Hey IEDEI -- you spamming troll

Ha, welcome to the board and beautiful color combo, before I got my black on black i contemplated a CB with white interior from CA, but the blue stitching sold me on the car i have now

Oh and I almost never use my paddles to downshift nor upshift in M mode, I always always use the shifter, makes me feel like i'm racing old school at LeMans or something along those lines

Speaking of dirty cars, I don't think I've washed my poor 135is in over 2 months... The stupid salt is starting to take its toll on the exhaust tips

3002 tii · 02-05-2015, 08:31 PM

Roads have been caked with salt for last 2 weeks. Thank god I have a clear bra.

If only I could convince my wife to wear one.

Wow is all I can say. And here I am all frustrated it rained on my car a couple of times in the past two weeks.

When's the performance wheel going on?

Still on its way here... and not to mention we're supposed to get snow this weekend and sub-freezing temps (when you factor wind chill) so may not get around to it.

By the way, any chance someone can measure the diameter of the PE exhaust tips where they meet the muffler, as well as their overall length? I suspect the ID 2.25" (measured from outside will probably be more like 2.3-2.4"). I can't seem to find my digital caliper.

PS I resisted the urge to make a wife joke lol

Luckily, I only have a wife for purposes of making great jokes.

Since I'm such a nice guy (ask my wife!), I'll nominate/volunteer Rick (CAVU) perhaps to measure for you since I know he has a digital caliper. =)

Unfortunately, according to punxsutawney phil, there will be 6 more weeks of winter. I'm predicting March 21 for spring. Then PSS will go back on cars and life will be good again.

I know a few of you like 3002 tii and Worra and maybe another 1 or 2 have the genuine bmw carbon fiber diffuser and wondering if everyone still loves it and thinks it's worth the huge cost? Or if it in some way diminishes the look in any way after living with it for awhile. Never seen one in person and many feel it's a natural fit for the PE. I dunno, just bored and may get my car something nice. Plus, I think even my crippled butt could install that.

I love it. I got mine at a discount, which made a big difference in my decision to get it. It pairs really nicely with the CF rear spoiler. Definitely sets off the rear of the car when viewed from any angle. Install was ridiculously easy.

Hmmm... there is exhaust pipe between the tips and the muffler. Are you looking for the OD of the tips where they meet the pipe, or the OD of the pipe where it meets the muffler (which is 2.33")?

The overall length of the tips is 4.1" to the forward edge of the weld.

I have an eBay replica and I absolutely love it. I know it's not the BMWP one and the quality might not be as nice, however at a fraction of the original cost I am more than pleased. Fitment is 9/10 but no one else would know unless they got real close and touched it.

gregthegr8 · 02-09-2015, 08:28 PM

To those of you who don't like where your 135is badge is located, or how secure it is and then touch mine, umm, this used one seems to have it...in the bottom of the center arm rest storage bin?!

Edit - I had to remove the picture from the quote because the proliferation of it as people try to respond is more than I can stomach as I eat breakfast. I guess IEDEI is at a loss for words.

You're right, we could be driving a 2-series. =P I assume he's there to install someone's performance steering wheel, too.

Well, at least it's pretty obvious where your bmw model is hiding his ///M235 badge.
