Building a BMW - need help

Ok so I am just about to buy a 335 and now I have a shopping list and need to know where the best place I can get all the parts. I have come up with the following:

Wheels: BBS LM's 19" x 8.5 and 19" x 9.5 offset 35
Bodykit: Vorsteiner M3 Replica kit with carbon fiber front lip and M3 style hood

Engine: Procede update if available however it looks like there is a GIAC dealer in HK so may have to go with that.
- Activewerke Intercooler with Diverter Valve
- Vanguard or Eisenmann Race exhaust - what is available?
- Injen CAI in black

Suspension: H&R sport springs

Does anyone have any recommendation on tuner shop / installation shops? Paint shops?

I heard there was a place in Fotan that does good paint work? I live in Shatin so that would be perfect if anyone has the address? Otherwise it looks like everyone uses Deutschland Auto and Valiant.

Main issue is where can I source the parts? I sourced a shop called jw-tuning.com which has some of the M3 replica parts. Has anyone used them?

Sorry for all the questions ... I have built cars in the states and done most of my work however HK seems really difficult to me and there is no where for me to work on my car.

Any help would be much appreciated ... I look forward to meet up with you guys.

I assume you are getting the E92, but the new LCI headlight will be different than the current M3, so you might run into problem with the Vorsteiner M3 kit.

I am looking at a 08 E92 ... So do I have to change the lights too or can I adjust the M3 bumper to fit?

Thanks for the info
