picked up my 135i last week!!!

[bates91]

Well finally joined the club, been planning/dreaming about getting a 135 for the past 6+ months at least, had to part out my previous car and sell that off rather rapidly. found a rather good example hiding away down in canberra, 09 AW manual coupe with just 34000kms on the clock, no sunroof/idrive but I decided I could live without them, and put the money saved towards mods later on

pics at bottom stolen shamelessly from sellers FS thread

already has black grilles, clutch delay valve fix, angel eyes, intake & catch can (both not installed yet).
as far as mods go a tune is definitely next on the cards
-blacklines + performance spoiler
-coilovers
-diffuser + exhaust
-front lip still undecided...kerscher does look good but I don't particularly love doing what everyone else has already done, so might look around for something different
-wheels...biggest headache. again trying to find something that hasn't really been done that much before but still looks good. CSL-style / VMR range are definitely out of the question...not denying they don't look good but again just on the hunt for something different

and im sure inevitably I will go FBO + meth in the future, but for now a tune will definitely suffice.

progress might be slow, at uni so have to balance my time between studying and working part time. but being good mates with the BMR guys I'm sure they'll force mods on me sooner rather than later

hope to meet some of you guys at future meets and see what you've all done

Cheers, Ed

Sweet ride, no sunroof, no satnav = thumbs up

[froop]

Congrats Ed! Sweet ride!

Come to the Putty Rd drive this Saturday if you're free.

[John_01]

Great car. None of the stuff you don't need. IMO, the 1 series interior looks better without the nav screen sticking out.

[1_dez]

i see you picked up saads car, very clean!

[TWD]

Nice!

I just had a silver one with same specs this weekend

It looks very driver focused with the manual and clean dash lay out (ie, no fixed screen).

[racer_x]

Congrats & welcome. It looks very clean.

Did you used to own a Liberty? Live around HH? If so... sup, I live around the corner. Good to know Saad's car is in your hands. Enjoy!

[fly_inverted]

i've said it before, and i'll say it again, AW is THE colour.

congrats and enjoy.

Simple but effective... Welcome to never ending story

yes and yes haha. barons cres and you drive past every day? good to know i have a stalker


thanks for the welcome guys, yeah white definitely is the nicest colour for these cars imo, if i'd found exact same spec/price/etc in another colour I probably would've held out for a white one, so lucky me!


got one of my mates to quickly photoshop up some wheel options, here's a couple of the favourites haha



and because blurple

[Stuart@BMRAutowerkes]

blurple is definitely different!

[John_01]

Both those wheels would be good if you can get them in 1 series fitment. Work Meister (Blurples) would be cool on the 1 series - Although they should be hyper-silver on a BMW..

[duongma]

congrats!!!

[Moocow]

the "Blurples" would have to come with free under car neon lights and M badges!!!!

[Harlequin]

I really like the first ones but I don't think they'd look anywhere near as aggressive in 1er-fitment... unfortunately....
