Upgrade from 335i to 435i

Hey F30 Post! I have been a member for a couple of years, and started with a 2008 335i. For a couple of years I did FBO upgrades and some minor body work.

However, after a couple of months last year, I was having issue after issue with the car. And it started to become a money pit. So, after months of searching, I finally found a good deal on a 2015 435i. The car was in immaculate condition and low mileage (50k). Moreover, what sold me was: coupe, red interior, and MANUAL stick shift.





Upgrades so far:
  • Valvetronic Exhaust (muffler)
  • m4 wheels
  • CTS air intake
  • CTS charge pipe
  • Jb4 ("stage 1")
  • Carbon Fiber side mirror caps
  • Carbon Fiber rear spoiler
  • Carbon Fiber rear diffuser
  • Bridgestone Potenza RE980 Plus all around
  • Wheel alignment

In the next couple of weeks, I'll have the following installed:
  • FabSpeed downpipe (catted)
  • CTS Race FMIC
  • Carbon Fiber front lip M-tech style
  • Carbon Fiber side skits M-tech style

Hope you guys like/appreciate. I'm loving the car, including my crazy commute 2-3 times a week at 2.5hrs a day.

I am considering upgrading the tuning. I ran the jb4 on my 335i, and despite some of the negative feedback on them, I actually enjoyed it with no issues. The current jb4 cannot be adjusted, but it's been good so far.
