I finally got a car that I like, at least so far. As some of you know, I bought a Chrysler 300 about a year and a half ago, threw some wheels on it, did a few things and HATED it! Ended up trading it in 2 weeks ago for something better, something more suitable for my driving style and tastes.
BMW 335i coupe w/sport package, preimum package, nav package, 19" wheel package
Had it for almost 2 weeks now, only thing done so far are tints.
Future mods include:
BMW Aero Lip (ordered)
H&R Race Springs (ordered)
HID Halos (ordered)
HID fogs (ordered)
JB+ chip or SSTT chip
intake
4" exhaust tips
possibly a new trunk with spoiler molded in.
In the future a set of 20s.
Sorry for the crappy pics, taken with my bb
And heres a pic of my 300 that I hated so much!

very nice........lol just wondering why did you hate the 300 so much
nice. i love the new 335i. ive been debating about trading the lexus in for one
I hated the 300 for a few reasons.
1. it drives more like a truck then a car. I like a sporty feel and this definatly didnt give that (not the cars fault, its a big car, not meant to be sporty)
2. The whole thing felt cheap, especially the interior, the door panels and dash had lines on them from the plastic mold they came out of
3. GAS GUZZLER!!
those are the 3 main ones, but there were so many other little things that I didnt like
The 335 on the other hand... now this is a car! I love every little thing about it so far. Its fun to drive, has endless power in every gear via the twin turbos. Its easily upgradeable to the 400hp range. Handles like a go cart. Then theres the little things that make you LOVE it! The seatbelt gets handed to you when you enter the car, the sav screen demands attention and controls everything from your nav to radio to telling you how much life your brakes have left. The interior fit and finish is phenomenal! The seats hug you. Everything is in the right spot. It really feels like the car was built around me!

i hate u
My car was made with wrenches, Not chopsticks.
Very nice! Love it.
I can never figure out how people do it. I am a Structural Engineer and I am hopeing I will have enough to make a down payment on a base Impreza hatchback, or Civic in 2 years time, and that I am lucky enough that my Cavalier will last that long.
VEry nice. Lets see Lotus<300C<BMW 335i. I like the New BMW's but their parts are still outragous and they look like their getting bigger. I like the the Smaller 3 series. Enjoy it a friend of mine has a 98 M3 with over 550Hp when he has the psi turned up very fun agile cars. Nearly had a heart attack when he told me how it cost for to do his brakes.
thanks for the positive feedback guys!
nightmares: ya theyre expensive to do up and maintain but they dont need much to make into a lethol street machine/weekend track car. Nor do they need much in the way of styling to turn them into something that turns heads.
As for brakes... ya BMW is pretty much a rapeist! haha At the same time, scheduled maintenance is free for the first 4 years as well theres an optional brake warranty, its liek $900 and covers brakes for 3 or 4 years. Cheaper then one brake job even!

If you still have the wheels from the 300 they would look slick on the bimmer. Nice ass car.
I lost interest in the 3 series after the e46 was replaced. The only thing I like about the e90/e92 is that delicious 3.0L twin-turbo motor... everything else about that car gets a resounding 'meh'.

Matt: I do still have the wheels, but not a chance that 22s are fitting nor would suit the e92! I actually like the stocks a lot (which is why I paid more for the 19s). I plan on replacing the tires with soft summers and selling the runflats. This should satisfy me for a little bit. Ill end up gettings 20s eventually, but no rush. Plan on chrome lips with brushed face.
urban: I thought the same thing I LOVED the e46 m3! Id say take a closer look, drive an e92, sit in one, take up all it has to offer, its actually an amazing car!
Thanks everyone else for the positive words! I can tell you, my 300 did NOT get such nice comments when I posted it up on here!
and whitecav: honestly, looking at ur sig, and at mine, I kinda want a Cavalier with the Import Fighter kit again, its actually one of the hottest things EVER!!

22's, dayumn, the wheels didn't look that big on the 300 to me. I think they would've looked nice on the BMW if they were smaller.
Hell of a nice car. I love the styling of BMW's. Great upgrade. At least you're going in the right direction when you get new cars. LMAO

I agree man, I think your car was the reason I decided to go with the Import fighter front WAYYYY back in the day.

Good @!#$. I like the 335 a lot.
Matt: I plan on something with chrome lips and brushed face on the 335, im over the black rim look
Whitecav: glad to see I can inspire! I still think GM should have paired with RK and offered that kit for the factory, nicer then anything theyve ever made!
Thanks again everyone for the kind words!! Just over 2 weeks in and this car keeps impressing!! I got my lowering springs today from the Netherlands (wanted the Euro Spec springs, they were the drop I wanted), just need to get them installed now!

Personally the only BMW I like is their motorcycles and the 335d, mostly because of the diesel engine, as I'm a HUGE fan of European diesel engines. I can't stand their reliability and designs, but I will give credit where credit is due. Your model 335i is a quick puppy, power through out the rev band and it has a silky shifter and the black/black tints hides (IMO) the ugly like a black shirt on a chubby girl. The combo looks good. I don't know what year your model is, but take a look on the overheating issues on theses 335s.
