Hi All,

Just picked up my 135i a little over a week ago. I purchased the car from Ferman BMW in Tampa, but I live in Fort Lauderdale.

This is my first BMW, and some of my previous cars include: Acura Integra (full jdm typeR conversion), s2000, and Evo8... However I am coming from a 4Runner, so I have been out of the tuning scene for a while...

Here are some pictures, just after being detailed by Shawn @ Sully's Detailing. Nice job!!

BahamaBart · 01-10-2010, 02:20 PM

looks great but then I might be biased.

Sidh135i · 01-10-2010, 02:25 PM

sickk! my 1er was my first bmw too. You're going to love it!

HPFREAK · 01-10-2010, 02:33 PM

looks awesome congrats. I just tried to detail my black 135 yesterday and was not able to finish it. It is tough work and that is why they get paid so much to do it.

ChrisM135i · 01-10-2010, 03:13 PM

Congrats and welcome!

Nice car.. but i am perhaps also a little bit biased..

Do you have any interior shots?

135i.Chris · 01-10-2010, 06:57 PM

Thanks guys! I'll try to get some interior pics, but I dont have any yet.. I love the car, and I can't wait to start 'customizing'.. I plan to go with as much BMW Performance as possible considering Warranty and the perfect fitment..

a Few more details:

M Package, Premium Package, Steptronic, Boston Leather (black), shadowline kidney grills.

tyler9595 · 01-10-2010, 07:05 PM

Congrats! Beautiful car.

SV Concepts III · 01-10-2010, 07:13 PM

Yes, beautiful car! But I also could be biased.

And my performance kidney grills are awaiting the arrival of my 135i from the PCD.

135i.Chris · 01-10-2010, 07:40 PM

Haha, yes! I believe that by far that black is the best looking color, but definitely the hardest to take care of... And you have to look past a few swirl marks and the occasional scratch... Just have to remind yourself that you are the only one who sees those things, and the car still looks amazing to everyone else..

BSM 335I · 01-10-2010, 08:06 PM

nice to see another local here. Not surprised to see the list of cars you have since you live in South Florida lol. I too had a Fully built 12 second Type R, low 12 second JRSC GSR, MazdaSpeed6, and an E90 335i 6mt. Where did you get yours from?

Yes, likewise! We need to set up a meet sometime with other South Florida residents... I purchased my 135 from a dealership in east tampa because it was the only dealership I could find that was 1) Nice 2) Had the car I wanted, and 3) accepted the USAA rates...
