New owner with some questions

BlackMountainMotorworks · 01-20-2014, 06:19 PM

Hello,

I just bought a 2009 335i sedan with the Sports Package and an M Sport suspension.

Here are my immediate plans, it should be going into the shop (3zero3) right after I take delivery of the car from San Francisco. I've searched around this site quite a bit and it's been really helpful.

Rotiform IND wheels: 19x8.5 et35 and 19x10 et25
Tires: 235/35s and 265/30s
Springs: H&R
Engine: JB4 with the DCIs and the oil catch can.

What else am I forgetting? Any advice for a new owner? The car has 33k miles. 5 or 10mm spacers up front to be flush?

I look forward to learning as much as I can from you folks. I just sold my 2004 R32.

Thank you,
John

Wheels have alot of potential. Lets see a picture of your 335i too. Go Clemson tigers

Tuned 335i in Colorado, surely you'll be wanting a LSD as a priority?

As soon as it's done, nobody wants to see some stock bullshht right

Is a rear sway bar in order? I need to replace the front grill too with some carbon fiber.

I didn't even think about that. Who makes the best one? They can't be cheap either.

Edit: Never mind..about $2700 installed it looks like.

Yeah that LSD cost is big, I'll see what my traction is like at this altitude.

I got a Quaife ATB LSD on my 335i and it was 1100 GBP installed (900GBP for the parts). So wouldn't have thought it would it run to 2700 USD.

Mind you it bolted straight in to mine whereas some models need to be welded in. No doubt that would impact price.

The Quaife is purely mechanical (no clutches) and has a lifetime warranty.

Good luck with your tuning, love your wheel choice - kind of takes me back to rallying's glory days

Thanks, I looked for the right wheels forever.

It looks like 12mm on the front will make a 19x8.5 wheel flush at a 35et.

I just finally took delivery of the car. I am so impressed on every level. The Rotiforms get installed tomorrow, Burger parts probably on Friday.

I'll take some pics tomorrow if the gaps aren't too bad, I think it'll be fine with the M Sport suspension.

Can't wait to see those rims on, congrats...
