No leaks....i did get one or 2 drops come in from when washing the carwash with powerfull pressure washer, but thats normal and would only happen if intense pressure is applied. Other then that, all month we've had strong rain and not a single leak

The pipes are a lil hidden cos of the diffuser, but aint as bad as i thought it would be before i fitted it on. Its only when you stand right close to the car and look down that they look hidden.

That looks really nice and some great pics of the car at different angles.

How did you manage to find an empty car park in London or was it around Essex lol.

Presumably you're enjoying the car so far?

Wafik, the car looks stunning matey, the metallic really shows up in some of those shots

Where did you get your rear black badges from - I have been looking everywhere for a black one that has the mono 'M' stripes in. Can only find the one with the red/blue stripes. I have converted my chrome badge to black/grey/silver stripes using vinyl but would like black badges now.

A few drops of water after a pressure washer on it is normal. My vert used to let in more than that with a pressure on it lol

Enjoy it mate, it really looks the dogs doo dahs!!

Thanks mate...lol yeah in Ilford Essex...had to go right to the very top of the carpark to get empty area. All the lower levels were full.

I am enjoying the car so far, sounds very mean n beasty. However the 335i did feel faster on acceleration...that car used to really shit me up sometimes. But i still have not worn the engine in yet...got about 300 miles to go till the service. After that i can really test it out...and im sure it will be a blast!

Thanks mate...i ordered them of Jlevi, they sell them there....and sell all the strip overlays too...You can just spray your one since you already put the stripes on? or if you decide to buy it, they have it for $30 and $10 for the mono stripes (or any other colour stripes)

Spot on Wafik - and this is from a man who isn't that keen on white cars (usually).

If you have kept it below the rev limit that BMW recommend then yes, the 335i will defo have felt faster.

Once run in and serviced, wait until you press the M button and take it up to 8400RPM. Thats when it really roars and the engine comes into a different league. You will be changing out of first and then hitting the perfect spot in second, the same in third and so on.

A fast launch with DCT set on S5, banging seamlessly through the gears makes an awesome sound and feels very quick! Defo quicker than a stock 335i.

Just a shame, that a quick re-map on a 335d or 335i and there just as quick as even a modded emtree.

I can only presume wafik has nailed the M, otherwise pointless even saying the 335i ''feels'' faster if he aint actually mullered the M.

As I said when you posted the garage shots about a month ago it's absolutely stunning. The only thing I'd change is to have black leather as a greater contrast to the exterior colour but, that said, I truely wouldn't kick-off if someone offered it to me.

Other than the fantastic colour what options have you bolted on?
