FiRi's 335i

Ended of 2019 with the arrival of another 1st for E90s in SA.

Gts Style bonnet in steel E90. Perfect fitment and even though I ran into an issue with shoddy spray work from the 1st company we gave it to, the outcome after it went to proper panel shop was perfect.

Nothing could have prepared me for the outcome and just awesome this bonnet would turn out on the car. Very aggressive and completing the front end of the car to what it always needed to be. Completed pics belowView attachment 9530

It is often said that inanimate objects can never really bring true joy and happiness to one's life. I think us car enthusiasts will always beg to differ. The passion , dedication, sweat and countless hours we pour into these machines far outstrip the sentiments of those who feel one cannot create a bond with their vechile.

After 7 years of ownership, I had a really hard decision to make with regard to the 335 and as much as it pained me to put her up for sale, in April 2021 I put my emotions aside and posted it up on few social media whatsapp groups. As i listed the work done on the car and the list of parts and changes I made to her over the years of my ownership, it hit me whats a momentus build it really was and how blessed I was for everything the ownership of this vechile brought to my life.

I thanked God at that moment for granting me to opportunity to own a car I only dreamt of when it was released by BMW, and for giving menthe oppotunity to modify itto the car I envisioned it to be.

The car was provisionally sold within a few hours and the realization of what was transpiring finally hit home. Most were shocked as nobody including myself thought I was would ever sell, but we plan and God plans, and HE is the best of planners.

As a parting gift, my wife decided to get a video shoot and photoshoot done for me as it was something I always wanted to do. Photoshoot would be done by a close friend @Divio and the videos shoot by Dylan Shaw.

I'll post up a teaser pic of the Photoshoot and list of the final mod list of the car. Videos and album will be posted shortly as well.

What a Gem, I commend you on the passion you had for this car. All the subtle touches make it very special. Some how BMW has become a culture rather than just a brand
