Kinda.

But the M3 as the EDC, electronic dampening control.

So most people dont want to take that out since its nice to adjust it on the fly within the cabin. So just take the stock springs out and leave the EDC (shocks) in.

Ah ok, I forgot about EDC (which is silly because it's like my fav feature of the M3). So it makes sense to just do springs then rather that coil overs.

Bavarian soundwerks makes a 10" sub that fits in our trunk tray. Hope that helps.

If you read the fitments, that BSW sub does not fit 335's because of the dual exhaust.

Should have installed them yourself.

I did on my last BMW...

That would be quite fun actually, stepping out of an M3 to get into an NSX.

I've been thinking hard about wheels but I don't think alot of the wheels that look good on the coupes would look as good on the sedans. Those come to mind immediately.

I think the stock 19's look cool. I am leaning towards getting a set of those.

Normally, I would be inclined to agree... But, I think smoked tails go well with the tinted windows (although I'm biased), especially on a white car.

I think it's hot.

^ I like stock with 19s as well enough that I wouldn't touch it, but still I like what he did to his car minus the white lines and tinted rears.

I am trying to figure out where you guys get all this money.
I can't get myself to spend 10k in mods. I feel so insecure.

i am thinking stock 19's w/ vortinser front and the rears. I superstock kinda look.

i feel like i missed my window to mod cars. Too old now.
