Hi,

It seems common manners on this forum to do a quick introduction thread... So here is a quick intro. Picked up my 2008 135i 6 months ago, and have been using this forum as a steady source of ideas as to how to spend my money and upset the Wife ever since.

Below is my Toy, It has been great fun and with the latest edition, (a JB4) installed, this weekends trip down to Armidale was even more enjoyable... and surprised to say i came back averaging 0.2l/100k less...

The only other changes from stock (at the moment) is i had Carbon Demon wrap the interior trim in Carbon... it was a good learning experience pulling apart the interior to send to sydney...

I have a set of Downpipes in the garage being installed in the next month or two... the mech advised it was not the best thing to install before a 800k Road trip... so i held off.



I am based in brisbane, and it is good to see the brisbane crew seem quite social... will keep my eye out for some of the members...

Morbo..

Cheers,

There is another Sedona Red i have seen around brisbane... drives past my work daily... and parks out of front of the UQ rowing sheds every now and then.

Feel free to say hi to him as well... though i am the one with hair...

looking forward to seeing more around...

Andrew from Southern BM supplied the complete unit for my welded, manual spec diff. Justin from Midas Tingalpa swapped them over for me - though it's not a hard job to do yourself.
