For Sale: BMW 335i AutoX Car
Welcome everyone,
If you made it this far then chances are that you might be interested in checking out my AutoX car that I have for sale. You might be wondering why is this guy building an entire web site just to sell his car when there are so many platforms out there on which he can post an advertisement. Well, the truth is, none of them give me the ability to present my car the way I want to. Also, I am selling a pretty special car, so I thought I should sell it in a special way.
So what’s so special you ask?! I mean after all BMW made hundreds of thousands of 335i out there, so why is this one special?
This car was built very carefully and meticulously over the course of the past 10 years. The car was built primarily for AutoX and the occasional HDPE event. Therefore this car is setup for grip, consistency and reliability! This meant no overheating issues, no brake fade issues, no overboost issues, no fueling issues, no tuning issues. Overall, this car has seen only about 10 – 12 HDPE events combined over the last 10 years.
Basically, my mantra was to overbuild everything and have a huge margin in reserve, just in case. For an example, the clutch kit is warrantied to handle up to 670 wtq, but the car only produces 420wtq. The intercooler can support 1000hp, but the car only makes 380whp.
Most BMW 335i cars out there on the market are have been heavily modified and heavily abused with cheap mods. Most of the “tuners” out there wanted to see how far they can push the power output with a specific budget. In the end, you see a lot of broken and badly tuned cars which have been abused all the time. In many cases people just did cheap turbo mods, without any regards to other very important parts of the equation like suspension, brakes, safety, tires, traction, etc.
This is perhaps the most well built E9x vehicle I’ve seen in the Midwest
