Bagged and Stanced my 135i . . .

[SchnellFowVay]

Just Kidding.

But I did have KW coilovers and new wheels installed. I also added a BMW Performance carbon fiber rear lip.

Enjoy. I will have better pictures later.



***EDIT***

Both of my dSLR's are being serviced by Nikon currently, so all I currently have is a RAW-shooting P7100. So I couldn't use any filters, etc. That said, I got a few more shots of my car in the harsh sun. Also, I took a video of how horrible the N55 sounds with a downpipe (it sounds like a farm tractor). It's so bad I may go back to the stock downpipe. This is a known issue among N55 tuners.






Here you will notice my screwed up front bumper, and the BMW Performance Shadowline kidney grills I installed (to replace the chrome-looking ones that came with the car).


Crappy pic, but you can see the BMW Performance Carbon Fiber Lip. I normally hate unpainted carbon fiber, but I like this for some reason.


Here's a crappy picture that illustrates my location. If you look closely, across the desert, you can see the LV Strip.


Here is an old pic from a few months ago of my interior.



And below is the video of my ****ting sounding tractor exhaust.
And to the right, you can see my wife's 128i with the now-infamous navigation system of doom

Looks good. I looked at the title then straight at the picture and was confused for a minute.

Came in expecting this:

[Heffernan]

[emmettlodge]

Came all puffed up to roid rage on idiots on the internet. Leaving deflated and lonely.

Great looking car

Great looking car

Thanks!

It's like 110 degrees out here today with harsh sunlight. Not great for pictures, and not great for being outside. I wil try to take some pics tonight!

[hipster.]

Good luck with all of those road raging women in their huge Yukons blaring their horns at you while you try to make it across and intersection.

[Murderface]

Came in expecting retarded looking car.

Saw awesome looking car.

Not sure if disappoint.

[Noisyninja]

Looks awesome. If I was to buy a new 135i, I would have gone with the exact same color combo and options.

[Aonarch]

I came in here ready to hate as hard as I can.

NVM carry on.

[homercles337]

You know my blood pressure is high, why do you do this to me? I love that car, that was my pick if could not get the R.

[DerSpiegel]

Just Kidding.

[bomberman447]

Came to hate, looks good though.
No one knows what it takes to drive so low though or whatever that thread was

[E34M50]

A lot of people are missing out on the amount of Win in this thread.

Lol Stance...

Why do this to a leased vehicle? Are you planning on purchasing it afterward?

[arethirdytwo]

Those are bolt ons easily removed. Reps too unless I am mistaken?

A suspension job isn't "easily removed." I don't think he did the work himself.

Next mod: window tint.

Looks great!

What makes you think that it's leased?

I purchased it in 2010 when BMW had 0.9% financing . . .

I know of plenty of 135i owners that do the same thing and then have massive part-outs when their lease is up over on 1addicts. It's a common thing.

Trying to buy a 135i ASAP, this topic is not helping!

[SchnellFowVay]

It's pretty easily removed. $350 + 3 hours + alignment.

Not to mention that if I ever decide to trade the car in, you can usually negotiate to have the dealership swap in the stock suspension as part of the deal (they prefer the car stock anyway).

Next mod: window tint.

Looks great!

Thanks for not adding an s at the end of that four letter word.

[muffintop]

Looks good, now get some 20% tint all the way around and you'll be golden. (and have a less sweaty sack)

Because you have spoken non-stop about 1-series leases. My apologies if I forgot it was your wife's car that was leased.

Looks like a rental car if it doesn't have tint out here

I generally think tint looks ghetto. But it does have use in the Nevada desert.

It does. Don't do it.

[Son]

Brilliant. Absolutely love the exterior/interior color combo. Just wish you had the shiny window surrounds instead of the Shadowline ones. Would go great with the wheels, too.

[helement2003]

It does. Don't do it.

Except nearly everyone out here has tint. The sun is WAY too hot in summer to not have tint.
