I am contemplating selling my 2013 335is with DCT and every option other than comfort access. Black on Saddle (gorgeous and rare combination). 25.5k mi. 19" wheel option.
I've modded the car to be the perfect street and performance weapon, with no major compromises in either direction (not too extreme nor too slow). The parts are nothing but the best and I will even provide spares where applicable (see below).
Mods list:-
Setrab oil cooling with Improved Racing thermostat + Rob Beck delete plate and braided AN lines and hose ends. NEVER goes into limp mode even at 10/10s and 90 degree weather.
-
JRZ RS1-based suspension with 450# linear rate springs in front and 800# in rear. With these dampers the ride is less harsh than stock ZSP but definitely firmer. Change the damping setting on the shocks though and you can go from race track wild to commute mild.
- Right now I have Vorshlag Race
camber plates but will be converting to Ground Control Street plates as they make less NVH. Aggressive camber or mils street, at your preference.
-
M3 bushings and arms all around, including subframe, and Megan (Hardrace) toe links for hop-free and zero-deflection cornering. There's that no compromise thing.
-
e93 M3 front sway bar and Hotchkis rear sway bar with adjustable endlinks front and rear. Perfect balance without losing traction in the rear (I started with an M3 rear bar and it was too stiff for rear traction out of the turns).
-
Quaife limited slip differential! This is the part that brings it all together. The car puts the power down, period. Without this mod, everything else is pointless. MUST HAVE. Includes a set of Powerflex diff bushings to keep things in check.
-
Cobb Stage 2+ tune with mild tweaks. Aggressive but smooooth power. ETS 5" intercooler along with AFE semi-sealed dual intakes (plus ram air ducts), and AFE downpipes. Sounds absolutely beastly and yet refined. WOT is like praying to Thor.
- The stock 19" 313 wheels are shod with NON runflat
Michelin PSS in 245/275 series front and rear. Major traction for the street.
- For the track I also have a set of
17x9 Apex ARC-8's with Toyo R1R's with less than 1,000 miles on them. Those wheels have their own TPMS sensors! All included in listed price.
- Also have a set of
235-series winter tires (Mich Xice3) which fit on the track wheels, assuming you have snow in the winter these are a must have too. Also included in price.
- The final big part is the
Stoptech BBK all around - black calipers. 6 pot in front and 4 in rear. Simply amazing pedal feel and never fades. Ever. EVER. Running braided SS lines all around, including the mid line in rear. System filled with Castrol SRF brake fluid.
-
BMS oil catch can and RB Turbo PCV valve. Oil consumption and blow by are totally managed by this combination. Speaking of, I did oil changes every 7500 miles or less, using German Castrol (BMW certified).
-
PAINT PROTECTION - the entire front end of the car is clear bra-ed. Not half hood and half fender, but FULL hood and fender. Car is also debadged for a nice stealth look.
I probably forgot other stuff but those are the main things. As I said, I'm not sure I'm selling the car... but if I get serious offers then I will likely be stepping into something faster and more purpose-built for tracking. That's why I'm thinking of selling.
