335D Newbie!

SelSol · 02-01-2011, 01:56 PM

Hi all,

Been ordered by David, apparently you lot are the place to be for E9X malarky!

Put my deposit down today for a 335D SE, Montego Blue, Black Dakota, I-drive

First up, a rear spoiler, can anyone advise on an M3 style lip one?

briers · 02-01-2011, 02:42 PM

Welcome

Lovely mate, like that blue myself and you have the nicest wheels for the coupe

Yes put the m3 lip on it, not that much to fit at all. A nice remap and maybe the front aero kit like : http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=23186

Will look the bollocks

davyk31 · 02-01-2011, 03:19 PM

Exact same colour as my car. I fitted the M3 boot lip spoiler which is great. I also got the aero front as mentioned above, thats the best thing I did to my car, makes the front look great.

Not that keen on the chrome round the windows, mine has black shadowline, do a search on here there are easyish ways to change it.

Welcome to E90post, fantastic choice of Automobile. Montego does look great in the flesh and you also have the finest BMW wheel to grace a 3series IMHO!

What sort of mileage does she have and what plans do you have in store for her?!

SelSol · 02-01-2011, 03:52 PM

A piffling 39k, so nicely run in, no real plans for it tbh! With it coming straight from a BMW stealer I don't want to mess about with it mechanically or do anything that would invalidate the warranty.

Oddly enough, I was all lined up to buy a damn near identical one, same colour, price, spec, but with 51k! That got sold out from under me, and within the hour, this one appeared! That car had the shadowline trim and cream leather, but I can't say I'm that concerned either way. I've got the M-sport bits I'm interested in (namely the seats and suspension) and its got normal tyres (non-RFT's) coupled with the i-drive.

Only bit I'm not sure about is the stereo, I've brought this car blind (hence why I paid dealer prices) and I cant say if it has the standard set up, or the logic 7 one. If it helps, the dealer lists it as "bluetooth + telematics, BMW assist, Navigation System - Professional, SA3 pricing rule for Voice Command". So if anyone can gleen it from that then please let me know!

David has already linked me the Alpine sub upgrade, so that might make an appearance!

Having said all that, I've just brought the M3 lip spoiler from SSDD!

willhollin · 02-01-2011, 03:56 PM

Welcome. and congrats on your "Special Edition" Coupe!

Did you say the car came from a main dealer with non-RFT tyres on? Which dealer was it?

willhollin · 02-01-2011, 03:56 PM

And who's David????

Its Coopers, in Croydon. At least, I'm pretty sure he said they weren't RFT's, although I could be mistaken. Are stealers not supposed to fit regular tyres?

Lovely car mate. Re: The spoiler I'd recommend you give SSDD Automotive a call who can do you the spoiler either in carbon fiber or painted body colour. Good place, fantastic service (as testified by MANY on here) and a top notch guy. Teddy is your man.

I want a 335d

Oh and welcome to the site
