Hello all, I used to have a E46 M3, but living in Michigan I needed a reliable all season AWD car. Hence, I got a 2008 E92 335xi - picked it up in Munich and also did the Performance Delivery in Spartanburg. It needed some tweaks and after a lot of research and having one of the best BMW dealerships near my house and I think the best technician, we were able to make what I call my "M3xi." Mods include:
KW V3 coilovers - set at midrange
19 in M6 reps with Goodyear F1 Eagles
M3 steering wheel
Dinan stage II software
Dinan oil cooler
GP Thunders
white reflectors
front lip spoiler
M3 rear spoiler
aluminum "racing" pedals
LED and xenon interior lighting
Total on mods was under $11,000 installed and vehicle was European delivery pricing minus $1000. So basically Eurodelivery price plus $10K for allseason driving and atleast M3 performance. I haven't driven a new M3 but 3 technicians that drove this and an M3 state this is faster and handles better. I think they are both cool, this is just more economical and gives better gas mileage and can be driven with more confidence for 4 seasons.
I apologize in advance for the quality of the pictures. It was taken with my Iphone.
