Newbie here with some mod question

yagami1031 · 01-19-2012, 04:25 AM

Hi everyone,
I just purchased a 07 335i coupe, it is a cpo vehicle, i am planning on adding a vishnu PROcede program and AP exhaust, i am not planning on crazy modification but just enough to drive every day and also be comfortable, i also interested in front strut brace, anyone have any suggestion for a good one? and is there anything that is a must mod you guys would suggest?

btw, anyone live in the bayarea california and can recommend a good tune-up shop here?

thanks for helping,

Go to Vishnu. They're in the Bay Area.

After the visit, post if you're modding appetite still isn't satisfied.

I concur!

. After Procede, go with PWM meth. You won't be hankering for more power. Feel free to call and we can help you with your decision making process.

You can upgrade to M3 struts!

Strut brace doesn't help noticeably on these cars. They're pretty rigid from the factory. Spend the money on the Procede and PWM meth. I'm SO happy I did. I didn't install the meth kit for a while after purchasing it, and after I did, I kicked myself for waiting so long.

Best upgrade to the suspension - aside from fixing worn parts - is Michelin Pilot Super Sports. No other tire has the grip (wet or dry), comfort, and low noise all in the same tire. I can't sing the praises of Michelins enough!

Those are the only things on my 335: Michelins, Procede, and PWM meth. And I'm coming from an E36 M3 with over $20k in parts upgrades - Ohlins race dampers, Euro 3.2L engine, built diff, Sparco seats, PFC brakes, etc. This car is so much better, and will be faster on track than the E36.

M3 struts are larger in diameter and don't slip into the spindle.

whoops youre right, I just seen many members do it. as a DIY

http://billswebspace.com/335M3StrutB...stallation.htm but is not a bolt on and does require some work.

Cusco, Racing dynamics, i think Dinan and other have strut braces.
