  • BMW E92 335i - progress thread

    I have a few threads in the showroom forums, but I'm kinda bored and wanted to share the progress so far. And I know I will never be finished with the car.

    I have the kit from Bag Riders with air lift front struts, sleeve rear bags and koni shocks, accuair elevel, iLevel and Zaetech display.

    Got the car imported from Germany to Norway May 2013 and was all stock.















    After 4 days I installed H&R lowering springs while saving up for bags




    Bought some pretty beat up Rondell D58s just for fun. Polished the lips and they fit surprisingly well




    Didn't like the black grilles on a black car so I replaced the frames with chrome ones, and used the black inner grilles again. (a combo of chrome and performance grilles)




    LED angel eyes and AFE cold air intake




    Ordered the management first while saving up some more money for the bags. Started to build the trunk set up


    Removed the everything inside the trunk and started to plan where to place everything










    Placement of compressor (turned it later on)


    Base plate for everything


    Had to make some spacers due to the tank being a little to wide






    Management




    After that I started on the new floor and a box to store different stuff inside




    First attempt on the floor


    I was not happy with all the visible fittings, and made new brackets for the tank to rotate it

    Spent endless hours wrapping the inside of the trunk with black fabric. I've never liked the grey color.










    Had to paint the grey plastic to match the rest




    Removed these


    Finished trunk






    Next up was the install of the bags/shocks. I was so exited i didn't take any pictures of the install. But here is the first attempt















    The rest of the season was mainly driving and having fun
















    One of the crimps on the rear bag failed while the car was on jack stands. Bag Riders sent me a new one immediately!

      Winter came and the car was parked. Bought a winter beater (E36 316i) Installed the Zeatech Digigauge to have control of the pressures and an iPod-docking.























      Next up was new wheels. Got my hands on some OZ Futuras 9.5+11x18 ET19.




      Did a really quick test fit








      I was not 100% happy with the trunk and had very limited space in there when travelling to car shows. So I decided to redo the trunk, use the oem- floor and move the tank under the rear window














      I realized I don't have any pictures of the trunk finished, but I'll fix that later.

      Finally connected the display

        Bought too big tires, 215/40 and 255/35. The result was the car not going low enough on the front, the top of the wheel well layed down on top of the tire. And the rear fenders lay down on the tires.









        Also I bought a M-tech kit and coilovers for my daily


        Removed the tires and dialed in the fitment I want






        I'm getting 225/35 and 245/35 tires on wednesday and hoping that will be enough. Will probably have to shave the fenders as well.

        That is all for now!

        Further plans are CPS front lip, CF diffuser and new exhaust. And maybe LCI tail lights.

                          The koni shocks have the same length as stock, so they stop me from going lower. But this is exactly the height I want so I don't care
