Me and My New 2010 E92 335i

335BBS · 02-04-2013, 11:55 AM

Great color! Try some spacers. I put 10s on the rear with 19"BBS et35 and it was perfect

Beautiful car and I personally think you bought the best year for the 335i. LCI and last year of the N54

Enjoy!

ThAt was a good purchase on a well optioned car. Wouldn't change a thing except maybe spacers in the rear and possibly some non- RFT. Well done sir well done.

KwlAznKid · 02-04-2013, 03:12 PM

CONGRATS and yes stock suspension

TopBack_Mack · 02-04-2013, 03:49 PM

Nice pick up...patience is a virtue, it took me a few months before I found the right car too but I couldn't be happier. Congrats..

GI335I · 02-04-2013, 03:52 PM

congrats, great color.

mxa121 · 02-04-2013, 06:16 PM

Thank you all. Too kind too kind.

Mods
For now i will probably leave it alone. I only plan to put on new bmw emblems all over. The black ones do not look great.

LCI
I love the nav screen and it works smoothly and is easy to operate. Its so nice to change the radio and other features with the idrive set up. The graphics in the vehicle info part are impressive.

Exhaust
I really like the way it sounds. At idle its ok, but after that it sounds awesome. Easily adds 1 0 mental horsepower.

The blue, the bluuueee

The background:
So I have been looking to get a BMW for a couple of years now. I drove a Dodge Ram with a Hemi daily and was tired of large size and the poor ride/handling. I decided a car was the way to go, and could only get excited over the BMW looks/performance. I never really liked the muscle cars. I really got interested into the E90 platform because of the M3 with that wonderful V8. Eventually, I realized the price of admission was too high for one of those, but I could go for a 335i/328i and still get a great car.

The search:
I have spent too many hours watching autotrader and craigslist and the forums looking for the right car to plop down cash for. I HAD to have MT, M Sport, Coupe, Leather, and the Color combo had to be just right. So, the search took quite a while. Just a week ago, I decided on what I thought was the right car.

The car:
2010 Le Mans Blue E92 335i M-Sport with Black Leather - My ideal car
Premium and Cold Weather Packages.
It has the Power Pack Kit.
It has the Performance Exhaust.
It has Black Kidney Grills.
It also has some scoops behind the kidneys to guide air into the intake.

The Drive:
As soon as I purchased this car I drove it 250 miles home. I got to experience dry weather and rain on both highway and back roads in the light and the dark - All on the first day.

Let me just say that I absolutely love this car! It handles great, looks great, has a great motor, sounds great, and I just love everything about it right now.

The Motor:
I originally test drove a stock N55 at the dealer and comparatively, the N54 that I have is missing some bottom end. It felt like the N55 just had better power below 3k RPM. However, the way my car is configured, after 3k RPM it leaves the stock N55 in outright pull and screams to red line. The power and sound it makes with the PPK and PE is amazing! So happy I found a car with these things already installed.

The Suspension:
The suspension is quite firm, but I like it. It still absorbs bumps very nicely while providing stiffness and little roll in the corners. Maybe it is just me, but how does the wheel gap look on my car? Stock suspension?

The Handling:
It handles great. I like the weighted steering and it turns on a dime. The chassis flows through turns never getting upset by small bumps. The car also handles wet roads very well, without feeling disconnected through small puddles.

I am so happy to finally have this car, it has been my dream for a few years now. Thanks for all of the input on this site, as I used it heavily in researching these cars and learning more about them.

Now I will go

Congrats!!!!

Very nice pick up bud! Le Mans Blue is my fav right after AW. I commend you on taking the time to find exactly what you wanted. From start to finish it took me about 9 months from initial research to finding the exact one I wanted and I absolutely enjoy driving it everyday.

Nice job on the PPK and PE! Thats something I wish mine came with! Care to give any pricing details? If not no worries.

Great car and enjoy!

P.S. Since mine it a duplicate of yours and you mentioned the stance I'll share my opinion. I wouldn't lower mine, I think the back height is perfect. The only thing I'd considered are lowering perches on the front. I've seen another 335 with them and it looks perfect, I think its about 1/2" lowering in the front. I'm not sure if it affects the handling or not though.
