If only that had bigger tyres!

I like those alloys but the E92 always looked a bit daft when slim rims with slim tyres were attached! The shape just isn't muscular enough!

I'm joking with you. Well I'm not, but my opinion on this is completely biased so I wouldnt worry

Yh I know

My dad much prefers the e39, and I'm a big fan of them too, wouldn't be surprised if he bought an f10 in the next couple of years.

My 335i, had it since around Easter, 4th beemer, mildly tuned up, love it to bits, a far cry from the E46 320cd it replaced.

note, it's not exactly clean in these pics, every time the thing is gleaming, it's normally taken out for a drive and not for photos, I need to get round to that in the spring!

And the winter wheels:

Gaygle · 3 Jan 2012 at 13:14

Lovely ^^ (the 335i). Not sure on the tints though :/

What colour interior? iDrive? Manual/automatic? Cost? Got anything planned for it?

I have recently taken the bold step or ordering an M3 lip spoiler for mine - they really complete the back end.

Example:

Love the car. But my God those wheels are horrific :eek:

. They just look...wrong/odd? I think the tyres look too stretched over them, maybe?

Gaygle, thanks for the comments

The tints were a factory option so are very high quality, pics make it look darker than it actually is in RL.

Spec wise, it's got a fair amount of options. I really wanted a manual one, most seem to be autos, so I held out for that. It's got the widescreen satnav / iDrive setup and usual toys inside, black leather (kinda wanted red, but since I wanted a manual and was being fussy about the other extras I settled on black)

Mods wise, it's got black front grills, debadged rear, carbon fibre badges, EBC red stuff pads all round, Carbon Fibre rear diffuser, JB4 tuning kit (variable maps controlled from the steering wheel) and I've taken it to crail and hit a 12.7 seconds 1/4 mile, which I'm pretty chuffed with.

Future plans are a meth kit, and uprated downpipe.

Yours looks ace, the lip spoiler does help set off the rear nicely! /edit, the white one isn't yours lol! but the spoiler is nice, need to get one.
