was gone (after 120k miles)....I love it. Very very tight on corners...little give...it did a mild lowering, and yet the ride is near 95% as comfortable as stock.

I would do it again for sure. I was hesitant at buying non-custom Bilstein / H&R kits, and ended up feeling comfortable not lowering it 1 inch or more given the winters and potholes here....

In other words, I would suggest a suspension mod for you next. You will enjoy it as much as more power given you can apply greater power in corners than before....

I can picture some gangster thug want to be in some hood somewhere driving this. The exhaust looks trippy as well, why are the tips sticking out so much? Id ditch all of the shiny blingy stuff on the car especially that dinan logo on the trunk. But idk, thats just my opinion. I dont like chrome.
