    Re: Time for change

    Forgot to add on point. The 335D is the only E90 BMW that actually has a dipstick. Good luck with the car. Absolute beauty. In case you need to use a floor jack, consider picking up a jack pad tool such as the following: http://www.bmwcca.org/classifieds/li...model=&id=4322 . I know that ECS sells similar ones etc. I have done quite a few winter/summer wheel swaps for E90s over the years and this tool is really valuable. Have fun with the Bimmer.

    Thanks for the info! I'm going to be keeping it stock for now aside from suspension and wheels, the tune will come after the car is off of warranty which isn't for another 3 years. I already have a few sets of fairly nice/rare BMW wheels kicking around my house and so I won't be wheel shopping for a few years I don't imagine. They are taking care of all the recalls and various other things before I pick it up; ie. 3m kit, new oe spec runflat winters and some other little things.

    I have a few plans, nothing engine relate until the warranty is up, but, it will be getting wheels and KW V3's come this spring.
    Wow that engine is much more powerful than I expected it to be!!! That seems like a great base to start out with!!!

    Sad to hear about the R32, but I love BMWs and the community is awesome.

    Any plans? JBD? If you haven't already, might I suggest you check out some LTBMW/LTMW cars on E90post.com (ie - http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=758825)... maybe you'll find some inspiration for future mods .

    R32 hasn't left my garage yet. Not sure how soon I will sell it.

    All my wheels are 5x120 as if I was anticipating this one day

    Nice TJ!!! Congrats on the purchase. Gonna miss the .:R32, but i'm sure you'll do some good things to this car.

    P.S. what are you gonna do with the wheels and the R-Line bumper?
