Hello all,

I'm a proud new owner of a fully loaded jet black e92 335i . So glad to finally be part of the BMW community's as I've wanted one for the longest time.

That being said, I wanted to reach out to you all about an interior shop recommendation. I live in Kansas City now, but my car is in Houston until the winter clears up here. I'll be back in a few weeks and wanted to take advantage of our big city's plethora of shops.

Can anyone suggest/recommend an interior place that could wrap my headliner in high quality suede/alcantara?

Thank You!

P.S. I've already bought like 6 things to do to my car once I get back to town on business. Can't wait to start modding this beast b/c i already have the bug.

Anyone have a stock rear bumper, or any style will do, for a pre-LCI (2008) e92 near Houston. Jet black would be ideal but any color will do. Still waiting to be accepted on Facebook group to post there.

Not sure where that is. I'd like to meet up with some locals. How far are you? How far am I from the beach?

The beach is around an hour away from Downtown Houston. If you are farther down 45 ... you should be within an hour. If you don't run into too much traffic.

Just curious as to which intakes people are running in the Houston area. Does everyone go with the BMS DCI or use AFE or drop ins w/stock box? Most people on the forum seem to run DCI but they are on the coasts with ideal temperatures and don't suffer from the heat we have here in the summer which is my only concern about getting DCI. I'm currently Cobb tuned with plans to upgrade the FMIC and downpipes late summer/fall. Replacing my broken charge pipe now and need a new air filter so I was wondering if I should upgrade to a drop in or get DCI.

Since we're on the coast as well, it doesn't actually get too terribly hot here. Lots of 97 degree days and maybe 3 or 4 100's. Dallas on the other hand is over 100 all the time. Our summer humidity sucks though.

Can your engine tell the difference between 93 in Los Angeles or Baltimore vs 97 here?

Yea I was mainly concerned since it's so humid here. I guess I'll give the DCI a shot and see how they do. Thanks.

I had a DCI before and it bogged down too much ( I even lived in Dallas when I had it) wasn't as hot as Houston. I swapped that out for just the high flow filter.

then I found a ultimate racing cai used on the forum and have used that since.

That's what I am thinking about doing. Running the stock air box during the hotter months and then switching to the DCI when it gets cooler. Just looking to put less stress on the turbos until I get a FMIC, downpipes and then an etune later this year.
