Greetings!
As many of you have already read, we recently had the pleasure of experiencing the BMW European Delivery Program on a beautiful new 335i:


In this thread, we will be documenting the progress of the car. You can check here for regular updates, installation photos, and information about this car and it's development.

We hope you will subscribe and share our excitement during this build-up! Don't blink... this car will be done before you know it!

Regards
JL

So, to start at the beginning, here are some photos from the day we picked the car up at the Welt (June 7th), as well as some photos from places in Germany, Switzerland, and Southern France

Updates:

The car was picked up on Friday from Long Beach BMW and driven home. By Saturday, we had it up on the dyno. We clocked in at 238RWHP for the baseline (Dyno sheet and photos to follow tomorrow), which is pretty respectable.

Then, we headed out to Sonic MS, and installed the following:

-Active AutoWerke Blow-Off Valve
-Active AutoWerke Catback Exhaust
-Active AutoWerke Processor (This thing rips!)
-Enkreuz H8R 20"
-NITTO Invo Tires
-KW V2 Coilover Suspension
-Brembo 380mm 6 piston front braking system
-Brembo 345mm 4 piston rear braking system
-Matte Black Grilles
-Vorsteiner License plate frame
-"Stage 3" ( :rofl: ) fender roll

Here are 4 photos. More coming soon... with Videos!








Many more photos coming soon guys, don't worry!

HUGE Thanks to:
-NITTO Tires (Sponsor)
-Jerome at Active AutoWerke (Sponsor)
-Johnny at Enkreuz Wheels (Sponsor)
-Justin Zetterlund (Photographer - PM us for contact info!)
-Darwin, Al, Barrett, and Justin at Sonic MS. We wouldn't take our car anywhere else.
-Andrew (Phatbam) for saving us in a pinch!

Thanks for looking, guys! But stay tuned... this car isn't even half way done...

Here are a few more. Obviously we can only add so many photos per post, and can only upload so many photos at a time... so we are spacing them out little by little. Gotta keep you guys on your toes...











We made quite the mess at Sonic

Magic switch in case someone borrows the car :bellyroll Gets rid of at least 60HP


Active Auto Exhaust looks and sounds incredible!


(The dog's name is Brembo... )






And that's enough modding for one weekend.
This week:
All the little stuff.
Next week. All the really big stuff.

Thanks guys
