The Car is DONE. No I really mean it this time. Last set of mods were suspension bits, tires and alignment. Alignment specs below.

I bought this car last fall knowing it was the last of a special breed. I told myself not to go down the aftermarket route because I wanted to keep the car close to factory as possible. The goal was to keep the mods subtle while still enhancing the aggressive lines of the 135i. I even went light on tints to detract any unwanted attention although they're still effective in keeping the heat out.

The car is a keeper (I log 20k/yr) and I've done oil changes with BMW Castrol 5w-30 every 5k. The only thing I'm holding out for is a Quaife DCT 2.56 but I don't see a used one coming around soon, and it's only more of a necessity if she sees track time. I may consider replacing the suspension with the BMW PS if/when the stock shocks are blown. But for now this is how she sits.

Will follow up with pictures once weather clears up and give her a nice detail.
