Took a few Pictures Today

Hello,
I washed my car today and decided to take a few shots. Since my last post I have installed Coilovers. Waiting on the blackline LCI's and cant decide on wheels. Anyway here they are.

Where to get KW the cheapest? I sometimes do wonder whether we are paying mainly for the name... Then again I have heard great things about them.

Personally I think the front splitters look a touch goofy. A clean set of 261s look so good that there is no need to rush into deciding on a set of wheels.

We've got the V1's on our JCW Mini - and they are freakin' awesome....

BUT - the suspension 'issues' on the 135i are far different to those of the mini, so I'm not assuming they would have the same effect...

They are definitely great quality, though!

Thanks for all the kind words. I ended up with the KW V1 as I have no intention of tracking the car. I was really just wanting a drop and I dont like the idea of just doing springs. The V1's are comfortable as stock but everything feels 'tighter', and less body roll. I'm very happy with them. Im sure the V2's would have been a step up again but I knew I wouldn't have touched any of the settings available in the V2's.

Car looks great! I agree though, lose the splitters.
