My new (to me) modded AW 135i

dak125 · 09-23-2013, 10:32 PM

I purchased this car from a fellow forum member a few weeks back. I purchased it sight unseen and had it shipped from Florida to Chicago (having never driven a 1 series). All of the modifications with the exception of the Apex wheels and Michelin PSS were installed on the car.

So far I'm thrilled with it, the car's a hooligan!

JB4, AR catless DP's, AFE exhaust, AFE DCI, Stett FMIC, Stett chargepipe & BOV, BMW Perf cross drilled rotors, strut brace, and LCI tails. I installed these Apex EC-7's with Michelin Pilot Sports today and I'm thrilled with the result. The wheels look great and the tires are super sticky.

Here's the car departing the trailer from Florida, angry little car

Here's a shot with the stock wheels, they will be used in conjunction with snow tires:

Blacked out grills and Stett front mount intercooler (stealthy, you really have to look to see the FMIC):

^^^ Do it!!! Blacklines really transform the look of the rear. I installed them on my AW a few months ago.

I could not pull of Blacklines since the car is entirely stock, but the regular LCIs will look great.
