No love for my E91?

[Kevin_The_Clean1]

I sure wish we could get the E91 335i wagon with the N55 over here.

[oVeRdOsE.]

oh, it's from factory?!

Sweet ! any interior pics?

Yeah, we didnt get those in north america, I had to make one.

and ''while'' I was there, I slap a big top mount turbo.

Now working in the interior, I really wanted a fully loaded 335 E91, and almost there ! Im trying to source a m pack rear bumper. But Ive sourced most m stuff so far.

[CoralRed]

Love it! I’m going to be in Amsterdam visiting family in August… wish I could bring one of these home with me!

[dutch79]

Yes, a E91 is quite common in Europe. Mine is from the last year of production: 2012. So, LCI and with the N55 (single turbo) and also the last year BMW used hydraulic power steering.
Currently MHD Stage 1 (335 hp). Stage 2 will be 360 en 2+ is about 380 hp.

[Kevin_The_Clean1]

Do you happen to know the offset of those 513 wheels... ? I may be getting a set of style 359 wheels (squared setup too) & running 255 fronts & 265 rears. Wondering if the 255 PS4S tire rubs at all.

I have a 2011 M-Sport & I already rub slightly on my style 219 wheels with a 245 PS4S up front. But I'm assuming that's only because of the offset of those E90 M3 OEM winter wheels.

[dutch79]

I have 4 frontwheels of the F8X 513M by the way.
Those are 9J ET29. Don't rub with 255/35/18 PS5.
Nicely flush and no spacers needed. Perfect.

[Raghza]

Lovely car and those rims look really good!
Where did you get the BMW 335i license plate thing? It would be great for taking pictures

[dutch79]

Those are coming from the BMW dealer. Easy to buy over here in Europe.

Another upgrade:

Racing Dynamics Carbon Air Intake

[dutch79]

MHD Stage 2 was flashed (new 2.xx map from the F-serie PWG) + Wagner catted Downpipe.



It is fast!

[PunsGalore]

Wish we got a 335i E91 in the states.

[eljay]

Looks great and goes great!

Loving those 513M wheels! I wish there were narrower versions as I would love to get those, but my 225/40R18 tires are not wide enough for 9" wheel and I'm not keen on going to a wider tire.

[sylvestercro]

That car looks great! Congrats

[TeeUp]

I like the black trims. Great looking car!

[dutch79]

(T)rims? They are not black. These are the OEM F8X M3/M4 forged wheels. It's a sort of gunmetal grey.
Several other upgrades coming. Need some time and better weather to install...

What's not to love about that E91? My first BMW was an E46 325Cic in Titanium Silver and I loved it. I'd add M Sport bumpers then it'd be perfection, that air box is amazing.

[dutch79]

There might be an upgrade coming with regard to the bumper(s)...

[RabRS]

I like this a lot. I’m also interested in where you got the catted down pipe? I would like a DP but can’t be bothered with the hassle of not having a cat..

That Wagner still has a cat. OP Very nice car you have their.

[dutch79]

A walnutblast, transmission service and new valve cover was recently done.

Today I finished the upholstery of Sattelbraun leather on the interior trim:

Another upgrade:

Mosselman Oil Thermostat
