Welcome to e90posthk.

I suggest you to change your order to 2010 E92 335i LCI la. They are doing promotion now.

1. Suspension/Coilcover to low down your car
2. 19 wheels but pls use front 225/35/19 and rear 255/30/19, otherwise you car will have slow response.
3. Body kit such as M tech kit or other just "styish" model
4. Change the whole audio system - personal preference
5. Do a good car coating or wax to protect the paintwork
6. BMS power box - must install for N52/53 engine
7. Ignition coil - okada plasma direct

I have no glue about the 335 promotion but quite frankly, 323 is a bit under-power in HK's geograhical environment with lots of up hills, slopes and most importantly, you need the power to react sudden stop traffic or changing lane/s.......with a set of 19" wheels, you car is just sluggish like a Toyota Corolla (exggerate a bit though).....unless/oherwise, you are very city drive driver just use the car from Happy Valley to Causeway Bay back and forth everyday.....I'm not asking you to change the order but think twice before you purchased the vehicle and then, blaming the power issue with only 3-4 months usage......that's very bad...

Hey Bro,

Not really poisoning him but instead, just a token of advice especially some live examples in our forum members who regreted of his (seldom her so far) few months old 323 which windup putting more $$ to mod the car in squeezing most cream from the cookie jar whereas, getting fed up......not even mentioned, the real poisoned victim Ken Ken

who already bought the N54 335 E92 after tried my ride which felt no interest on his 323 E92 anymore!!! I feel bad whereas, that performance poison has spreaded all through his body

.....counting for the days when our E92 320 club being formed!!

Holy cow.....that's not fair, Bro

!! As what our Senior citizens says, without investment fm the past, there won't be a refreshing you today!! That kind of spending is unavoidable....let's claim it back from our invisible God some day!!

I'm ok tmw....give me a call so that, I can go there to check out yr modding exercise!! I'm well readiness for yr poisoning.....that's life while it goes around and then, comes around

kenken · 12-10-2010, 12:08 AM

Its two really different cars and depends on what you want!
IMHO 323 is adequate for HK city driving you won’t be able to unleash the full potential in our ever so jam roads! The only time is when you “fly” with friends that driving more powerful cars that you find yourself behind.
But you need to consider the pro and con:
335
Better resale value after you had enough with it
Better power delivery, more mod friendly
Bad fuel consumption – almost 1k V power and last around 340km or so
323
Better fuel consumption and cheaper to maintain – only 700 V power
Cheaper mods but not too many choices

Hey Bro.....that kind of action only happened in yr dream

As of yr not drivable 335, I'm anxious to take a deep look for yr VIP style of mod....by the way, Terry just sent me email telling me he saved one G4 board for me, it is on its way to my office!! I'll let you have a try after installed upon I learnt the tricks of G4!! Trust me, it is a totally different ball game or simply a different tuning board whilst, I cannot use my laptop to change the setting like the way I'm doing now....Some testers recorded 420whp on Mahe Dyno & super smooth..with our 100 ron gas, we can use the mild Race map as a starter...will see

!! Waiting & learning are also part of the fun indeed!

superdx · 12-10-2010, 11:48 AM

Never really needed the power in HK, but in North America I wouldn't buy anything with under 250 horses under the hood

I spend most of my day in traffic from Wan Chai, Admiralty, Quarry Bay, Lai Chi Kok and Central... I can tell you that if I had a 335i I'd need to be pissing money for gas!

eddysuen · 12-10-2010, 09:31 PM

I tried both 323i and 325i, there is a difference, but not significant for me to spend another 100K.

If I prusuit for horse power, then I will go for 330/335.

Personally, I prefer to have 18 inch forge wheel instead of 19.

Hey...it depends!! I used to hv same thought like you when I migrated back fm the States, after a while, it is not applicable to my situation when I'm living in an area with lots uphill + slopes, little like canyon in N.America. Also, my job is heavily involving US/EU biz which most of the time has to stay in the office till mid night..if I drive a 323, I will get bump by those midnight maniac drivers! Thus, having the extra power down the pedal for me (Only in my case) is actually self protection

Cool....our reminder is somwwhat friendly, since you realize what you needed, this is the crucial point!! Instead of instaling the tires by max width, a size or 2 smaller can also help reduce the power lost on wheels!

eddysuen · 12-13-2010, 10:05 PM

Modification plan
1. ADV7.1 forged 19" wheel(8kg)
2. K&N drop in filter
3. Aero kit

For my own point of view, it really doesn't matter if the aero kit is authentic or not..but fitment is something I concerned the most especially there are some authentic kits fitment even worst than copied kits.....then, why bother to pay premium price in supporting their joking R&D!!

ADV FTW

!!!!
where you going to order yours? i am oso interested if you can good price....

Actually why not trying removing 1 layer of the drop in filter? there is 2 layers 1 is the filter paper to filter out sand and dust another one is the acutal filter..... remove the outer layer one first and see if it improved....
