Hey guys, I'm Steven. I'm not new to the StanceWorks forum but I have been gone for a long time. I had a miata build thread years and years ago that never got really serious before I sold the car, and I've been through a few cars since. I've found myself in love with BMW and everything about BMW, but I have taken a serious liking to the 3-Series Chassis.
Since I sold my miata I have owned an '86 325e Sedan, a 2001 SchwarzII 330i Sedan, a 2001 Stehlgrau on taninrot 325i Wagon, and I just recently bought a 2010 Monaco blue E90 335i.
Some of you may know me for my dearly loved 325i wagon. It was a 1 of 1 very special wagon, steel grey with manual, sport package, taninrot interior; factory 5-speed manual; slicktop; with some top-of-the-line options, and weird base-model options. It was bagged on a set of Panasport G7 C5C, with a MTech II front bumper and face lift hood fitted (I liked the kidney grills and hood lines better lol) It got a LOT of love at Sowo 2015 and was featured in the Japanese magazine "AF Imp" in the September 2015 issue. Anyways enough of that, here's some pics.

I have now moved on to my new car, the E90 335i, and I miss my wagon way more than I ever thought I would
The 335i is my first turbo car, along with my first automatic car (took a lot of convincing but no ragrats yet) so I have a little learning to do as far as possible engine mods. I have a lot of plans for this car and I really want to get this car past what my wagon was, and push myself a little in the process.
Its a 2010 Monaco Blue on Saddle Brown E90 335i, automatic, sport package, navigation, etc... As of now the car is still totally stock besides LED interior lights.
here it is with my wagon on stocks before I sold it :'(
And here's my current pile of parts (minus my intakes that are still being shipped)
So far here's my parts list/wishlist
Installed:
LED Interior Lights
Airlift Performance full air ride setup
Autopilot V2 Management
BMS DCI Intakes
BMS Cowl delete filters
6000k LED angel eyes
Wheels
CSL Trunk
Bought/Not Installed Yet
Godspeed Project rear camber arms
ER Charge Pipe w/ Tial style BOV
Wishlist
WHEELS [X]
JB4 []
1M Style front bumper []
MTech rear bumper []
D&M rear diffuser []
CSL trunk [X]
FMIC []
Inlets/Outlets []
Downpipes []
Exhaust []
Meth kit []
Diff Lockdown kit []
LPFP for E85/E50 mix []
MHD Back-end flash []
Alpina B3 TCM flash []
Navigation Phone-Mirroring mod []
- More to be added
Plans for the car:
As of right now I'm planning to build a false floor for the trunk set up to hide all of the air ride management guts and have just the top of the tank sticking out of the carpet pretty similar to this except with a pale driftwood colored hard wood floor.
And then obviously install my performance parts.
I want to make around 450 whp on the stock twins until they go, then move on to a top-mount single turbo and full-time E85 with a moderate tune around 600-650, all while having top-notch fitment.
I've always been a stance guy over a go-fast guy, but since this is my first turbo car I figured I can try to do both
Anyways leave me some feedback and ideas guys! I'm still brainstorming really hard on what all I want to do to the car so some ideas and constructive criticism would be awesome. The feedback gives me a lot of motivation to continue working on the car so let me know whats up!
And I SERIOUSLY need help with a wheel choice. Give me some wheel opinions and whatnot on what I should run. I'm really liking the idea of Gloss black and Diamond Cut LXZ's.
