BMW 135tii or Performance Parts (from concept Tii) on coupe !

Genericuser1 · 01-25-2008, 12:22 PM

Love the seats and wheels, if this was a package guessing you are adding what another 4-5k? Especially if it has an LSD.

miloz · 01-25-2008, 12:22 PM

Looks pretty nice:smile:

slymen · 01-25-2008, 12:33 PM

cool pics. not so crazy about the front fascia. what are the benefits of those performance calipers?? , loved the diff

SpeedTriple · 01-25-2008, 12:33 PM

I guess I'm the sole dissident here, but I don't like the looks of ANY of that stuff. To each his own I s'pose...

ehnaych · 01-25-2008, 12:36 PM

I'm digging the wheels, but the rest I could pass on. After dealing with the Alcantara in the ZHP I wouldn't get it in a daily driver again. That front fascia seems to make a rather unfortunate "happy pumpkin face" to my eyes. Are we looking at a revamped diff or just the performance exhaust hook up?

I don't miss the yellow in the front turning signals... the clear looks much better. Especially with the white paint.

None of the BMW OEM wheels do it for me - they're all expensive as hell and heavy, even the forged CSL items (rears are 24lbs if I'm not mistaken).

I can also do without CF this and that, the weight savings cannot be that great. A vented CF hood might make sense for track days or if the car is modified.

The seats are interesting. But they include airbags, are covered in leather and alcantara, so I imagine BMW will easily charge $2000 for them separately.

What I was actually most interested in was the suspension, which does not appear to be installed on this car.

cncmastr · 01-25-2008, 01:01 PM

My thoughts exactly.

That car looks awesome!

My dreams have come true. I can't believe there is an LSD!

The BMW wheels, well a bunch of the performance ones are made by BBS, check the back of the rim next time you're in a BMW dealership.

I knew that already and don't give a rat's a$$. What possible benefit can come from a 28lbs BBS wheel???

The forged items on my E36 M3 were 24lbs for the rears, that's heavy for a 17" rim. The "M" wheels in my 330i Performance Package were a whopping 28lbs for the rears. etc.

The 18" OZ Superleggera I replaced them with came in around 18-19lbs. That was a 10lbs saving per corner and it made a big difference. The OZ wheels are sturdy, lightweight, relatively inexpensive and very true (easy to balance etc.).

rossii · 01-25-2008, 01:25 PM

Awh CRAP!!! There goes the budget!

PrematureApex · 01-25-2008, 01:26 PM

Might be cheaper to add your own LSD and a set of semi-racing seats. Certainly shouldn't cost more tan their probably going to charge for this thing...

Also I do want about half the things on the car...

Berduderunner · 01-25-2008, 01:31 PM

wow, makes me rethink jet black...

sirploppy · 01-25-2008, 01:42 PM

Please.... PLEASE let it be an M1 prototype!!

It will be 4-5k just for the wheels and tires. Like adc says it won't be cheap, I won't spend that much on BBS wheels because for another 1000+, total, I can step up to custom HRE wheels.

I may consider the LSD to preserve warranty and the exterior carbon trim if the price is right.

Mike Roberts · 01-25-2008, 02:25 PM

You know I've looked at this around 4 times today and only just noticed the silver stripe!

Everything is fantastic, sure it looks like my tii clone will be coming in bits - but at least I can have it!... I'll be leaving that steering wheel off the options list though.

Seems to be riding quite high, and there's an odd camber on the front wheel - have they left the transport blocks on?

imported_M3Racer · 01-25-2008, 02:51 PM

Where can I buy these tii parts?

JCW idea translated to BMW. Can't wait for the official details. Somebody leak the catalog soon!

OPTIMO · 01-25-2008, 03:07 PM

I'd rather order a complete car than having to piece it together after the fact.
