This might seem kinda weird....Well, I had this in order and it just arrived , I just didn't think my guy at the shop would have it done in a minute??????? He wanted to see it on the car as fast as possible, more than me, he is waiting for one too....he had it done in hours....:D Its a Good thing having friends w' body shops...well Hope you Like them.

FORK!!!
that looks sooooo nice!
your gonna get alot out of this 3 ill tell you know.....

I'm about to place an order on the Xede Stand alone unit from www.vishutuning.com they have a kit that will bring the power to 380-400Hp (335HP at the wheels), and I guess torque figures at the same or higher rating ( See Dyno chart attachment ) for only $1200 , I Will def max it out on Performance figures up to a certain point, after all is my everyday driver and will be sticking with me for a Long Long time, BUT Def i will wait to see how the new M3 Will Rank in power and make sure to top it by few extra of whatever that M will be, but hey, it's all talk now. I will be posting upgrades.

wow ! u just got the car !! and already done something !! keep it up :cool:

wow, those performance mods sounds good, but keep the things up to date with the performance, as the car cant handle that much power with stock stuff...parts will departure from the car, my dads BMW 330CI was just missing a whole of the engine...and it still runs...how weird, good luck with the car, and keep it clean...:p

Hmmmmm.......VishuTuning.com has contacted BMW and spoke w' the engineers, they said that the Frame, 335i, its 45% more stiffer than the new 3 series sedans which are already 15% more stiffer than the mighty E46 M3, They said the 335i can handle up to 550HP-600HP and still Maintain its driveability with no problems

oh thats good, because the E46 wasnt similar to that...hope you have good experiences smoking new M3s....:p

600bhp.. damn! Thats good..

my dad likes the new E92, but his got something against turbos, his old turbo use to give him the *****s, so he might buy a 328i 6MT coupe, or wait to see what other do, but i think he'll get the 328i E92, cos' he cant wait to drive one!

What can i say, well even know they say it can support 600HP, that's kinda extreme for me, But i will Def go Near 500HP....Tell your Dad to test drive it before getting the 328, its only few grand extra, i think $4000 over the 328i, this thing is NOTHING like past turbos, it Feels nothing like a turbo engine, it reminds me more of my cousins Mustang GT V8 Punch, there is no Lag of the turbos whatsoever....its just smooth linear power....You've got 300 pounds of torque as early as 1400 RPM's...Here are the stats of the engine:

Its not the price his worried about, its the turbo reliability, im trying to convince him, maybe i can change his mind, keep me updated with mods.

I hear you, well for reliability, i guess his gonna have to wait couple months and see, so far the car is solid and from "e90post" everyone tells me problems "0" even couple guys who have the Xede and Cat Backs, No SVC ENG LIGHTS no reliability issues, if anything they all say that the car drives smoother and burns less gas when driven normal.

ill take a peak at there forum, im on www.e46fanatics.com

we have a e46.. lol.. yeh.. ill take a sneak peak on that forum, thanks!

You are welcome....Good Luck

wowowow thats beautiful... i just saw the 335 coupe the other day... i like your taste ;)

That really looks great. The investment of a rear wing might be wise if you get near 500 bhp - it'll ease up the twitchiness and make it easier to drive. You could also consider lowering the car to make it hug the road better. Anyhow, they are just suggestions. Have fun with that thing.

That looks really cool. And soon with those mods, even cooler! Love the lip though. It just ads what the stock BMW is missing. And it isn't so large that it makes everyone look at you weird, but it is good enough to make people glance at it. When you are done modding, you are going to have one really nice car...ohh i want a BMW 335i...

LOOKS GREAT!!!!

very much like ac schnitzer

thats nudging M3 bracket
you should make your own perosnal M3 but make sure aswell as blowing the power blow the handling aswell
your on the brink of something good her :cool:

Argh, handling is only important in Formula 1 and dog fights. There's nothing like getting to a straight piece of road, bury the right pedal, and hang on for dear life as two gallons of petrol catapult you to the horizon. Lol, anyways, congrats on the new front lip... it looks nice. And good luck with the performance upgrades.

hang on he dont want to be in a 3 series balanced for a little over 200bhp
when hes pulling well over 300bhp!!
why would he do that the point of bimmers is to handle really nicely

wow, that front lip looks good! a very nice job, it makes the front look cool and aggressive!

Got any side shots?

rims looks great !!

what a lovely car :)

thats clean just make sure u don't go ricer on it

I doubt he will.

Man, that looks stunning. I really like the new lip, and overall it adds to a car in a positive way. If I were to purchase a '3 I wouldn't but it in white. I don't think it looks as good as say, silver, or black.

Congrats on the purchase, btw.

man that looks well sweet especially in white. Just one question though, why didn't you opt for the m-sport version as it has a lip similar to this as standard ? just wonderin ...

i like the sound of those power upgrades, also a limited slip diff would go really well with this car.

Doesn't the M-sport upgrade have other things other than the lip? If he only wanted the lip, then there really isn't much of a point in getting a whole option package to get the lip. It'd be a waste of money, to be honest.

wel lthe M package does look nice, but the rims included in that for me is just too ugly, but still, maybe he plans to add non BMW manufactured parts to it later

Well the M-sport had different wheels and a different rear bumper which were not to my liking, Once the M3 is out i will make the rear end/Bumper and Side skirts exact the same, as far as wheels go, I am thinking of the light weight BBS LM 18'' i thought about going 19'' but the 18'' provide something like 0.2 sec better acceleration...! :)

To be honest money aside i wouldn't have mind to wait for the M3, but I am a Turbo-Nut, and after allot or research i found out that the 425HP that the M3 will have could be beaten w' 385 HP of a 335i w' just the "XEDE" ECU by www.vishutuning.com, and trust me, i will wait for about 1-2 years before i head to the 500HP mark, want to see which products will make sense and be reliable for a long run... I have already beat an E46 M3, and a E39 M5, I must say the M5 was hard to beat, I was behind his bumper all the way to 130mph, then from 5th to 6th I got the upper hand, we had a half vehicle length @ 155 for about 1 min then we end it, he gave me the thumbs up and exit Interstate 95 exit 147 to Vero Beach :) So I guess if the new M3 is lighter than the E39 M5 (I bet it would be) and has an additional 25hp, it should be quick enough to get 0-60 in 4.5 sec or so..! The Xede kit that they have now with only an additional Racing cat back ( ($3000.00 total) Does 0-60: 4.1 Sec and 196mph Top........:eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek ::eek: BUT Again, I am Careful like that, i want to wait 1-2 years before I "Void" My warranty by adding mods, even know i am so tempted .........!

Under "FULL TESTS"
They have the a 335i video were the car eclipses past 60MPH in 4.8 sec and they shortly mention of the Last M3 they tested being slower than the 335i

They also have an article where they tested the VISHU 335i w' just the ECU upgrade ($1300.00) the car achieved a 0-60 time in 4.6 w' stock wheels and suspension.

Here is the link to that article:

nice one man, that thing will be an utter beast when u get it modded, good idea keepin the warrenty though.

keep us updated as to how it's goin

well hey, congrats on the new car!! i was actually going to get one myself until i found that E39 sitting right next to it... tempting ughh so i bought the E39 instead lolll

anywhoos, that XEDE ECU you mentioned, the one that says it brings the performance figures to 385-400 at the crank, its a huge power increase for sure, but since BMW fitted it with such TINY turboes to eliminate the turbo lag, those little turboes will easily burn out under hard use like what the chip is giving it.

i dont know for sure, im just guessing, but just be careful not to blow one of those turboes. after that XEDE thing, think of getting some bigger turboes for your beautiful car, they might last longer and have much much much much more potential obviously than your tiny stock turboes.

oh and as for the new M3, youd be able to smoke it anyday once your rides done =) good luck bro
