Not available anymore - One of a kind E92 335D - Stage 3
Guys it really hurts me to do this but i might have to sell my pride and joy. I have baby on the way and we are in the process of moving house, and thinking about the long term of my family's future, i am thinking it may be better to sell the car.
This car has been very tastefully modded and no expense has been spared. It is a 2008 (58) E92 335D SE in Sparkling Graphite with Coral Red interior, but a lot has changed since then. Mileage is 67500. I am not sure what options were standard/optional so i am listing what i think is relevant: Stock options: Professional CCC Light Package Cruise Control with Brake Function Rear PDC Split armrest Heated seats M Sport Suspension (not anymore see below) Xenon Lights (modded see below section) Sports seat Full electric memory seats Modifications Performance Turbo Dynamics Hybrid Turbos Wagner Intercooler Ecotune DPF Delete Pipe with Sports Cat Ecotune remap (with iFlash handheld device with 3 maps to choose from) Stainless Steel brake lines EBC Yellowstuff pads and Ultimax discs Handling Ohlins R&T coilovers Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires Exterior Front M Sport bumper with fog delete M3 side skirts (reps) M3 rear lip Rear M Sport bumper BMW Performance diffuser Cyba 3.8" exhaust tips Rear genuine BMW LCI lights BMW Performance kidney grills Shadowline vinyl wrap in gloss black Gloss black mirror caps LED angel eye retrofit (from Josh @ LiteAngels) Ispiri ISR10 19" alloys (8.5j and 10j) from CM Wheels around a month or 2 ago Interior M3 paddle retrofit M3 steering wheel with gloss black fascia plate BMW Performance gear knob with gaitor BMW M aluminium pedals Vinyl wrapped part of the dash trim Dashcam included Stock floor mats and winter mats included Gladen audio system with Helix P-DSP Service/Maintenance Full BMW service history plus lots of my own, as i intended too keep this car until it was 200k+. Pre 36k is listed in the service manual, don't have it right now (somewhere in my room) but it was all BMW service history. I got the car at 36k: 40k miles Engine Oil and Fuel Filter (done by myself) 44k miles Yellowstuff brake pads 48k miles 3rd Major service @ BMW(i think engine oil, microfilter and something else) 49k miles Brake fluid change and main thermostat replaced @ BMW 50k miles EGR thermostat replaced, coolant flush, and engine oil change 54k miles ATF change, brake fluid change and SS brake lines @ A1BN 57k miles Engine oil @ BMW 61k miles EBC Yellowstuff brake pads and Ultimax discs 62k miles EGR/DPF delete, PMW swirl flap blanks, breather valve and engine oil changed @ Ecotune in Glasgow (amongst the stage 3 upgrades) As you can see from the above no expense has been spared to transform this car. The Ecotune work is truly amazing, just feathering the pedal makes you feel it. The iFlash comes with 3 maps, 290bhp, 350bhp and 422bhp and can be easily switched between them via OBD. At WOT it is truly terrifying. This car would easily beat an M3 and still return over 45mpg on a steady motorway run. It goes without saying the car gets looks wherever she goes. I will also throw in custom rear swift springs (672lb.ft) and solid rear subframe bushes at asking price. Potential buyer could then decide if he wants to fit them. Considering I have spent over £7000 on this car, and a stock 2008 335d with 70-80k miles goes for 13-14k on Autotrader, i want £16,000 OVNO. No test pilots or wannabes, for a test drive you will have to provide written proof of insurance. Any one who is thinking of it, you really need to feel the power to make the decision. I can't believe i am even contemplating this. I really don't want to sell this and will still try and make it happen, but it's doubtful. If i have forgotten anything please let me know. Haven't taken any recent pics, and some of the pics below was the car returning from Glasgow without a wash: Last edited by mob17; 07-28-2015 at 08:11 AM.. |

Thats a beast!
Very tastefully moded and lot of money has been spent. Good luck with sale and I feel your pain (going through similar phase).

Thanks for all the kind words guys. It is sad i thought i would keep this forever. I don't know what made me think but the last week i've been thinking about my first child who is due to be born in a month, and just feel nows the time to start thinking about my family.
Also i think £16k is a very good price, considering the Ohlins and Stage 3 work is easily £5k! What do you guys think? Not in a huge rush to sell but wanted to give this community the first chance to buy this car, as without everyone on here i wouldn't have known how best to mod |

It's a difficult one to price a car like this really. It's too much for a normal punter who just wants an E92, but it's worth every penny to those who appreciate such a stonking car.
It'll find it's value when someone buys it! |

Good luck with your car sale, its a fantastic package, and thanks for sorting out the EBC deals for the forum members
Pistonheads would be my first bet, that's where I sold mine - reasonably quickly. You get a free 30 day advert, so theres nothing to loss from sticking it on. |

I remember your car sold pretty quickly, and i guess i'm just refraining from pistonheads as i don't want it to go. I was driving it this week in the hot weather, and i'm still very much in love. I literally feather the pedal and it flies. Guess i have more thinking to do if i really want to sell it. No matter what i get it will feel and look shit compared to this |

I feel how you are feeling. Exactly similar feeling what I had when I was contemplating the idea of selling my car. I had plan B (borrow 20K from dad and return it) but then I thought..... Sam, you do it now and do it properly. What is the point of having decent car when you have to pay back good amount of money. Made my mind and once I am on something then I do not revert back. I just hope that it goes and I do not have to use my dad like a credit card. Your car is beauty and it will sell in no time.

Wasn't expecting this Mo, but as you've said for some time family, house and baby things have been more on your mind.
Car chaps the last time I saw it was clean very clean underneath. For some one looking for a diesel with a difference you've perhaps have just found heaven GLWS and the baby |

I never expected it either but sometimes you have to make sacrifices, no matter how much they hurt, and this one does hurt! Just going to take some interior pics tomorrow then probably put it on PH for 16,995, unless i get cold feet again! |

Can't believe this is up for sale, it only seems 2 mins ago since you did the stage 3 upgrade.
If I didn't have mine this would be for me. Glws the sale mate. |

Family/House before car every time
It's got all the perfect mods, and looks fab, am sure it'll go quickly. I thought I was going to have to pay on pistonheads until the last step, where because I've been registered on there for a while got a 'free' 30 day ad.....On a side note, I hear once a sprog arrives your life is pretty much over for the next 18 years |

I'm finding it harder everyday to let go. I know its only a car but i've had some good times in this. Same with the wife, she likes it too. Suprised with her as she is always banging on about how the car is just a car lol. I can afford to keep it, it's just if i sell it i will have more money. More damn thinking required lol. Thanks Shaun. I think yours looks much better and if i do keep it i'll try and do that hump you got |
