<![CDATA[Suspenceful's New Daily Driver - Build Thread!?]]>UPDATE: I sold this car shortly after buying it and replaced it with a different 335i.

I'll continue to update this thread with my new car, which starts this post from October 9:

--------------------------------

Well, I finally struck gold. After driving a combined 15 hours looking at 4 different cars, I found one right across town.

I knew I was being picky with my budget and required options, but I'm glad I held out. As funny as it is, this might be the nicest car I've ever owned.

Meet my new 2007 335i. I bought it from the original owner. No accidents, came with both keys and all maintenance records since new. It's never seen winter, so it's 100% rust free. Only has 83k miles and has just about every option you could get for the year. Not only that, but I think I got an absolute steal on it!

  • Sport Package
    • Bolstered sport seats
    • 18" sport wheels
    • Higher speed limiter
  • Cold Weather Package
    • Heated seats
    • Heated mirrors and keylocks
    • Headlight washers
    • Folding rear seats
  • Premium Package
    • Universal garage-door opener
    • Auto-dimming exterior mirrors
    • Auto-dimming rearview mirror
    • Lumbar seat support
    • Digital compass on rearviewmirror
    • BMW Assist voice command
    • Bluetooth
  • Lighting Package
  • Comfort Access keyless entry and start
  • iDrive with N****avigation
  • Satellite radio
  • Logic7 sound system
  • Sunroof

It's also the first automatic BMW I've had out of the 8 I've owned. Feels good to be back behind the wheel of something boosted again. I'm so at home with these N54s, it's gonna be hard not to tune it. I'll probably do the typical tint, drop, wheels... but we'll see. I couldn't help but share, stay tuned!

I have those same wheels on my e90 for my winter set up.  They look better on your car.  I don't like the way they look on mine.

They're M3 offsets, maybe that's why? 18x8" ET20 all around, they definitely rub in front with me being lowered so much.

Nice snow shots as expected!

great shots - is that in Appleton that you got that much snow already??? we haven't seen anything yet down in my neck of the woods 

Believe it or not, I took these with my iPhone lol.

This was in Escanaba, Michigan over the weekend. Appleton got a light dusting so far.

Nope, just broke one trying to put it in the wrong hole.

Apparently the rear wheels have a slightly larger cap than the fronts, and I tried putting a big cap in a small hole. Never works out.

You heard it here first folks. Life lessons with Mr. Spence

KaiserRolls said:

What alignment specs did you go with after lowering?

I have a printout at home and don't recall the exact specifics. But everything is evened out and in the green, except for camber. The front is at ~1.6* and the rear is at ~2.2* (if my memory serves me correctly).

Lost a center cap already?

Wheels make or break a car. Looks damn good for daily duty.

Let us know what you think long term, I kind of want to try coilovers next spring

Will do, so far so good. They're a little more stiff than stock, but the car feels much better around corners. I'm happy with them.

New wheels went on last night.

Was it the buy 3 get 1 free from ECS?  My brother in law bought some 18's on my account for $380 shipped!  For the pricing they had it was totally worth it!

Something like that. For the 19s it was $440 shipped I think. I forgot that you had the in at ECS, I should've asked you first!
