At first, it might seem hard to believe but you’ll have to trust us when we tell you that this car is not a BMW E90 M3. There are a few elements pointing towards the M car but also some that give this 3 Series away.
For example, the quad tailpipes at the back would suggest that this is an M3. The front bumper (even though it’s not from an M car) also looks dangerously similar to the one used on the M, the mirrors are also sourced from an M3 but that’s about it.

On the other hand, this car doesn’t sport the traditional side gills on the front fenders, the power bulge on the bonnet and the master S65 engine under it. Yeah, this is a 335i.

The amount of add-ons it has is downright incredible, though. Performance parts went all around, from the kidney grilles to the splitter and the side skirts and then inside the cabin, in the shape of the seats, steering wheel, shift knob (and handbrake) and interior trims. 3D Design also played a big part, providing the rear spoiler, diffuser for the quad exhaust and pedal set (including the footrest).

Under the bonnet a Gruppe M cold air intake was installed alongside an N52B30 intake manifold, BMW Performance carbon fiber strut brace, IPE exhaust manifold and Eisenmann race exhaust.

Last, but not least, the wheels are coming from ATS Superlight and measure 19x8.5 inches up front and 19x9.5 inches round the back. Behind them hides a Brembo GT brake system while they are sitting under KW Coilovers V3. Share your impressions please!
