How time flies....with just over 2.5 years in my possession, the 335 has gone so many changes it's hard to remember what it looked like the day I brought it home.

This past weekend seen my mileage finally hit 100 000 kilos, and I was so busy talking to my passenger, I completely forgot to take a pic. None the less, I've just completed 30 000 kilometers of ownership with it, and what a journey thus far. The "Sheer Driving Pleasure " that my car gives is second to none amongst the few I've owned, and the music which she plays from under the hood is something I love the most. I will begin documenting the build of Performance Mods hopefully next week, as it way overdue.

For now, to bring everything up to spec, I carried out a major service on the car 2 weeks back.

Mileage: 99471
Work carried out :

- Engine oil - Replaced with some BMW 5w-30 bought from Uncle J.

- New Magnetic oil sump nut plug. (Apparently is draws whate ver metal shavings are close to it and they stick to the magnetic surface of the plug)

- drained the brake Fluid and replaced with Motul racing brake fluid. This was purchased from axis engineering.

- Cabin Filters

- Liqui Moly Caretac added to engine as well.

- Removal of Charge pipe and cleaning of Tmap sensors and Bov.

- Replacment of vacuum lines running from Vacuum canisters to boost solenoids and Vacuum hose and Bov.
I replaces the oem braided lines with High Temp silicone 3.5mm hose.

- Replaced front disks and pads with Powerbrake Gt disks and Powerbrake Endless pads.

- Replaced read disks with Meyle Disks and texar Pads

- Replaced spark plugs with another set of NGK irridum plugs. These are one step colder plugs. The ones old looks they wore evenly and had no signs of abuse.

- Drivers side rear CV was sweating so that was also sorted

Will update with pics by tomorrow.

Firi your car is looking really good and its great that the maintenance is not compromised as well. Just out of interest, with all the work you have put into the car do you think you'd ever be able to sell it? And if so how much do you think you would let it go for? :fencelook:
Tough questions to answer

However the thought has never crossed my mind with regard to selling the car as it was a dream car for myself. Another factor I always look at, a new polo will cost you 220k Base. Nuff said.

I too was wondering about what StylisM asked. Your car is honestly THE best E90 worldwide.

So Firi, why the crash helmet? It's not like you ever go over 80km/hr? ;D

:biglol: he is playing it safe, the 335i is a beast with a mind of its own.

A few months the back...Wes asked me what next. We both looked at the car then each and had that look like.....I dunno. I mentioned somethings I would like to get done, didn't know it would happen so soon.


Really BIG Thanks to Zaahier and Charles from RENNZPORT for supplying these 20" OEM Vossen CV3 rims wrapped in New Falken rubber.
