With snow tires on, the 1er is a cream puff in the snow.

Until something hits the rear window... (w/ ice and defroster going)

That hurts.. Dam home fragrance oil.

Elwood74 · 12-15-2013, 09:08 PM

Side note, windows up, the exhaust sounds good. Windows down, the exhaust sounds great. With windows up and rear glass removed, the exhaust sounds PHENOMENAL! I recommend y'all trust me on this one.

What the hell? How did that happen?

Good question. Happened 3 miles from home while driving to work. That bottle was found in the shop vac after cleanup.

This reminds me, I got a nice sized rock chip in my windshield on my way to work the other dead. It hit the windshield dead center, startled the heck out of me.

I have to say BMW windshields are really / cheap. This is my 4th windshield chip (3 on my Z4), all 4 were repaired by Safelite. Never had an issue on my VW and Infiniti however.

YES...it's called a convertible 135is. Ask me how I know.

(Sorry you had to find out the hard way. Hope the repair goes smoothly.)

Just scheduled my break-in service for next Monday, I'm at 1500 miles so its a little late but better than waiting till 15k!

Wait, is the inside of your exhaust dirty also? Already know that part is rowdy and loud. =P

Something is wrong when you're gearing up for snow and it's going to be 84 in LA tomorrow. I better find a jacket!

IEDEI - I'm jealous of your style 68s. I had no clue they'd fit an E82. Would have made my winter rim search/purchase very different!

3002 tii · 12-17-2013, 09:04 AM

White stuff makes even OEM 17's look good!!

amazingly they fit PERFECTLY! no spacers or anything. on 225s all around. I didn't know they would fit either til i randomly came across a photo of an E82 on M68s....and then scoured around and found a set of black ones super cheap. paid $200 for them!

Feel your pain, I have an 85 mile round trip commute that takes me through 3 states (NJ->NY->CT). Today I rolled in late on purpose to wait out the traffic.

Undid the delivery "detail" and gave her a fresh coat of wax. Couple of question for my fellow IS'ers.

Is it too late to get in on the group buy of the M Performance badge and PPK stickers? I too do not have them anywhere on the car.

What PSI are the factory Bridgestone Potenza RFT's supposed to be at? Door jamb indicates 36 fronts and 39 rears. When I checked my pressure all 4 were at 46 PSI.

A few shots to comply with the thread title. M goodies.....Yeah, yeah, I know. Not really powered by //M.

mb135is · 12-17-2013, 07:14 PM

Go with the door jam pressures. 46 is way too high.
