First Post Just bought a 335i

Hey guys, Just bought a used 335i, Space grey, red interior.

Took it up to the mountains over the new year and I am absolutely in love.

Now time to change it up and make it my own.

Any recommendations it is bone stock...

The baby is in Bob Smith BMW, getting it checked up and the waste gate definitely needs a fix. So i am in a Fiat 500 for the time being.

This is the old car...
Couple things on the car were:
FMIC
GIAC Chip
KW V3
Swaybars etc etc.



now its time for the BMW I will post pics when I get it back.

at BMW having them swap some stuff under CPO, the wastegates were making noises so my friends at the local dealer didn't like it, well neither did I, and after taking it in, BOTH TURBOS FAILED!!!! OMG. New turbos on the way now!

Some picks of the car, they are not good photos but the will do.















I guess its time for new turbos and new manifold... didnt get to talk to them much, was wondering what the new manifold is for...

My suggestion since you are already familar with GIAC..is do GIAC stg2, downpipes, intake, exhaust,FMIC and you will be floored..I had the exact same car with this setup and it was just amazing. No error codes, tuner codes whatsoever.

The only sucky thing with GIAC is there is zero resale value..COBB is also another good tune that everyone seems to like..

How many miles are on the car? Was the car ever modded? I have an 07 with 32k and have had zero problems since new. Just curious what was the cause.

Did they replace the complete turbo assemblies or did they pull the turbos and just replaced the wastegate actuators with the updated units per the BMW Service Bulletin? The part numbers on the service order will give the details.
