Hey guys, I've been lurking here for a few months, researching this car and trying to find the right one for me. The amount of info here is awesome! Well a couple of weeks ago I found exactly what I was looking for, an 08 135i 6MT with sport package, Montego blue with black Boston, and as a bonus it has comfort access (which I didn't care about at first, but now I think it's awesome). I also have a 13 X5, so now I own an n54 and an n55. I also have an 04 and an 06 S2000, which are completely awesome cars.

Here are a couple pictures, don't mind the dirty, it rained yesterday. I look forward to being a part of the community, also I already took that roof rack off, as I don't really care for it.

Welcome! Is that montego metallic?

EH6TunerDaniel · 12-22-2013, 01:48 PM

Thanks, and yes it is.

Solo_M_Tech · 12-22-2013, 02:00 PM

Welcome and post lots of pics. Thanks a very good looking 135i.

cmcdonald · 12-22-2013, 02:09 PM

Beautiful car! That's my favorite color on a 1!

IEDEI · 12-22-2013, 02:19 PM

is Montego the same as Le Mans blue? i can't really tell the difference.

CONGRATS on the 1er! it is one hell of a car.

EH6TunerDaniel · 12-22-2013, 02:24 PM

Thanks guys. I'm wanting to wash my cars and do a shoot if the weather permits.

Montego is a little bit lighter than Le Mans. In certain pictures of the two colors next to each other the difference is indistinguishable, but I prefer the montego.

Yeah you really can't tell the difference. I have montego metallic and Loesch has lemans blue. I'm sure we've posted some pics on here somewhere with the two right next to each other. Can't tell a difference. In different light one looks slightly darker than the other. But then in another light it's the other way around. Most of the time they look the same. Very nice choice in color!

Marc08EX · 12-22-2013, 05:21 PM

Congrats on your E82!!!

Looks like it also has the Performance Exhaust!

How do you like it so far?

meg180 · 12-22-2013, 06:52 PM

congrats on the new ride and welcome!

I'm loving the car so far, it's really awesome. I sold an 01 325i auto to a coworker to get this, and it's just a million times better (obviously).

Really? How can I tell if it does have performance exhaust? I've already had it up on a lift at "my" shop last week. It does sound really mean too.

Thanks for the compliments.

TwinTurboed · 12-23-2013, 08:53 AM

The standard exhaust tail pipes are black. Your's are silver and are sticking out a bit, which means its the performance exhaust.

1Pirate · 12-23-2013, 11:17 AM

Welcome and congrats! You are going to enjoy the 1.

Zombie1 · 12-23-2013, 12:37 PM

Welcome! And nice set of s2000s those things handle like race cars

Colt · 12-23-2013, 01:13 PM

Have any mod plans for it?

nice s2000s also

. They're a blast to drive.

EH6TunerDaniel · 12-23-2013, 09:32 PM

Thanks guys. I've had four s2000s. My first one was an ap1 with Mugen hardtop, custom rollbar, koni yellows and espiler asd's, 4.77 rear end, toda flywheel, the list goes on and on etc etc. it was a blast to drive, and handled like a beast!

This is my new dd and work car, and I would like to mod it, but probably nothing crazy. FBO and a tune, wider tires, suspension of some sort(haven't decided), and debadge it. I don't have to worry about voiding any warranties or anything, so that's a plus. And it had in between oil changes. I ordered a sandblaster and some walnut shells and am going to do both my n54 and n55 at the same time. And I'll do all maintenance before I mod anything.

andrey_gta · 12-25-2013, 09:29 AM

+1 to montego

You found a clean example

EH6TunerDaniel · 12-26-2013, 11:36 PM

Thanks.

Did a couple free mods. Updated roundels on the wheels and debadged. Looks good!

zamboni · 12-27-2013, 12:14 AM

Where is the bike and bike rack?

rking117 · 12-27-2013, 08:41 AM

Nice car, love the color. Oh and by the way, i like the scoop on the front of the S2000. I bet that things gets some serious down force. hahaha

Da_Meister_22 · 12-27-2013, 09:32 AM

You sure have a lot of cars..lol. What you enjoy more, the 135 or that s2k...?

Steve-0 · 12-28-2013, 02:15 PM
