Congratulations on the new purchase Steve! Look forward to the write up and pics.

You best get it down to UK10 on the weekend!

Nice looking car there Steve! Not many E91 335is about so nice and unique too.

How are you finding it so far?

SteveF1 · 10-26-2010, 10:28 AM

Suppose the E91 isn't a GTR but its better than what most people have to drive.

Small mercies.

Done the right thing at last (x5...what was all that about?)

swanny71 · 10-26-2010, 02:42 PM

Have a pair of brand new (boxed) OEM black grill surrounds with used but excellent condition chrome inners if they're any good to you?

I bought them from a BMW dealer in August but didn't like the fully blacked out look against Silverstone II and just used the black inners.

£55 delivered?

Hoops · 10-26-2010, 03:15 PM

Hi Swanny - thanks for the offer - do you have any pics of them fitted - just so i can get an idea - obviously i originally wanted all black grilles - but the chrome slats may well look ok too - so be great to see them fitted. I have provisionally arranged to get some brand new black grilles and dark lines fitted at MStyle tomorrow - so let me know asap if you can show me a pic.

Thanks matey - have to say i am absolutely loving it so far - its been slightly modified already and goes like absolute stink but is also very practical - best thing for me is how understated it is (totally unlike the Focus RS!!!) - will do proper write up soon - thanks again fella!

LOL - have to say the X5 was very high on my list and i did put a deposit down with a dealer for one - so came very very close - and still think its a car i will own before long - but for now the 335i Touring will do me just fine!!

Here you go mate, the chrome bits on the slats would be easy to paint black if need be - maybe what I should've done instead of spendin' £90

Hoops · 10-26-2010, 04:00 PM

They look good fella but these wont fit an E91 335i Touring anyway though will they???

No, yours is a pre-facelift model.

Hoops · 10-26-2010, 04:06 PM

Thanks Will - ive got the car provisionally booked in tomorrow with Mstyle to have Dark Lines and Kidneys fitted - so will probably go with that option anyway.
