Simple answer...no.

You could run a different type of modified 325/328/330 exaust with dual tips, but you cant run the 335i exaust without the rear diffuser and trunk section.

you could cut the current 328 bumper, but would look ghetto. find a 335 bumper wont be too expensive.

check that out it can be done, i just want a dual tip exhaust i like the looks of it, they don't have many exhausts offered for the 328i and the ones they do id rather just spend $200-300 more and get a dual.

Dude I did the convertion and it is expensive I got all the labor for free from a BMW tech. And all the parts I used were OEM. I spend close to $2000 and for that money you can put something more sportier looking. If I only knew what I know now!!!

you're in good hands with long. But yeh you would need a 335 bumper or do what i did - get an mtech bumper meant for the 335 and your choice of difuser and run with whatever you like.

i agree with the 335 guy...if you have this much money(about 2k) to blow on something that will do nothing performance wise really to your car and just make you look like a poser...bc you will, your tryin to make a 328 look like a 335 which makes you look cheap or silly bc another 335 will smoke you out...why didnt you add that to your dp and get a 335 to start with woulda been worth the extra money if you wanna do this

i obviously could have gotten a used 335 or an m3 for the price i spent on my new car. i wouldn't get a used car and a new 335 compared to a 328i coupe with tax and license is 10k more fyi

i dont need to worry about my twin turbo's wearing out or breaking down on me. my friend has a 335 its nice and fun when you really need the extra horsepower but if i put my car in sport its like driving the 335

very true...im just saying i can think of a lot more to do if i wanted to blow 2k...doin that will add weight to your car n nothin more performance wise 328s dont need a duel exhaust...all that money for a duel look i just dont get it is all i was saying and i hope the op isnt doing it to pass as a 335 bc that i totally dont agree with

but like u said u wanna throw on pink rims throw em on...but i think that would be a better investment then the whole duel exhaust conversion

PS I wasn't directing that at Chris or anyone in particular for that matter, more so towards the 335 owners that are notorious for trolling on the N/A forum.
