Sean Rho purchased the 2012 BMW 335i because of the unique features it presented at the time of its release. “At the time, it was the only vehicle that was equipped with a turbo, 6-speed manual and AWD, and a coupe that was under $60,000,” Rho recalls. “It has an elegant medium between sport, luxury, and comfort.” Having installed dozens of aftermarket parts, Rho says his build is nearly complete, with only a wide body or new wheels being the final modifications.
