What modifications should I do?

Shawnalston10 · 11-26-2019, 06:11 PM

Just bought a 2011 335i coupe and am wanting to mod it. Give me some ideas guys! (Wheels, spoilers, innercooler, air intake, front bumpers, exhaust , ect...)

Dude get the car to 100% maintenance wise before you spend money on mods. These cars cost a decent amount to properly keep on the road.

Just have a EVAP leak, need to replace my valvetronic actuator, my coolant level says low but it's full and I've replaced the sensor and I have a inactive tpms light I just got today which I don't know why.

Do what he said and definitely upgrade to a vrsf charge pipe to save yourself from being stranded when it blows. Tune it with MHD, get the g-plus intercooler, and for sound get a catless or catted downpipe paired with the PE mod and your car will be much more enjoyable. Cosmetics are up to you.

What is PE MOD? Is it just like a muffler delete with the mufflers still on your car

You already know what to do. Stop making endless threads about the same thing.

Stop this is not funny

mike@x-ph.com · 11-27-2019, 10:44 AM

Depends on what you are looking to get? Better look, sound or more power?

I would get a tune + intercooler and charge pipe as a start

Ozzie335i · 11-27-2019, 10:53 AM

Externally, don't change a thing. She's beautiful as she is. For power, go with what mike suggested. Best bang for a grand outlay.

TheGoodTheBadTheUgly · 11-27-2019, 11:23 AM

I personally like the look of your car a lot. It is really clean and since it is an E92 I believe you have bright LED angel eyes and not halogen like my E90 use to have. If you still have halogen, put some Lux Angel Eyes. Maybe bigger exhaust tips if you really like aesthetic upgrades.

Maintenance: Check plugs, coils, water pump, diverter valve, expansion tanks, oil leaks

Performance wise in importance: Charge Pipe > MHD Stage 1 = Intercooler > MHD Stage 1+ = Catless/High Flow Catted Downpipe > MHD Stage 2/2+ > Cold Air Intake

After this you are considered FBO. If you want to continue performance wise, I would go E85 Fuel if you have come in your area, Methanol Injection, Turbo upgrade with LPFP upgrade. You could also consider a transmission flash from xHP to have sharper shifts.

Sound Wise: I am more the type of going full maintenance and performance than aesthetics and sound so I kept sound mods as last for my car. The downpipe helps a lot with giving the car more sound. You can then get an aftermarket exhaust. I would personally do performance exhaust mod. If you want to go the extra necessary mile to hear your spooling and engine more you can go with BMS Cowl filters.

I'm just getting different opinions from different people. No need to be a dick head about it. If you have a problem just leave the forums 🤣

Not trying to be a dick but you have endless threads about transmission possibly slipping, rpm bouncing, valvetronic issues. Fix all that before even thinking about mods. Then you ask about pure turbo, which obviously means you have done research and know what mods you want/need etc. just kinda repetitive all these threads but do you booboo

N55lif3 · 12-11-2019, 01:33 AM

1. Check for leaks/rough idles/codes
2. New plugs, new coils, chargepipe
3. DP, FMIC, GFB DV+, 3.5 map sensor, bucketless LPFP, xdi hpfp, E85
4. PS2

Hannibal4444 · 12-11-2019, 03:49 AM

Damn, looks sexy how it's setup rn. Start with the maintenance shite. Then I'd adjust that hood gap and a paint correction + protection if it needs it.

I appreciate the reply. Not sure how to adjust the hood but I plan on doing the M-sport front bumper so I'm going to look into it when I do it then.

Jeff@TopGearSolutions · 12-13-2019, 11:24 AM

Start with the basics. You'll want to start at least with a tune, charge pipe and fresh spark plugs. After that intercooler and downpipe. Suspension and brakes.
