New 335i Owner

fazi13 · 02-24-2013, 09:38 AM

Hey everyone, I've finally found the right BMW for me and at the right price. After maybe 6 weeks of searching all over CA I found a manual BMW 335i that was black on black!
Previous owner installed the Vishnu PROcede, pod filters, and a louder blow off valve.

(Sorry if some of the pictures are of weird angles, my phone was low on batteries and I couldn't see what I was taking photos of)

Very nice looking car. Good luck for finding a manual trans car too. We were looking here in Cali too never saw this car.

Great, have fun!

Cones were probably white or red to begin? And after 4 hours of practicing I only stall maybe 1 out of 3 tries.. and have a smooth start maybe 1 out of 5 tries.. also for anyone that does have the manual, is it just me or does the clutch seem to get easier to push the farther you push it making it somewhat difficult to smoothly release the clutch? IE: the spring is stiff then becomes soft, so your foot thinks the spring is soft but then gets a sudden BAM from the stiffer spring?

Congrats, clean those cones!

Nice car. But it doesn't need the funky effects in the pics to look good!

I think he was keeping some privacy

I like seeing the painted? Wheels, since I'm thinking of getting done

Turb0Surge · 02-24-2013, 09:33 PM

Lol That's my friends car. I know he was selling it, didn't know he sold it yet. Max is his name. How much did he let you have it for?

Joop · 02-25-2013, 06:01 AM

Good choice

fresh_LA · 02-25-2013, 07:05 AM

Good job holding out for the 6MT!

mazer · 02-25-2013, 01:29 PM

Congrats! BTW, it looks to me like the forward intake plenum is not connected correctly. Front bottom, just off to the right... looks disconnected.

Aventador97 · 02-25-2013, 01:31 PM

Sweet car, I think a carbon fiber trim would complete the look (on the inside). Just my opinion though. Congratulations!

Nice. Definitely need to clean your DCI's and reconnect that intake piping (didn't even know that wasn't a solid piece).

search cdv delete and see what you get. you should do this if it hasnt been done already- makes for much smother engagement...

hmm, didn't even notice that but it doesn't seem to lead anywhere? it looks like its supposed to connect to the factory airbox but now just leads to the cones.
