Thats lovely, seriously debating one myself.

Dafthead · Mar 3, 2013

Do it Scoot, join the club

Scoot · Mar 3, 2013

Im just a bit worried about the depreciation tbh thats the only reason I haven't got one already. Spec wise I would like a black with red leather M sport manual.

Do it.

I was set on a 330i until I test drove a 335i.

C.J · Mar 3, 2013

Bit crap, but gives you an idea of standard sound.

I need to take it out for a proper clip.

Single and dual, how does that work?

Something to do with warm up. At first only one works.

There is a mod called the 'golf tee' mod which will open both exhausts from cold.

Good choice of wheel. I have the same on my M3.

I bought my LCI's from here. Currently showing as around £385 delivered. Genuine BMW but they remove the BMW logos before shipping for some reason. Even come with a genuine packaged BMW loom adaptor.

I'll have a look, cheers.

Any photos of them on your M3? Or a topic of yours?

It'll have a butterfly valve like my 330Ci that works off the vacuum from the engine. You can plug the vacuum hose with a golf tee and push the valve open and it will stay open constantly. It may work slightly different on the E92, but the principle is the same. It'll be down the keeping noise to a minimum around town as well, then when you're on the loud pedal, it will flick open for a nice noise.

Yeh, there's a plug in the boot for the vacuum. A quick unplug and you're away.

I've unplugged it now, will see how it goes for a couple of weeks. It's a lot louder, sounds modded, not sure if I'll keep it.

That sure is nice

Dead nice.

You coming to Malton, Chris?

I'll be there yeah, taking the GoPro if you want to take it for a little outing attached to your rear bumper.

I love the 335i so much, it is absolutely my next car. Brilliant mix of looks, handling and power while still sensible-ish running costs. I would have to have a hell of a lot more cash floating around before I saw any value in having an M3 over a 335i as a road car.

Ant1 · Mar 11, 2013

Very nice that! Colour combo goes a treat.

Gaz. · Mar 11, 2013

One of the few modern BMs I actually want to own, good choice sir.

If I had the money to run an M3 I'd have one, but overall the 335i is a great balance. Enough power, without silly running costs.

Cheers, this was THE colour I wanted.

Autosol, makes a huge difference.

jesus · Mar 14, 2013

Good effort, I love using Autosol. So satisfying seeing the results

jamier27 · Mar 14, 2013

The jb4 has an option to keep can flap open all the time ....

cant say I notice much difference on mine tho

Sam@NP · Mar 14, 2013

Fine choice sir. So tempted by one of these if I get a grad job. Touring though.

eves · Mar 16, 2013

Did you add the small lip spoiler on the boot?

FYI this does throw an error up on the diagnostics.

When I had my last one I unplugged the flap & when it broke down they mentioned it was showing exhaust flap error.

Good spot, yes it's a lip spoiler. I think it finishes the rear nicely, almost looks too plain without.

Ah really? I could always plug it back in before visiting BMW.

jamier27 · Mar 16, 2013

Jb4 also clears any fault codes... Lol have I sold you it yet.

i have had my 135i in for its 4th service at 50k this week and haven't picked up on jb4

oh and service was only £128 including pollen filter! Helps when you know someone at the dealership I guess

wilbo · Mar 21, 2013

Out of interest, now you have had the car a bit longer, what average mpg are you seeing? Thinking of selling my Impreza and getting one of these.

I'm currently showing 25.2mpg. But that's driving 90% sensible to work and back.

Compared to the 350z it's worse, as I drove the Z harder than this, but got 26+ average to work and back (although book figures say the 335i should be better).

clio007 · Mar 22, 2013

I average 13.8 in mine over the last 150 miles

Very very nice car...

I love this pic.... I really want the black kidney grill on mine now.

Makes the front look very aggressive

C.J · Mar 23, 2013

Cheers lads, yeh the front does look aggressive with the grill.

Gray · Mar 23, 2013

Really, really, really like this car.

C.J · Mar 30, 2013

A handful iPhone photos from today/tonight.

Mr R. · Mar 30, 2013

Keep on looking at these on AT, so much want!!!

Stefan. · Mar 30, 2013

Such a nice shape!! great colour combo.

jesus · Mar 31, 2013

That looks absolutely brilliant mate.

_Tom · Apr 2, 2013

Its not an issue until you have a fault, at this point it will show interference from a non BMW device voiding any warranty.
