Ordered a 335i 6spd, but what about F30 N55 chip/exhaust/intake?! - BMW 3-Series Forum (F30 / F32)

1.fresh.f30.335 · 04-12-2012, 10:52 AM

Hey everyone,

How's it goin'?! Anyone that already has their 335 please let me know what you think, I can't wait until mine gets here! I have been an audi guy for the past decade and am finally entering the BMW arena! Heres what I ordered up:

Alpine White
Black w/ silver trim red accent
Tech pkg
premium pkg
apps
m dynamic suspension
sound pkg
cold weather pkg
I think thats it...

I am looking to find a shop that wants to do an exhaust or an intake on a 335 in the NE area in late May/early June... Any suggestions/people I should contact? And I know there aren't currently any brands producing stuff for this car but someone has to be the first, right?

Does the chip for last years 335i work on this car b/c their both N55, or is that question still unanswered?
*Edit: Since it is different, who is working on one?

Thanks for the insights and if anyone has a picture of their F30 on springs and tint, no one hates a good picture.

As far as tuning goes, Terry at BMS said this: "Unfortunately, they changed around the DME so none of the CAN stuff we've developed for the N54 and N55 motors is compatible. It's back to square one there."

There are both mechanical (like fuel pump) and electronic differences between the F30 N55 and E90 N55 engines

We have the Exhaust and downpipe in development in process/testing right now with ECU and intercooler development on the schedule just after those are completed.

N20 will be completed after the N55 is complete. We own the 335i, so we got to work on it early on. The 328 models will not go unloved bar far. I'm a fan

Coils are epic, but I can't do them again...I will get the urge to go lower, and lower, and lower!

A little proof of why I can't go that route: (this thread needed some pictures :thump

No not yet, I'm still seeing what kind of deal I can get on them.

Hahaha welcome, you've got style.

You could consider the M Perfomance power kit that will be released soon in combination with K&N airintake and Akrapovic exhaust system! Other suppliers will definately come with more power from software updates later, however that kills the BMW guarantee (at least here in NL).

Good luck!

I imagine a whole slew of products will be available by the end of the year

We are going to be testing out some springs from H&R shortly once they make available. Coilovers may be possible later

GTM_Challenge · 04-18-2012, 11:54 AM

We should have production downpipe and exhaust ready for end May is our goal. I'm tryingmy best to have a Tune ready around the same time so running catless is possible for all.

We should have at least a prototype front mount ready around the same time as well.

Now thats the answer I have been looking for!

Let me know when you have a price on that and I'll place an order.
