Jlevi SW | Project 335i: The Progression from Birth (E92 Content!)
Greetings!
As many of you have already read, we recently had the pleasure of experiencing the BMW European Delivery Program on a beautiful new 335i: We have decided that because the 335 shares the same motor as the 135, it would be valuable to post our progress thread on 1Addicts, as we build up the motor of this car. In this thread, we will be documenting the progress of the car. You can check here for regular updates, installation photos, and information about this car and it's development. We hope you will subscribe and share our excitement during this build-up! Don't blink... this car will be done before you know it! Regards JL |

So, to start at the beginning, here are some photos from the day we picked the car up at the Welt (June 7th), as well as some photos from places in Germany, Switzerland, and Southern France

The car has arrived at Long Beach BMW! We're going to pick it up tomorrow, 08/08/08. Big thanks to Will Shaw!
And... before you guys get bored of stock 335i photos, here are some quick teasers. First we will be upgrading the brakes, wheels, suspension, and drivetrain before any aerodynamic or cosmetic upgrades are installed... Unfortunately all the good stuff is boxed up, but here is what a 335i in a box looks like ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The wheels and tires are already waiting at Sonic MS in Mountain View, our close friends, business associates, and recommended installation facility. Looking forward to working with these guys over the weekend to transform this already quick car into an absolute beast! More to come tomorrow... JL |

Updates:
The car was picked up on Friday from Long Beach BMW and driven home. By Saturday, we had it up on the dyno. We clocked in at 238RWHP for the baseline (Dyno sheet and photos to follow tomorrow), which is pretty respectable. Then, we headed out to Sonic MS, and installed the following: -Active AutoWerke Blow-Off Valve -Active AutoWerke Catback Exhaust -Active AutoWerke Processor (This thing rips!) -Enkreuz H8R 20" -NITTO Invo Tires -KW V2 Coilover Suspension -Brembo 380mm 6 piston front braking system -Brembo 345mm 4 piston rear braking system -Matte Black Grilles -Vorsteiner License plate frame -"Stage 3" ( :rofl: ) fender roll Here are 4 photos. More coming soon... with Videos! ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Many more photos coming soon guys, don't worry! HUGE Thanks to: -NITTO Tires (Sponsor) -Jerome at Active AutoWerke (Sponsor) -Johnny at Enkreuz Wheels (Sponsor) -Justin Zetterlund (Photographer - PM us for contact info!) -Darwin, Al, Barrett, and Justin at Sonic MS. We wouldn't take our car anywhere else. -Andrew (Phatbam) for saving us in a pinch! Thanks for looking, guys! But stay tuned... this car isn't even half way done... JL |

Here are a few more. Obviously we can only add so many photos per post, and can only upload so many photos at a time... so we are spacing them out little by little. Gotta keep you guys on your toes...
