Whatsup everyone,

I bought this car in November and finally had the chance to give it a bath and get some good pictures. Its a 2008 335xi and if anyone knows who the original owner is (Its a one owner from NJ originally I believe) please let me know. As for mods there is a laundry list of stuff that I want to get done but as of now the car has -KW V3 Coils
-BMS Duel cone intake
-Carbon Fiber M3 trunk (high kick) spoiler

And thats it for now. But im in the Attleboro area if anyone knows of any shows or events or meets etc.. it would be cool to see what else is around here. Thanks for looking everyone and just to add a quick note... I hit a pothole in RI last week and now its going to cost me about $1000 to fix due to blowing the strut in the druver side front. Watch out out there this one came out of no where and was half the size of the road.

Welcome

Ill take one and post it after i clean the car tomorrow. Personally i debated it for so long then decided on the carbon fiber. I like the white and black theme so to speak. But if i get sick of it i can just get it painted white in the future

I was thinking about doing that but I thought the vinyl would be a diff shade of black if that makes sense. Just cause i know how plasty dip comes out but if i do flat black on the roof itll get scratched so easily i would assume.

I am in the same situation you are, i just blew my front pass strut, i was not planning to do anything to the car yet because i have other toys to play to but now i need to, i was thinking yeah im going with KW but then i realize i have 2 friends running D2 on their slammed cars both for more than 2 years problem free, so just because everyone goes KW does not mean we all have to follow,
on the 550i he runs it slammed/hard i don`t know how he daily drive the car in NYC like that but he does, i drove the car and is ok a little hard but not way too bad, the acura is on mid setting soft/hard and it rides really good, so i guess for less than 1000 im going that route.

With the new top coat out, the gloss is testing 95-96% gloss. i would check out the videos on youtube. dipyourcar is the name of the company and they are the ones who helped developed it. heres a video of the new top coat.
