Some reason those pictures make it seem a lot bigger than a 5 series. What are your plans for this car? I saw you had at least a tune on the 335i. Are you generally a fan of BMW or did you look at other cars before switching to the 5 series? Or did they just offer a better deal to keep you in a BMW?
I drive an S4 with the twin turbo V6, so I definitely respect the 335i and the twin turbo 6 cylinder engine. I'm a bit more of an Audi fan, so I'll probably favor a newer Audi a bit more, but there's a decent chance I'd consider the 335i as my next car just because it seems like such a great platform to work on and I'm guessing the aftermarket development will continue for quite a while.
Are there any huge differences in terms of layout for the engine components on the 535i or are most modifications compatible between the 2?

nice pick! LOVE the new 5 series compared to the last gen. Did your e90 have the N54? If so that would answer 8Maniac's question. They are relatively the same engine, except the N55 puts out a tad bit more torque at lower RPM's compared to the 54. I believe peak torque is reached at 1200rpm compared to the n54's 1300rpm. It is actually expected that the 135 will inherit the n55.
edit: my mistake, 2011 models of all 1/3/535i's have the N55

whats the ETA on those forgestars? just wondering because i have the f14's n' they took forever (well, maybe not compared to some) to get n' i even picked them up from their warehouse.
ADV1's would be nice...i'd love those...that is if i had a first born to put up as a down payment

nice car but not a huge fan of the color.
I've never really liked white cars but I'm sure yours will look pretty sick once your'e done with it
