from mitsu to bmw...

not sure how many of you still remember me!

but this is what i drove last year

i still miss the evo, but i do love many things about the 07 335i i replaced it with.
I am thinking about powdercoating my wheels and blacking out the window trim to match a few CF pieces I have on the trunk and front lip... what do you all think?

PS if anyone needs any powdercoating done in chicago, PM me for more info on the shop Im going to ( maybe we can geat a group deal going)

Nice! I would personally prefer a 4 door 335i but hey the coupe is badass. What mods if any are you planing on doing to the twin turbo beast?

I Love the 335IX my friend has one with K&N filters, hard pipes and a ecu flash he's making like 380ish feel real good. The only thing I don't really like is the interior it's tooo tight and snug.
