BMW E92 335i - progress thread

[btns44]

Everything looks great! I love the air setup on the e92s, but I also love the feeling of being static. Keep up the awesome work!

Hmmm that E46 touring looks like it's begging to be modded.
Make a build thread
Do it

How was it in terms of ride quality?

I'm on the market but first hand experiences are better to know.

You didn't/dont like the air?

I liked it, but I've had it for two years. I like to change things up.

Just ordered a set of Broadway Statics for the E92. Will be good to go back to static.

Love the build, just one quick question; did switching to the SS-5 and Bilstein shocks fix your rubbing issues?

Yes, but what I realized was that my top mount for the bags were supposed to be fitted the other way around. And that was the main cause for it. (The way I originally assembled the rear bag setup is how Bag Riders told me to do it, because of all the rubbing). The only issue now is that the bag is pushed against the shock when the car is jacked up, but that doesn't really matter when the car is on the ground.

This is so damn clean oh my, the E92 has some beautiful lines

Thank you!

car looks amazing

Thanks!

I haven't updated since Worthersee I guess, but I did buy a front lip and wrapped the lip, rear diffusor and grills to match the wheels.



I also moved to a new place, and finally I have my own garage.


Sold the E36 and bought an E46 Touring


It is time to change things up again, so I sold the RS2's, which are going on an E28.


Bought these


Plans for the winter:
- Rebuild the ACS Type 2 wheels to 10+11x18" ~et20
- Wrap the front lip and rear diffuser matte black (not sure if I'll keep the lip)
- Chrome grills
- Dye the interior brown (waiting for a sample from Leatherique)
- Rebuild the trunk (again)
- Probably Air Lift V3

I've also debated myself to go back to some quality coilovers and 19", but I really like the convenience with bags while travelling through Europe.

That's all for now, I'll post updates along with the progress.

Looks really good. Clean and simple

A few questions as I will be re-doing my trunk over the course of this summer. Did you mount the tank to the wood false floor? I have the BMW assist module in my trunk as well and it gets pretty hot, have you had any issues with it being underneath your false floor? Also, I can't really tell, but do you have hardlines running straight to the compressor? I've heard this could be an issue with vibration of the compressor and can crack/damage the lines if not run with a short flex line.

The tank is mounted to the false floor and the floor is bolted to the chassie. I have cut out as much as I can from the false floor to keep it as light as possible and to prevent things from getting hot. Haven't had any issues so far, but I have just the bluetooth module.
I have a hardline straight to the compressor, and I have never heard of that problem. But it sounds like a good idea to use a flex line first....

Just gorgeous! What are the specs on the wheels if you dont mind me asking?
And are you using adjustable camber arms in the rear or just stock?

The wheels are 10+11x18" et 17.
I have adjustable arms in the rear. 4.5 degrees camber at driving height.
