Update v.335i
I was going through my posts and realized that I have never really given an update on my car since I bought it.
Here is what I started with when I bought the car over two years ago: http://www.kcsr.org/showthread.php?p=2076280 And here is what it looks like now:  I didnt really do much to the car the first year I had it but here is what I have done since then: Exterior: 1M replica LCI front bumper LCI hood Gloss black wrapped roof High-kick performance style spoiler 4 inch exhaust tips (soon to be replaced with Dinan exhaust) OEM blacklines taillights I have been through a couple sets of wheels but I am back on stock wheels for now Performance/maintanence: JB4 DCI Little bit of E85 when I feel like it New turbos less than 10k miles ago Misc standard maintenance items I will be getting downpipes this winter then an upgraded intercooler later on down the road. I think I am pretty much finished with the exterior. This is pretty much what I wanted my car to look like. I have a set of 19 inch CSL wheels in my garage but I might be looking for something else next summer along with a mild drop. I will update this thread with more pics and updates as they happen. |

Stock turbos were replaced under warranty. JB4 Map 5 with E30 should be around 360whp but I have never dyno'd it.

Looks great. Why'd the turbo's need to be replaced? How many miles were on them?

8yr/82k mile warranty for waste gate rattle. I wanted to get them replaced before time period expired. I got it done at 62k miles.

I think this is the only picture I have of the other wheels. I am having an issue with one of them which is why they are not on the car right now. I will see if I can get the issue figured out before I decide if I want to sell them or not.

The LCI conversion with the 1M front looks amazing! I really like the transformation the car has made since day 1.

Anyone want to buy this car? Nothing has really changed since I made this thread and I am in the market for an LS3 Corvette. Current miles are 78.3k and I am asking $11.5k.

I had an E61, so different car, but my experience was different. I bought a clean 60k mile example, had it inspected, but still in the first year of ownership, incurred ~$5k in costs. Not all of these costs are applicable to a 3-series (rear air suspension, moon-roof), but others do and the grand total is why some people steer clear.
