E93 335i M Sport Highline DCT

As it is, going to have a look at one in the morning on a 10 plate with 45K on the clock, this car is very clean, and an amazing colour as well.

Any thing I should look out for?

And hear we go again, I asked a mate who happens to be a mechanic to fit my coilovers for me, it was a bitch of a job, not as straight forward as he thought. He got the levels just right, no rubbing or catching on the front wheels, the car feels a lot better as well, it doesn't wallow any more.

Gae her a wash after then followed by some photo whoring

Tiny Update

I purchased a sunglasses holder to replace the ash tray and after asking the question on the e90 forum and finding a "How To" half an hour later it was done

And on Sunday I spent almost all day cleaning my 2 baby's.
 
LCI rear light are almost on, outers are on just waiting for the boot clusters to arrive

Finally fitted some LCI rear lights to the 335, coding wasn't required so I am guessing the last owner had a set on there and removed them, what i did though was code the 4 way flashers to double blink and de badged the boot lid...

Click the link and then click open and several seconds later the clip will start, enjoy the burble

Tiny Update:

In late September I was away on my hollyboobs, Tenerife for 2 weeks and almost 30 degrees every day, while I was away the e93 went in for some paint correction, smoothed bonnet and a full mop and polish.
 
 
I collected the car on the 12th October and it looked pretty good inside under the lights, After taking her home and seeing what it was like in sunlight it went right back that weekend as I was not happy with things and as my car did not have massive swirl marks all down one side, the side that was freshly painted, I was a little pissed. Along with being able to see where the front badge was, they were told to sort it out. Now I got the car back this Saturday, it looked lot's better but it needs direct sunlight to see if its all been resolved.

Any way, bit of a bizzy Sunday just gone.

I had a mates 116d in for a service, oil/filter, air and pollen filter, fit new gloss black grills and a general clean up and polish

AND I finally fitted the ARKYM Look front splitter to the car, had this for several weeks but I needed some one to help fit it, or rather hold it in place while I did the drilling and bolting it up in place, its a very good fit and in no time it was up and in place, I also did the cowl filter replacement thing.
 
I also replaced the pollen filter with some cowl filters
 
 
The 116D, serviced, oil n filter, pollen and air filter, gloss black grills and a full wash, clay n polish
