Hey folks its been some years since I have been away from the E9X platform. I sure do miss it for the N52 and the overall quality and handling - so after an E90 LCI 328i Automatic and an E90 330i 6MT I am happy to have found a minty 2008 328i Coupe Black on Cream with 96k Miles. Previous owner garage kept it for 16 years all stock so its in really nice condition. I am going to build it for HPDE and weekend driving so not a race car but something that handles nicely and sounds good. Its also going to be pretty budget friendly. Ultimately I want it to have a 3 Stage Intake Manifold and basically be a 330i Coupe. I should be able to get that done in a couple weeks as the last mods along with maintenance - valve cover gasket etc.

As I bought it - all stock well kept






I bought the car knowing I wanted to modify it so I got a lot of parts within the first 30 days of owning it.

How it sits now. I call it Cookies and Cream lol. It drives so nice, turns very flat and also very smooth with the sway bars. The Orange Koni and H&R Sport are super nice combo. The JDM style exhaust was something I always wanted and it sounds amazing like the bmw performance exhaust a little but louder. The overall Black and Chrome / Silver Theme I think goes well with the "luxury" cream interior. So no black out grills and trims etc. Can't wait to do an HPDE at Sebring hopefully next month!

I’d change the kidney grills to black.

I’d also have second thoughts on the wheels.

Love the e92 coupe.
