335ievo Project F30 Thread - I'm Back!

I'm baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack!

Just picked up a 2013 BMW 328i F30 in Estoril Blue over the weekend and DAMN...it feels good to be back in a BMW again. I went over to Crevier BMW in Santa Ana and Anthony Dang (Internet Sales Manager) got me a deal I couldn't resist...rest is history.

I'm hoping to use this thread to keep a log during my modding quest and hopefully provide value back to the forums.

Now that we got that out of the way, let's start!

Special Thanks/Sponsors:

MOD #1 - 4/29/13 - BMW Performance Gloss Black Grilles



MOD #2 - 5/6/13 - Paint Matched M Sport Front & Rear Reflectors

Is there any way to make the lower grills glossy black as well?

There's no option from BMW, so you would probably have to get your local bodyshop to spray them for you.

I previously owned a 2008 BMW 335i E90 Sparkling Graphite before I sold it for my 2010 Honda Fit. So it's been about 2-3 years since I've been away from BMW. Picture is working now!

Huge difference going from a BMW to a Honda. Then back to a BMW.


What are your plans for the BMW? And was the fit modded?

I get the same question all the time. I sold my 335i because I was really into motorcycles at that time and I was going to pull a trigger on a Ducati 848. So I ended up buying a Honda Fit as a daily driver for the time being. However, the plans fell through and so I never ended up getting a motorcycle.

I know right? I got some pretty big plans for the car. Everything from exterior to performance mods. Next couple mods will be the front & rear painted reflectors which are already on their way in. Will update soon!
