Thats a hell of a deal.

Not sure how the IS-F has more room for a car seat than your 335i did?

Look into a true limited slip, the 08/09 IS-F have open differentials....do that before anything.

You can't tune the car like your 335i, so when you go putting headers on the car, you have to use some sort of Oxegyn sensor simulator that have caused members problems in the past...

O2 sim is fine if you install it correctly so the wires dont get melted. Thats the cause of the CELs

Congrats on the new F, that's was a sweet deal for sure. Def look into a rear diff. I plan on adding one myself right after the ECU upgrade when one comes available that is.

335i was a coupe. Rear facing convertible seat just didn't work with 2 doors. ISF isn't spacious but ingress and egress for the baby is much easier with 4 doors. We have a RX350 also for longer trips so ISF is just for short trips if needed with my kid.

Congrats Man! Once you get the funds, go visit Paul with PPE in Tempe and have him install a set of his headers and exhaust. You will not regret it one bit I promise. I live in Tucson but make it up to Phoenix on a regular basis. One of these days I hope to make it up there for a IS-F meet when and if there is one.

It can't be said enough how much of an awesome deal that was! Glad it worked out for you! And as a former 335i owner, trust me when I tell you that you won't miss that bimmer one bit!
