My E92 335xi Build Thread - Lots of Pics

The metallic wrap in Jamil's car looks spot on, if he hadn't mentioned him doing it himself, I would have thought it was factory! It looks amazing. Fits the rest of the car well. Not race car CF, but also not wanna-be Bentley wood trim!
Jamil, I'll be uploading photo's of your car from the KW-V1 install we did shortly!

Installing Jamil's front KW-V1's
Front KW-V1's in. We ran into a few issues due to his being the X-drive model, and not RWD. The front axles didn't let you drop the front suspension far enough down to just pull everything out, it required alot of wrestling. (note, that off white color on his fender is masking tape) And Jamil in the Red hoodie.
Side shot of the KW-V1's in the front, starting the rears now!
After coming back from Harbor Freight for a 21mm deep socket, we realized my driveway looked like BMTrouble-U central. (E28 was mid process of new exhaust)
KW-V1's in the rear (Lowered the front more after this photo, and my driveway is all sorts of wavy)
Jamil caught the whole, lower it as much as possible. He originally told me he wanted to just "lower it a little bit, get rid of the X-drive's 4x4 status". We got the front coil overs on, and he wanted the front about 4 threads off the bottom, comes back to do the rears, and the rear's are at their lowest setting, he decided to lower the front coils even more!
Good to see you like the new look Jamil! Glad I could help!

I like all the good looking E92s that are popping up on the forum.

Hahaha, true story. Def didn't think I'd go down that far, but you called it right from the beginning. I actually raised the rear up by 1/4" or so, I wanted to lift a tad more, but the stupid top mount would spin with the adjusting ring so I clamped from the bottom and 1/4 was as high as I could go, but I think it looks aiight.
Thanks again for your help. You're the fuckin' man.

Hey Jamil dewd. You should lemme borrow that go-pro for a bit.
And the software for it if it requires it! Gunna need your mic as well!if you have a computer than can read SD cards, you're golden pony boy. (or you can just read what's on the card by plugging it on when turned on with the usb cable)
you can use whatever free video "editing" software came on your computer to just chop clips together as well.
If you want to get into adjusting color/audio and enhance your clips download GoPro Cineform Studio, it's free-ninety-free on their website
