BMW E92 335i - progress thread

[Earl]

I would say an e92 m3 personally=)

Soooo, I got a bit tired and wanted to change things up a little bit, so I put my car up for sale. After two weeks the car was sold and now I don't really know what to do. I'm currently debating myself wether to buy a brand new 4-series Gran Coupe or an E92 M3 LCI.

A few weeks ago I got in touch with Pavels at madetoscrape.com and he wanted to do a feature of the car. It felt kind of bitter to do the photoshoot, but it is a great way to say goodbye. Please have a look.

I thought the OZ's were perfection. NOPE! Those Hartge's are the bee's knees man!

[Frode D]

Still waiting for ustoms to release my M3-seats, so no progress on those... I just hope I haven't been scammed.

But I came across something I couldn't lett pass. Hartge design E made by Ronal. 8,5x19" et20.

A little more progress, finished the drivers seat. As the passenger seat airbag was deployed and the head rests are incorrect I decided to order two seats from UK. Hopefully they will get here sometime this week.

Also I ordered door cards from USA, but they haven't moved since May 3rd. I guess they are alost case...

Anyway, a few pics:

love this car, i remember seeing it at worthersee15 and it was so clean was a refreshing change from everything else thats normally there.

i also see you stayed at ziggies hotel, we stayed there worthersee14 the guy is crazy, was he still zooming about and getting the shopping on his electric scooter thing.

looking at it now the car has really came together and somehow you exceeded how it was before. love all the small subtle touches that really enhance the car over all.

keep up the great work.

Thank you! Happy to hear you liked it, I felt it was very subtle compared to other cars down there. I like the small details, not everyone see them but I think they really make the difference.

Haha, yes he was still using the scooter. I totally understand him though, as is is much easier to get around than with a car sometimes.

looks awsome. i love it. wish it was mine. what engine is it btw?

that interior should finish it off nicely

Thank you, appreciate it! It's a 335i as stated below

It's an 08 335, so should be an N54.

perfection.

Thank you!

Did an alignment today. Didn't need much adjustment besides the front right wheel. All four wheels have -3,25 degrees camber and 10 minutes toe. Very happy with the result.

Also I got my ZHP gear knob today. It looks good in combination with the Z4M steering wheel. All I need now is a handbrake handle with Novillo leather to finish it off.





Started coloring the drivers seat. I have done 3 coats with a sponge, and need 3 more with air brush and then 3 layers of sealer. The color will change a lot when the sealer is applied. Still waiting on my other seats and the door cards. Hope they arrive soon.

perfection.

A few new shots..

That could work, but then you would have pressure going from left bag to right bag when cornering an opposite.

Static feels much better.

Thats right but the integrated anti wank prevents air going from one side to the other when you are cornering.

I recommend anyone who wants to go for accuair the 2 sensor setup with an valve with integrated anti wank itīs the cleanest and best solution.


But yes you are right I also have done the conversion from air back to static and I am driving exactly the same fitment with static now as before with air

[Frode D]

Ok then it was in 2015 for sure Back in the days when you were on air and accuair. The solution for your accuair problem would have been easy by the way.

You just should have changed your VU4 to a 2 way valve block with integrated anti-wank, like airbrick from null-bar.de

Then just use 2 height sensors, one in the back one in the front. As a result your bag pressure per axle would have been the same, no more cross loading issues.

But now youīre back on static and donīt have to worry about any more


Itīs your car so you have to be satisfied with it but I hope you are going to lower it a bit more
