Gave my new 335d a good clean yesterday

Gave the car a first proper detail today. Started with snowfoam then rinse. 2 bucket wash then dried off. Then gave it a coat of matte quick detail. Finished with 2 coats of matte specific wax from swissvax. Very happy with the results. It looks stunning in the sunlight. Will try and attach a few pics.

Looks mint, real 1 off your car.

You doing anything else to it mod/maintence wise?

nice 1 for not letting the mileage put you off. I remember seeing the ad and thinking it's had everything done, turbos etc, some1 is going to get a cracking car.

Nothing major planned for it at the moment. New tyres are going on soon at the rear as it likes to eat them lol. Then I might look for a kidney grille with the m stripes as mine has got the sticker ones and they keep peeling off. Would love to update to the later idrive as well, but heard that can be a pain in the ass to do

It's a mod I'd like as well but the £500-750 to get 1 then fitting and coding on top it's probably a grand all in.

I'm doing mine when the CCC fails hopefully it won't any time soon.

I've just ordered the carbon splitters for the front bumper on my e91.

For the outside of mine that's it done I think.

There's a few things inside like the trim and Defo getting the steering wheel done in alcantara.

The money we spend on cars we must all be insane! Lol

I know it's a tad addictive spending money on cars. The steering wheel on mine was recently retrimmed and thickened up so that doesn't need doing on mine lol. Was thinking of some new wheels later on in the year. But not sure what will suit it really

Looks good. Very unique.

CIC upgrade is definitely worth it personally speaking. It's just so much better.

Like it. Definitely not going to see another one driving past.

Some spacers would improve the look I think, maybe 10mm all round to fill the arches a bit more.

Yes the front and rear lights are completely custom, the front angel eyes change colour on a remote control lol. Every bulb in the car is LED, i think the previous owner spent 2k plus just on the lights.

How are the rear lights done? Are they complete new units, or red tape, red spray etc?

Think they are new units as far as I know. They do look a lot better than the stock ones.
