BMW E92 335i - progress thread

[becausephilchow]

Looks great at this height. I'd keep it at this.

This is what I ended up with for now. Really wanted it lower, but the rear wheels rub all the time when I had it 5mm lower. So this will do for now, until I modify my fenders more.

Amen!

Because of the delay with the tires I got impatient and needed something to do, started dyeing some of the parts I bought. This takes a while...



The tail lights had a rather rough surface, so I had to do something with them. Before, midway and after. Still waiting for the last one to arrive.







One more of the Hamanns:

Finally got the tires on. Will adjust the height a little bit tomorrow and get som better pics.

Finished the wheels today. Have to wait until Tuesday to get the tires mounted. A few pics while I'm waiting....

Is it weird that I like the wheels better without center caps?

Yeah, they do look good without caps!

love this car and the direction you are going with it. What are the details on the leather change from black to brown? I am looking to picked up a Sapphire Black Metallic e92 335i in a week or so, very inspirational.

Thank you! First you clean the interior thoroughly and sand them down, apply 3 coats with sponge and then 3 coats with spray. And then spray a sealer on them. You find a lot of information on furnitureclinic.com, where i bought the kit.

Finally finished polishing the last lip, just need to polish the remaining 120 bolts and mount tires.



I also came across some M3-parts today!

I only hearing great things about the Broadway Statics and there ability to well match to stiff springs!

Looking forward to seeing it with the wheels on

Yeah, they really do some magic with the shocks. They don't feel bumpy at all.

Hopefully I'll have tires on early next week. Need to polish the last lip and 120 bolts....

At least i got my centers back from paint. I am sooo happy with the choice of color. BMW Moonstone Silver. Silver with a yellowish/gold effect. Really changes color in different light.

Finally got the car back on the ground. Broadway Static feels amazing and handles so good! Even with 16/24k spring rates they feel very comfortable. Will adjust the height when I get the centers back from paint.

the daily looks sweet.

Thank you. Very satisfied with it, the wheels fit the arches like I want them and still I have good driveability.

wow did I miss something??? are you no longer on bags???

Sold the bags during the winter. I missed coilovers. I was initially going for coilovers with air cups, but it didn't work out...

Changed the water pump and thermostat yesterday. This was a pain in the ass to do with the car on jack stands. Would be much easier to do with the car on a lift. Well, at least it saved me ~$1000 to do it and I got to check a lot of other things. This is what i did:

- Delete error codes, disconnect battery.
- Drain the coolant
- Disconnect all hoses
- Remove water pump and thermostat
- Re-install everything with new alu-bolts.
- Run the automatic "bleed-procedure" (this is genius)
- Check for leaks, and all good.

Need to fint a small oil leak before I can put the car back on the ground.

Hamann centers are off to the painter, hopefully I'll have them back by the weekend.
