My Ride: Alpine White 2006 530Xi (SLD)
Not to bore anyone with one of my essays, let me just stick to the point: 530Xi sport stick is awesome - I love my car, it has all the features I want and all the packages and options, etc., but it will never be a 335i coupe sport stick. Weight and power are important to me, bc I drive-drive my cars.
What does everyone think? Is it a big status downgrade? I asked a few girls and they were all like "keep the 5", but I want more fun out of the car, so I'm perplexed: should I just keep modding the 530Xi and if it needs repairs - so be it. Or should I get a nice CPO 07-08 335 coupe that's gonna have almost 5 yrs of warranty and BMW service already included and mod that one?
I'd probably get a silver, AW or grey e92 with the red interior (love that red interior!
), it would of course be a stick shift and sport pk car.

Get a grey with the red interior, V! Love that color combo
My biggest challenge will be to mod the 335 coupe so that it looks as grown up as the 5er, cuz I'll still be crashing the 5series meets LOL I can't drive with all those delinquents from the e90post - they get into entirely too much trouble with LE

So far I'm thinking of the following exterior mods for the 335:
19s (don't wanna go with 20s for sure - will look too ghetto for my taste) - probably a simple 5 spoke design or Miro 935/Breyton GTS. Maybe, maybe the CSL look, but that's too common. I'm not really set on design yet, but contrary to my e60, I'll prolly do the rims first, as it is definitely the most important mod.
I love the CSL trunk, but want to see it more IRL to make sure it doesn't look juvenile.
some very light tints
I'm looking around for a front lip/air dam/replacement bumpers, but not yet finding too much. But I'll probably do some combination of CF and A/M grilles to make the face look more unique.
Other mods:
I think my SB should work on a manual 3 - its all the same, as long as its manual, I believe. And I might do the CF trim wrap - depending on what trim the car will have. I might get the JB3 - might... and definitely will get an exhaust to make it sound better than all the g35s and g37s that will want to look good next to me LOL I'm not a street racer, but I don't want those ricers to get too full of themselves either
