Original Post:
Just wanted to share my first BMW that I picked up a few weeks back, '09 E92 335i. Now has around 53K miles on her. Previous cars owned are '90 240SX, '95 Integra GSR, '00 Impreza 2.5RS Coupe, '02 RSX Type-S, '07 350Z, '12 370Z w/Sport Package, '14 Focus ST. No emissions in my county, so catless DP and exhaust are likely next. Then FMIC and tune. Enjoy.

At the dealership...

Back home that evening after a few hour drive from Charlotte to Atlanta...

How she sits now...

Nice car, good choice for wheels, looks great! Welcome.

Mezzy113 · 05-28-2015, 12:58 PM

Very nice! Love the interior and the rims. I have some APEX PS-7s and they look very similar so I know pics don't do them justice. They look so much more aggressive in person. Welcome!

07e90335i · 05-28-2015, 01:04 PM

Beautiful car, was personally looking for a White/coral red myself. Couldn't find one to meet my liking but yours is in beautiful condition. Awesome wheels too!!

Johnny Boost · 05-28-2015, 01:05 PM

Great choice OP. And those wheels look great. I'm not sure why it came with 328 wheels.

alcohologist · 05-28-2015, 01:07 PM

thats a beauty..Love those wheels

datbimmer · 05-28-2015, 01:09 PM

Wow coral red without sport package...

Wow that is interesting. Sport wheel but seats are not sports.
Great color combo though. Nice car OP.

ThugzZ BunnY · 05-28-2015, 03:35 PM

you should get sport seats ASAP.

mike@x-ph.com · 05-28-2015, 03:42 PM

Beautiful car. I would start with a tune though

335iAP · 05-28-2015, 03:59 PM

I know most people disagree but I found the regular seats wayyy more comfortable than the sport seats, which hurt my back. But I deal with it.

DF · 05-28-2015, 10:04 PM

I generally hate white. And black wheels. But a white car with back wheels and a coral red interior? Yep. Hangs together perfectly

Dude, I completely agree with you! The sports seats kill my back.

335xs2dinan · 05-28-2015, 10:22 PM

lol, no way sport seats are way better and more adjustable...

how is it possible to get an e92 without sport seats anyway?

Chromey · 05-28-2015, 10:47 PM

Crazy how a set of wheels changes the car , very nice OP.. Enjoy.. But I agree get a tune and intake first... Exhaust is last on the list as its only really has one purpose and that's sound no real gains.. The tune will make you say wow... Huge difference . Cobb or jb4 I recommend for ease and popularity. Have fun

Great color combo though. Nice car OP.

All RWD E92s have sport suspension and sport wheel standard. Only the seats were optional.

Very nice car op, congratulations.

Your car is not one bit lowered. It's original as they come.

Twin_Snails · 05-29-2015, 01:58 AM

Your car looks great ! I also like your wheels very much.

bimmette · 05-29-2015, 02:05 AM

Welcome to the forum and congrats! Looks good! Much better wheels

thkfast · 05-29-2015, 02:13 AM

I agree, what an improvement those wheels made!

Nice color combo too BTW

Nar · 05-29-2015, 03:47 AM

Very clean car, love that red interior. Good choice on the transmission too!

Welcome to the family!

KNS · 05-29-2015, 08:09 AM

Just curious - You didn't own the Focus ST very long. What did you like, not like about it.

ikenjoku7 · 05-29-2015, 09:36 AM

What kind of wheels are those?
