One of my favorite pics of my freshly bathed 135i (56k might wanna pass)

twinturbo135i · 01-25-2009, 07:41 PM

I decided to snap yet another picture of my beloved 135i after spending almost four hours on a thorough cleaning. I shot this as it was turning dark and it actually turned out pretty nice.

what do you guys and gals think?

*EDIT* - another picture added from today's photo shoot.

Bimmer Nerd · 01-25-2009, 07:53 PM

nice shot and wheels

what angels are you using ? GP thunder 8500k ?

twinturbo135i · 01-25-2009, 07:56 PM

I think they're the 6500k models.

G5Ti · 01-25-2009, 08:03 PM

Looks great.

Also, looks warm where you live. Where might that be? I think I'm moving there…

twinturbo135i · 01-25-2009, 08:27 PM

I live in Orlando, FL. we've had our cold snaps for the past five days or so but nothing brutal like what people up north are getting. there's no way I would drive my car in that stuff.

BlackjackMulligan · 01-25-2009, 08:32 PM

Wheels look great! Those are 18's, right?

twinturbo135i · 01-25-2009, 08:34 PM

yes, 18" all around. I didn't want to experiment with anything bigger.

doubleA · 01-25-2009, 08:38 PM

Looks sick man crimson is amazing.

deeb · 01-25-2009, 08:41 PM

Nice picture!

What tires/widths are you running?

twinturbo135i · 01-25-2009, 08:59 PM

everything is the same size as stock. I didn't want to change anything.

BigBlue · 01-25-2009, 09:16 PM

Beautiful! I live in the Ft. Lauderdale area. This is my first BMW since I lived most of my life in upstate NY. Agreed - would never drive this car in that weather!

Robert · 01-25-2009, 09:34 PM

Looks nice. Did you have wider 18s than stock in the black? You may want to consider the Shadowline grill trim. It looks great now but may look sharper, depending on personal taste though.

nope, everything is stock size.

boxerdog · 01-25-2009, 10:03 PM

Looks great but are you missing the head rest on your seats?

yes, I don't use the front headrests. I'm in a wheelchair and the headrests sit too high for me to get my wheelchair in the back seat.

Joey_T · 01-26-2009, 12:30 AM

Stunning picture and very, very clean car!

slog · 01-26-2009, 12:35 AM

Black grills would look amazing IMO...

rcracer_tx · 01-26-2009, 01:05 AM

What angel eye kit do you have? It looks awesome

Oregon · 01-26-2009, 02:03 AM

Crimson red works particularly well on the 135, plus, the 135 is greatly complimented by your choice of wheels. TT, your's is one good looking car.

I was dearly tempted to go CR, dearly tempted, however, red is simply not an appropriate color for an old man.

Please get back to me when you are 100% what color/temperature lights you are running. I just want to make sure & get those very same ones. They look great man.
