This looks real good! What coilovers are those?
SoloWerks, apparently it was a couple guys that split off from KW and started their own gig. They have really good reviews so I figured I would give them a go.

Looks good! The beauty bar in the lower grill drove me nuts so I ended up replacing all of it with black plastic gutter mesh. Did you paint the window trim yourself or did it come with the shadowline?

It came that way, which was nice.
I don't mind the bars in the grill, but they sure do look better black. -
Winter beater ft. Fatbike!

Well it wasn't an April fools joke, but I have changed it up once again!
I sold my 328 to a friend and picked up the fastest n54 in the world (and Wisconsin!)
I already started playing....
Replaced the "carbon fiber" grills with some matte black units, and test fitted a bit of a lip splitter type deal. The lower lip add on hides the bottom edge of the bumper which has some missing paint.
It's been fantastic to drive so far, and I look forward to more miles and more playing!

Fastest*, not the best.

You're so right, I'm still waking up lol.

I like what you've done so far!

Listen to father Pat. Father Pat knows best.....
With the impending snowpacalypse today I put the snows on last night. Chances are there will have been no need for this, but I slept better knowing that I would stand some chance at driving. Pat had put the summers on before I picked up the car, but questioned me when I asked for that. It was largely due to the fear of not fitting the summers in the car!
Exhaust leak is getting worse, seems to be coming from the connection where the down pipes meet the mid section of the exhaust. Ordering a gasket for that today.

Oil changed at about 96,500
Exhaust had a pretty wicked leak at the front, so I ordered new downpipe gaskets. I think I see where it was leaking....
Much quieter up front with those replaced, and the cabin doesn't reek like exhaust. It's the little things.
Front bumper lowers were pretty bad, and Jake ended up not putting these little extension guys on the 335 sedan before selling it, so I picked them up.
I think they do a good job of covering beaten up bumper edges, and they don't look too shabby.
The paint on them is quite fresh, so it looks a little bit off in terms of paint match in the photo, but it is much less noticeable in person.
Rear hitch receiver was delivered Friday, so it's time to make this thing a bike taxi.

So you’re the mysterious 335 buyer!? That’s awesome! So now this makes sense, that was me following you in the i3 the other day. I saw a silver e90 (with wheels that looked just like yours) and figured it was you in your 328, but then I saw it was a 335 and got all sorts of confused.

I had just replaced one of those gaskets in November! I like the splitters!

Haha, so it was you! The 328 went to a friend, and I decided to live the twin turbo life. It's been a good life so far.

Well I sure hope it was the other one! If it keeps chewing them up (jake mentioned it was typical) I may make the poor decision of putting a VSRF system on it.....
That or MLS exhaust gaskets if I can find them.
Thank you for using proper hardware on the downpipes btw -

Thank you for using proper hardware on the downpipes btwI don't see how putting a VRSF exhaust on it would lessen your chances of blowing out gaskets, lol.

By reducing exhaust back pressure you will lessen the chance of exploiting a weak spot in the exhaust. Pressure is the resistance to flow
Think of a thin spot in a garden hose, if you plug the end it will bulge at the thin spot (potentially burst), but if you let water flow out it will decrease the bulge and will be much less likely to burst there.
