New 335d user here..autovogue'd :-)

KAL M4 · 09-09-2010, 05:15 AM

Verma- Please post some pics up!! I got my 335D and did not know of Autovogue otherwise I would have opted to go down that road myself... it's unique (not chavy)... it has class but not to over kill (IMO)

Paul... you still using the tyres you got off me, or have you burned all the rubber?

M3-FAST · 09-09-2010, 03:31 PM

Verma, as Rog says, they are Alufelgen SF71's in Hyper-Black, but do have the basic CSL design so you are forgiven for mistaking them for CSL's - Love the wheels and they fit perfectly with no spacers req'd.

If your over in Stafford drop me a PM, I live there, only a few miles away from AutoVogue. Would be nice to see the car in the metal!

Lee, +1 - pics pics pics!!!

Kal, I have one of the tyres on but the other one was too badly damaged to use. My fitter recommended me not to use it and as he runs a part-worn tyre place and repairs tyres for a living, I took his word on it and have just kept it in my stores at work as a spare in case I ever need one in an emergency.

drives fine with the 20's not harsh at all, feels nice and planted but still smooth and comfortable. i actually brought mine from autovogue. with regards to the speed bumps, i think they do 2 different ride heights for the front as i know a guy who has an autovogue 335i and his is higher than mine at the front but the same height at the rear, exactly the same kit as mine, and he has no problems with the speed bumps at all.

verma · 09-10-2010, 04:17 PM

That looks great!! Saw another grey one there but wasn't M Sport so went with the black one, I've gone for the hyper silver type finish too :-) Any future mods planned?? And can anybody suggest any worthwhile mods to this already modded car :-)

Rookstar · 09-11-2010, 02:06 AM

the only real mod i want to do to mine is fit a short shifter. the gearbox feels fine at the min but the throw front 1st to 2nd gear seems quite long. think this is only because of the cars ive had before this have all been performance cars and the gearbox just doesnt feel quite as tight on this one. ive also got a private plate to go on, ive ordered some german ones up for it, just waiting for them to arrive now.

M3-FAST · 09-11-2010, 02:55 AM

The car looks great Rookstar - Bring it over to the Stafford meet on Sunday! Would be great to see it

i am interested in sourcing the autovogue rear bumper for my 335 cab - would any of you autovogue owners be able to help? as they will not sell the rear on its own?

If you own one already, they may well supply you with a replacement for you local bodyshop to paint?

Could anyone help me out?

verma · 10-09-2010, 12:45 PM

Finally got the black performance grille on today and here's the first pic, will get some more when I get a chance..grille makes a big difference IMO!

Hi, love the Autovogue kit and am thinking of purchasing a 330 or 335d. Just wondered how you are getting on with it, as I have a few concerns. Perhaps you would be good enough to advise on the following?
1. I live in an area with a lot of speed humps, how does the front of the car cope with these?
2. Will be doing about 50 miles a day, mainly A- roads and Motorway, how does the car run with lowered suspension and 20" rims? I want something fairly comfortable.
3. Does the car eat tyres? Not a boy racer so won't be wheel spinning every time I pull away, but tyres look like the lowest profile I have seen and would guess you would be looking at £300 + a corner to replace?

Hope you can advise, thanks.

Em135eye · 01-05-2011, 10:13 AM

Rock - what profile are those tyres?!

I'd brick myself every time I saw a pothole! Or bit of gravel. Or even a squashed fly.

toxicnerve · 01-05-2011, 12:38 PM

'grats on the cars but sorry, the bodykits are not my thing.

They should be called Autovulgar!

Candy 01 · 01-13-2011, 01:13 PM

AutoVogue do some sexy looking car's, people need to stop hatting on them just because they look better than you're standard/msport Bmw no need to cry about it!

Roy and Verma car's looking sexxyyyy!

Looking to get myself one.

Aggro mate, they don't look as good as a standard BMW. And in 5-6 years time will look as bad as old modded E36 look like.

Em135eye · 01-13-2011, 01:16 PM

Hatting? Is that some kind of West Midlands thing?

People are allowed to dislike things. Maybe some don't think Autovogue stuff looks "better" than standard/MSport stuff? Not every BM owner is a 20 year old chav with a few quid ;-)

I hate RR Sports on 22" Kahns. Does that make me wrong? Who knows?

Some like the AV stuff, some don't - different strokes for different folks.

I was meant to say hater's meaning people who hate on others for a certain reason. You don't need to be a chav to like the AV car's it's called personal preference. I doubt a chav would be able to afford a £28000 car in the first place!

Plenty of Chav's afford far more than 28k. Just look at some of the hideous Bentley's and RR gracing our roads.

I know, far too common. I saw two Bentleys today riding low on Kahn alloys. Disgusting.

I thought that too. Too much "air" not enough substance.

Just my opinion.
