YEZZIR - I'll take them off you for a bargain if your price is right??
I'll likely be doing the brakes around easter time hopefully - would be a good compliment for it.
Quick plan around Easter is:
Buy All new quality discs, pads and maybe these...
Send wheels away for refurb / use black ones whilst away
When wheels come back, up on the lift, wheels off, clean all around wheel wells, replace the above
remove back box and make the mod on it, waxoil below whilst its off
remove side undertrays, clean and waxoil, refit undertrays
clean and paint anything below thats looking grubby
New tires on refurbed rims, fit spacers.
Good tight Clean inside and out.
it wont be a perfect recondition in below but as long as it protects it for the years to come - Im used to getting cars that either have been done before or too far gone to care at this point but this is the newest car ive ever had so would like to take preventative measures now, whether i keep it or sell it on.
@TalkToFrank adjust to decrease wastegate rattle which is a common issue on these

Ah right, probably could do with that then, whilst the rattle fix through the map has helped, it still rattles.... Never noticed before but the cats must have dampened it

Micro update !
Have the car it's first coat of wax since it was buffed and protected, must have been washed 20 times since and I'm glad to see no swirls still.
Also had a go at wrapping all the interior trim... Looks ok from far but if I want perfection I'll have to get a pro for I've no patience for it, steering wheel ended up alright though!
So I've discs and pads ordered with @Woodcutter and the braided lines from @Boabybooster and will tackle them once I've my wife's cars brakes sorted & serviced.

Next will be the brakes and cleaning under each corner, then after that will be the exhaust mod but only until it's through mot (17th May) for I don't want to have to worry about it for a long while!
Aye it's nice enough and the fuel bill is fairly dampened cause I don't get to drive it too often, would be too brutal on fuel to keep if you had to drive it every day! Stewart your mate? That jeep he had was some tool!

That would be a boaker! Since I got it, I only had use of it 1 week in August, 4 days in October, Christmas period and then since 22nd of this month but still have managed 5 tanks through it so I couldn't imagine what it'd be like every single day.

Think I was averaging low 30s so not horrendous. Probably should get a derv for my commute but could never bring myself to it.

Fine looking car & I'm sure it goes well to. These looking great in the touring style !when i was looking for a 335d to buy it had to be either the saloon or the touring. Generally speaking in most cars i prefer a coupe ( as they look more sporty & stuff) but i think in these e90s the saloon or touring look abit more macho or something lol, i think the coupes look abit " hairdressery" lol anyway best o luck with it mate.

Ok so I have the discs and pads from woodcutter and the braided front brake lines from boabybooster sitting, and also bought a set of wheels from supermoto_77.
The original plan was to clean under all 4 corners, re-paint the brakes, fit the lines, discs and pads and once the wheels come back from re-furb that would complete the puzzle.
Only, after a test fit, I'm not that decided on the wheels!
Give me a hand guys, mv4s or inspiri? I'll attach a photo of the colour I was thinking...
That colour...
Stance is better but do they cheapen the look of the car??

Don’t be ruining it with mid Ulster spec wheels.

Lol that was more or less my reaction:
‘Only kitted 320D’s leased to the balls wear them’
Worth experimenting buddy. I got it wrong not so long ago
