Talking NEW OWNER: 335i N55 M-SPORT

Hi All

My thread is a little late considering iv been following this forum for a month now and took delivery of my 335 about 2 weeks ago..

I must say im loving it! I have owned many cars (16 in 4 years!) and I got to the point where iv exhausted the used car market for my budget that ticks my boxes. (performance, practicality, mpg, comfort, quality ect ect..)

Now im at the stage where its time to settle and since i had a weeks drive in a 335 N54 2 years ago iv been waiting for a time where it suits my requirements such as now.

Spec:

- 2010 N55 M-Sport 19k miles with 1 owner
- Silver exterior / Black interior
- Manuel
- Sat Nav & professional system
- Standard hifi (However I have now had AudioFile InCar in Bishops Stortford fit Focal speakers adding the tweeter with crossovers "Upgrade 1")
- Rear lip spoiler
- Heated seats & power folding wing mirrors
- BMW 2 year service plan left
- 12 months warranty

I have been researching mods! My wish list currently consists of "a" exhaust system with JB4 map, wrapping the car in a blue colour similar to the Jaguar XK-RS & New Aston Martin Vanquish that appeared on Top Gear.

My question is what do I start with?! I certainly don't have the budget to do all of them straight away, so should i wrap it first and replace the secondary cats (Cheap option) to give me more sound? then JB4 when money saved? Or do I go for the much loved BMW Performance Exhaust? :S

Your opinions would me very much appreciated! I'm a sucker for sound with my cars and not afraid of volume, however drone on my motorway commute for 40mins may get to me.. then again when I go to Le Mans & GoodWood FOS I want to feel like im enjoying the car and it stands out tastefully!

I look forward to reading your thoughts!

Many thanks
Jonny

Depending where you are, we have a forum member who is giving us a great deal atm. I certainly would the wrap first since its alot of money off and you won't find that price again. Im doing mine next week, in chessington.

Lovely car!! Silver is such a classic Coupe colour for me. Not quite the "lip" spoiler though lols. Am I seeing things or does your nearside headlight washer cover stick out a little? Only noticed because I've recently been into the dealer for two replacements of these

Sorted, make sure you keep your screenwash highly concentrated (with some good stuff too) so that these bastards don't fall off during winter

I've got a couple questions that I cannot seem to find an answer for:

1. I'm not sure where to buy the JB4 from the UK?
2. Where can I buy a secondary decat?

Many thanks

no point in secondary cat delete, best delete pre-cats and run 2nd cats will give you the most gain!
