Met Adrian of Procede fame yesterday. He was gracious enough to meet me during his holidays to have a chat and set up my Rev3. The car feels great.

Thanks for your time Adrian!

So I've been pretty slack...buying a new house and all, so mods have slowed to a trickle...so I'll try to jam a few months of werk into this one post...:P

I've also kept my bimmer mods off the internets in-case of warranty problems....warranty is over, so here we are!

AR Ceramic-coated DPs (thanks M1one1M)

DPs: http://www.ardesign.info/store/ar-de...downpipes.html









Got a good deal on some BMW performance brakes - the local cost of new rotors/pads alone is more than this whole kit was! (I now have a full set of 135i brakes if anyone is interested - gotta give them a clean-up and will post pics in a bit...)



Oh - and some whiter angel eyes and a detail...

Nice work, Tiaan!

Sorry I couldn't get down there to detail it for you, but looks like she came up quite nicely

Nice! Those ceramic-coated dp's look great, wish I did that to mine. Your stock dp's look brand new too!

Do you mind sharing where and how much you paid for the performance brakes?

Turner Motorsports had them on sale a while back - around $1k for the set! (plus shipping). They sat in our spare room for ages! I actually bought them before I got the car, because I was expecting to get a 123d, but canceled the order. Getting them for a 135i is a bit redundant - except if you need new disks and pads and the price is similar!

That's a steal! I wish I knew about that sale. I'm lucky to pick up the 2 front Performance calipers (without rotors or pads) for 1k!!

I'm thinking about upgrading the brake lines. Are you still using the stock ones?

Yeah - still on the stock lines. Have always wanted braided on my cars, but I think there might be rego / insurance issues with them. Not worth the hassle - it's not a track car...
