Well its my first thread post so hey everyone !
Finally after 2 weeks past the supposed "pick-up date" i finally got my 335i and am absolutely made up with it and the sound it makes

Looking forward to hopefully getting down to some local meets etc on here and participating as i learn more about the car

Here it is



Just ordered some nice black grills and black badges for the car too !

[old grey steve]

Wow that looks very subtle yet really smart it's a perfect colour comboand your right re wanting a set of black grills to replace the std chrome kidneys, but perhaps it might be worth considering some black roundels which I think would really top it off nicely.

Thanks !

I was relieved and made up that it had shadow line trim and not chrome ( i forgot what it had the day after i seen it )and i didn't have to get it wrapped black, so only had to buy the black grills !

Thats what i meant am getting by badge, all the original blue and white ones shall just be all black soon. So now i know the proper word is roundels

Very nice. Love the colour...I am a bit biased though. I have same colour, same wheels, same engine but mine is an E93.

Did you get manual or auto? Any toys? Leather?

[tarux]

what the name of the exterior color? it's seem not the sparkling graphic.

Manual with black Leather, erm it has rear window sun blind, which is about the only toy i can really think of really, looking at getting CIC retrofitted soon if i can be bothered to go all the way down London ways to get it done, as i'm starting to miss the screen i had in my previous 1 series.

I basically walked into BMW the day the previous owner brought it in to sell and i said I'd have it there and then so never really paid attention to what it did or didn't have on it haha

Looks good. Enjoy.

[gaza01]

Very nice. Sparkling graphite has so much character and appears different depending upon the lighting

[SpaceGreyOnBlack]

Gorgeous! Happy Modding

[themanthatcan]

Are they Smoked/Shadow chrome wheels? If so then when you get your black grilles fitted it will look identical to mine

Glad you're enjoying your car though buddy. I'm away with work for 3 weeks and missing mine massively..can't wait to drive it again

[col2611]

Idrive is a must, I want to upgrade my ccc eventually, I've been following makkan fitting the NBT which looks good.

I've been on the fence with black grills for mine, I can't decide if they suit sparkling graphite or not. You will have to upload some before & after shots when yours arrive.

Also are your wheels a different colour? Mine are much more silver

[Jdouglas10]

Lovely car mate, im also biased as its almost identicle to mine, same wheels aswell i debated black grills, but ended up going for graphite sorrounds & black inserts, food for thought.....

[uce92i]

looking good, can't wait to see what you do to it next

3 weeks ouch ! my 7 days free insurance runs out 5 days before my renewal kicks in ( insurance wanted an extra £174 for the car switch for 5 days ) so its going to be sitting on the drive for 5 long days god help me.

Not to sure about the wheels but they did have a sort of smoky look to them but i'll get a better look and picture once cleaned today !

That looks good man i never thought of getting matching surrounds, hmm maybe a trip to halfords for some paint and i can experiment with the chrome ones for fun

[Kerr]

I'm not sure if it is the angle, or the shade of the wheels, but I thought the rear wheels looked a bit like front wheels.

I'd image it was one of the above but it wouldn't be the first time we've seen that.

What size of tyres are on the back?

I'm new to this so what do you mean the rear looks like a front wheel :P Please explain ?

I shall get dressed and have a look for you now

Edit: rear - 255/30R19/91Y Front - 225/35R19/88Y

Hope that's the info you wanted

check this out! purely aesthetics, I know yours isn't space grey but similar color. i'm trying to either get this or the csl lowkick from JL or VRS for my e92 spacegrey

Looks nice ! i wanted the csl trunk but its so god dam expensive for what it is and even more painted

I was thinking maybe just the typical M3 one everyone else seems to get

if it looks nice, it looks nice! might just get the m3 one just to not have to worry about painting it and fitment issues. But if I can find a lightly used CSL trunk off forums in spacegrey for a good price, I will buy the CSL trunk in a heartbeat

That's fine then. They are right.

The rear wheels are deeper. The angle of the photo and the colour of the wheels mask that.

We've seen people sold cars with 4 front wheels or one guy that had the rears on one side and the fronts on the other. That would have been a good roundabout setup.

Welcome mate, lovely looking car.

Sounds fine to me. Rear wheels are wider than the fronts
