Lauren Posted April 25, 2018 Report Share Posted April 25, 2018 I bought smoking hawks 335xi listed here. It has had its fair share of issues. So far I've done valve cover and oil pan gasket. Added charge pipe and dual cone filters. Fixed rear door latch and installed new window cables in rear. Ordered new trunk to repair dent and make the trunk handle work again. Removed JB4 and flashed with MHD. Registered battery to clear up trouble codes. I have relocated inlets and downpipes in the garage as well as a new front mount. M3 rep bumper and side skirts heading off to paint. And black line taillights. New wheels and tires came in yesterday. 18x9 CSL reps with bf Goodrich g force sport comp 2 getting mount. Here's a sneak of wheels. The rears have a 15 mm to get flush with fender. Fronts are already aggressive.

zeitgeist57 Posted April 25, 2018 Report Share Posted April 25, 2018 You...don't waste a lot of time. Looking forward to seeing the completed car! So, it's never this easy but...are a lot of E9x BMW electrical issues tied to an unregistered battery? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lauren Posted April 25, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2018 An unregistered battery will completely fuck up a BMW. Luckily I have Carly pro and their adapter so registering and coding is a non issue for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stallion Motorsports1647545491 Posted April 25, 2018 Report Share Posted April 25, 2018 Great pickup, sounds like you are fixing all the things needed. Does it need a low pressure fuel sensor still? I'm curious how bad that job is. This should be an easy flip, if you decide to sell it. Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lauren Posted April 25, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2018 Oh should have mentioned the lpfp sensor. I installed the new style fuel hose and sensor so that's done as well. Its a pain in the ass to change it mainly because the black box under the intake manifold sucks to move out of the way. Also delete vaccuum canisters and installed new silicone vacuum hose throughout. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lauren Posted April 25, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2018 I'm also at a crossroads with cars. I love my allroad and don't want to sell it and I love this 335 and am emotionally attached to both. I turned down a sale on the all road because I couldn't part with it. I'll also never get back into either car for what I got them for so I'm probably just going to keep both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orion Posted April 25, 2018 Report Share Posted April 25, 2018 Shouldnt take much to make that thing quite fun to drive. Always wanted one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geeto67 Posted April 25, 2018 Report Share Posted April 25, 2018 Having seen this car in person, I am actually excited to see this thread and where you go with it. The car was much cleaner in real life than the pics in the ad would have lead someone to believe - even with the high miles. I meant to ask you, where did you source the m3 style bumpers?

STEVE-O Posted April 25, 2018 Report Share Posted April 25, 2018 If you do decide to sell the 335 lmk I now have my driveway space back and am searching for a daily , haven’t ruled out a n54-n55 car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RC K9 Posted April 26, 2018 Report Share Posted April 26, 2018 Sport Comp 2's are good tires. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DKilbourne Posted April 26, 2018 Report Share Posted April 26, 2018 There are a few of us that would want either of those if you decided to sell one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lauren Posted April 26, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2018 I think the wheels and tires turned out rather nice. Sent from my VS988 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRed05 Posted April 26, 2018 Report Share Posted April 26, 2018 Looks good! I just picked up a similar style wheel for the A5, this is making me antsy to go get them mounted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lauren Posted April 26, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2018 Luckily Midas is right at the opening to my development so I can easily drop them off and pick them up whenever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lauren Posted April 27, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2018 Took it out to get gas. Man those sport comp 2's are awesome. Now to hibernate until all bolt ons are completed. Also might do turbos while I'm in there. Sent from my VS988 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Posted April 27, 2018 Report Share Posted April 27, 2018 What's the thought on losing the JB4? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lauren Posted April 27, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2018 What's the thought on losing the JB4? Jb4 is just a glorified boost controller. Its also pretty old tech at this stage. MHD is a full reflash with various maps depending on mods and e85. It creates much more power and it also has way more features. The app is free the flasher license is $99 and the map packs are $49. No brainer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Alex- Posted April 27, 2018 Report Share Posted April 27, 2018 Looks good, that was a solid deal. Add headlights to the list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpaceGhost Posted April 27, 2018 Report Share Posted April 27, 2018 I feel bad, this is like dating a cool chic for a long time, you know all her faults and blemishes and you broke up because she quit trying. Now shortly after she’s now gotten a makeover, lost 15 lbs, got some extensions, and fabulous set of fake tits. And now she’s fucking someone you know, and you see the pics all over Instagram.

Lauren Posted April 28, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2018 The guys that did the maps for Cobb for the n54 left Cobb and created MHD. Its only available for android. Go to play store and download mhd for n54. There you can buy the license. Buy maps. Buy monitoring feature. You can also read and clear codes. Its constantly evolving with new maps and support. Anyone with a n54/5 I highly suggest it. Oh you need to buy a dkan cable and otg cable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lauren Posted May 1, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2018 Well spent 2 hours on the car tonight. Dropped the subframe. Pulled stock downpipes and front turbo inlet. Tomorrow I'll tackle the rear inlet and then prep everything for install. Bonus pic of all the boxes of parts for this car.
