STi to 335i new member :)

va05sti · 12-18-2011, 09:12 PM

Well i have been on here for a wile now i was searching for a car for about a month i wanted a pretty specific car i got exactly what i wanted and then some. 2008 white black interior, 6 speed, nav, heated seats, comfort access and premium audio with 45k miles.

Due to a fire in my 05 sti that i loved. i have owned the sti since 4 miles about 5 years and 114k miles did a lot of long road trips and had a lot of great times in the car. A rod broke in the motor spilling oil on the the header and catching it on fire. The fire was not that bad but even a small fire can put a car at a total loss. so instead of fixing it witch i could have done i decided it was time to upgrade to something a little more classy yet fast.

The sti was pretty built and made 370 hp to the wheels and 350tq and was daily driven.

the sti

car last week 100 stock 273 hp 286 tq

Congrats man. If all goes well I'll be trading in my evox tommorow for an 09 335i with sport pkg.

SilverII · 12-18-2011, 09:44 PM

Alen E90 · 12-18-2011, 10:09 PM

congratssss

Chicks-Love-Bimmers · 12-18-2011, 10:27 PM

Congrats, I use to have an STi and I must say the 335i is definitely faster! I do miss the AWD grip my STi had though. Get a tune if you haven't already!

Charlie90M3 · 12-18-2011, 10:27 PM

A tune, intercooler and upgraded oil coolers will do wonders..

jpirelli · 12-18-2011, 10:33 PM

Welcome. Put pink wheels on the 335 too. Would be unique.

va05sti · 12-18-2011, 11:54 PM

Pink wheels have crossed my mind but i bought the sti white and had gold wheels on it for a wile then i had black wheels. thinking i may do white and black again will bring back some memories of the sti when i was like 19.

Upon closer inspection I realized you painted factory EVOX wheels pink lol.

The great thing about modding this car is you only need a few thousand dollars to make it a beast. Tune, DP's, intercooler and intake and you're putting down some very nice numbers. Also, the future should be very bright for tuning the N54. Welcome and hopefully you do not have pink wheels on order

apc3libras · 12-19-2011, 11:30 AM

Very nice. Congrats!

datbimmerdoe · 12-19-2011, 02:50 PM

huge step up, congrats!

FI · 12-19-2011, 06:31 PM

Former sti and Evo owner here too. We are much better off now.

va05sti · 12-19-2011, 08:33 PM
