What a beaut. Would have been really difficult to pass up this color had it been offered on my year. Suits the e82 body so perfectly.

Agreed, that colour is sweet. Good choice!

You made a good choice, enjoy your new ride.
That really is a sharp color!

Got my new rear Hankook Ventus V12 evos in last night from tire rack and got them mounted today. Glad to have a decent amount of tread on my tires now.

Awesome to see another CR 135! Job well done on the performance and aesthetic mods thus far!

Thanks man, I'm just trying to keep on the mods at a slow but steady pace.

I just went with 245/35/18. Itching for a small cheap mod, I'm buying a porter cable next, but want to do something small and aesthetic oriented to the car. Any Ideas?

A cheap mod I did was plasti dip. I sprayed on some front splitters and I also painted my trunk.

Looks good. I wonder if someone makes two CF insert pieces for the front bumper in the place where you painted.

They do, I had them on before but they sat to low and I would scrape them all the time. So I took them off. I think I have pics on my build thread.

I had the drivers side LED tail light pack it in last week, first I was angry that I would have to replace the entire light assembly. But then I found these LCI Tails and had to pick them up. Quick shipping and packed very nicely from ECS Tuning. The lights give the car in my opinion a nice updated look. Tune should be next on my list.

Congrats !!

CanAmera135i · 09-29-2014, 08:34 PM

Had my AC evaporator go last month repair bill was $1400.00. Not fun! I took it to Avenue Performance great guys and they did an awesome job. But I did luck out and snagged a procede tune on Ebay.com for only a hundred dollars. It arrives this Thursday and I cant wait.
