Hi guys,

I've been lurking for a fair while but haven't really introduced myself here just yet. I bought my 130 last February and since I've bought some bits from Stu @ BMR (very helpful I'm sure most of you already know). I've also bought some wheels from Apex & replaced the rft's with some PS3! So I thought it was about time I took some photos and showed you all my 1er...

2006 130i (with the factory M-Sport as usual for the Australian 130's)
- Blackline LCI's
- BMWP Intake
- Staggered 1er fitment APEX EC-7's 18", 8.5 et45 (F) 9.5 et58 (R)
- 225/40R18 & 255/35R18 Michelin PS3
- I have a shark fin aerial that I've been too lazy to install too, so that will go on at some point.

What's next?
How long is a piece of string...

Nicely done and welcome to the forum

Alpine* · 01-14-2013, 03:59 AM

Nice machine, great colour! Welcome.

Scoobs · 01-14-2013, 04:05 AM

Loving that colour. Reminds me of a Topaz blue e46 I had.

Rob32R · 01-14-2013, 05:25 AM

Such a neat and tastefully modified 130i. Welcome to the forum!

Good luck with further progress

Yeah Le Mans Blue, how'd you guess? haha

Thanks guys, I'll have to try and make it to a cruise/meet sometime soon & put some names to faces.

Welcome !

Welcome to the club.

Those rims look great.

nasperated · 01-22-2013, 05:20 AM

That's nicely done mate. I have the same car in black, with the original 17"s. I have blackline LCI's without the LEDs. Did you put the LEDs on yours? If so, do you mind me asking how you went hooking them up to the number-plate lamps? I've heard it's a bit tricky, thought I'd see how you got on.

Oh, and where did you have your paint done?

Cheers.

37&TenCents · 01-26-2013, 03:13 PM

Cheers, I bought the Hi version lights (with the LED strips), there's a sort of write-up between me and another member here in this thread.
As for paint, it was only the shark fin so I wasn't too fussed about going to a brilliant paint shop. I just went somewhere local (Castle Hill)...

MrBlonde · 01-26-2013, 05:50 PM

Tidy rig

cartaa100 · 02-01-2013, 05:36 AM

RimasRS · 02-02-2013, 05:12 AM

+1 tell us more about your wheels, how does it compared with other aftermarket ones? Where did you purchase it? How much was it?

Cheers

That reminds me... I still have to install that shark fin I got off you

Car looks great in LeMans Blue. My old 120i was the same colour and I think it's one of the best colours!

I bought them direct from APEX, they were very helpful (especially with customs stuff). They sent them express too so they only took about 4 days to show up! Considering that I thought the shipping cost was pretty good as well.

Also, I weighed the wheels before they went on (I know APEX list the weights on their site but I was curious). Fronts were about 8.6kg and rears 9.2kg.
For Reference, the standard style 208's were about 11 - 11.5kg from memory.

Thanks, I'm loving the colour! But I think I would've been happy with any of blue, black, grey/graphite.
