New 335d owner

ASBSECU E93 · 09-22-2016, 08:38 PM

So, brought this beast home tonight

The modding has already begun - LED interior swap complete, black kidney grills swapped, and garage door programmed. I didn't have painters tape, or I would have changed the 335d to blacked letters.

Future mods - BPC Stage II plus and Water/meth tank for the trunk

Thinking about black powder coat for the rims...?

I think silver wheels go great with red car. We're all different though.

All the other trim will be black (shadow line) as soon as the letters are done on the trunk. I had hoped to pickup a set of 219's and keep them gunmetal, but they won't fit.

I have stock 220's on my M3 with chrome trim, chrome kidney and chrome door trim. I like that look, but only with chrome accents.

Thumbs up for the stock pic. Love the way red looks on a sport pack 335d.

Welcome. I have 219s on my car with stock sport suspension. No fitment problems but I do get a slight rub over fast bump/dips in the road.

Here's the only picture of my car I have available on the internet.

get the letters from BIMMIAM.com as i did for my 335d in orange red for my montego blue

Used my Carly app to check codes - this code is the only one I found. Googled - without much success....I know it has something to do with the exhaust or DPF?

If you're planning to do the deletes I wouldn't worry about that code. Seems to be either nox sensors or the scr. You will need none of them after the tune

ASBSECU E93 · 09-23-2016, 08:46 AM

Hooper - I was hoping that to be the case as well. Thanks!

BB_cuda · 09-23-2016, 09:06 AM

Could be a caked up metering valve needing cleaning. I confess to not being an SCR system expert. I just know that I found mine to be a crusted up mess even after Ecotune "coded the DEF/SCR system" off. I hadn't seen the problem further since switch to JR Auto tune.

As Hooper says, after you get tuned this concern will be gone.

One thing to keep in mind. There have been instances of where somebody had trouble brewing before getting the systems deleted and then when they got the computer back they still had a few hurdles to clear due to the "before" situation.

What I gained from reading about those was to try to have everything at a clean slate if possible prior to switching over. Your tuner is the best person to discuss with though. Maybe things are easier in that regard now.

how aggressive is your tire set-up?

ride quality?

Back tire sidewall looks pretty thin....

4d16 is a generic "something is wrong with the SCR/DEF system". There could be about a dozen things wrong that cause it: DEF metering valve (injector), NOx sensors, SCR catalyst, engine thermostat!, sensors in the DEF tank, etc.

255/35/18 on the rear, 235/40/18 on the front. I can post pics from other angles if you want to see.

Looks pretty similar to mine!
