New Guy here. Black 08 i35i

vwown3d · 07-05-2010, 10:38 AM

Well I finally pulled the trigger, got out of the Subaru world and traded my car toward an 08 black 135i. It was used at a Chevy dealer. 14k on the odo.

I'm still trying to figure out all the options it came with, maybe you guys can help me out.

Here are some pictures of the exterior:

As the interior goes it looks like it has:
-Black sport seats
-M sport steering wheel, shift knob, perf. Ebrake handle
-Nav system
-Usb and aux in and some case stuck to the underside of the armrest for a ipod
-Carbon fiber trim on dash, door handles, shifter, and ash tray
-Autodimming/homelink mirror
-Rubber floor mats (no carpet ones? wtf)
-reverse prox sensors.
-Auto leveling and turning HID headlights.

Again, I dont know what is standard and what is not, i'm still trying to learn this strange BMW world

Also the car came with an exploding, cracked third brake light!!! Going in for a repair today.

vwown3d · 07-05-2010, 10:39 AM

oops, help me out mods, I mean 135i not i35i. Haha

emtrey · 07-05-2010, 11:22 AM

I think the headlights are zenons w/ premium pack,and mirror should have univ.garage door opener( I think you are calling it homelink.) Hard to see...do you have a sunroof-and leather seats...that would clarify prem. package for 08

carbon fiber stuff and e-brake and shift knob (maybe) ---likely "mods"

carpeted floor mats not OEM..my salesman gave me mine..can be purchased from dealers

car looks very nice and low miles for 08..enjoy and welcome aboard.

go to website it you want too see wha tis incl. in the premium package...may be slightly diff. now from 08 but basically the same

Welcome to the world of BMW. None of that is standard equipment so you got a very nice car.

sb335is · 07-05-2010, 11:28 AM

All 135's come with xenons....

But sport seats mean you have sport package.
Do you have heated seats ? (cold weather)
you do NOT have Msport due to your wheels, but have a ton of Msport bits.

Your front bumper is BMW performance, as well as the side skirts, and the carbon trim inside the vehicle. [expensive bits too]

And if your mirror has a garage door opener seats are power seats they're leather and you've got premium package.

looks like you've got a flippin loaded car man, congrats. I would kill to have carbon fiber inside my car without having to pay 800+ bucks. And that front bumper is a refreshing alternative.

edit: LOL is your license plate NOM NOM

emtrey · 07-05-2010, 11:40 AM

get the front black out grille...inexpensive and will work very well with all your BMW perf. mods.

radiantm3 · 07-05-2010, 03:58 PM

Are the rubber floor mats from BMW? I much prefer the rubber ones over carpet.

meg180 · 07-05-2010, 04:10 PM

Congrats on the car! Looks great.

///M///M Good · 07-05-2010, 04:19 PM

It also looks like you're car may be sitting slightly low. Are your springs yellow? That would indicate the BMW performance suspension - or another aftermarket suspension.

vwown3d · 07-05-2010, 04:43 PM

ahh yes. someone was mentioning that the body parts were bmw performance parts. It does have leather and a moon roof.

I will check the springs out, however I have kw3's on order that should be here this week.

Boxtyp3 · 07-05-2010, 05:00 PM

How much did you got that beast for if you don't mind me asking? Sweet ride BTW!

It's an 08 and those are the rims that came with 135i's at that tiem WITH the sports package..that was the m-sport of its day.

MadMan77 · 07-05-2010, 05:31 PM

Hmmm... the ride height looks to be the same as my '08 with the sport package. Looks good with the other add-ons too.

Congrats and welcome.

No such thing as "M Sport of it's day." It has the sport package, which is still available on 2010 and 2011 models. M-Sport is another package that adds M badges, different wheels and the anthracite headliner.

The rest of the parts aren't "M Sport bits" but are BMW Performance dealer installed/purchased options.

fatjoez · 07-05-2010, 07:56 PM

nice car. performance bumper/skirts look nice. good deal

SupremePower3335 · 07-05-2010, 09:55 PM

Congrats! Take some pics of the int so we can see the carbon fiber! BMW Pref Body kit looks sweet!

ronssito · 07-05-2010, 11:30 PM

2008's didn't have an M-Sport package available - only the standard Sport package. That's what he's referring to.

PS: Nice car, vwown3d!

Right my point was that it had the only sports package available at that time..tried to just generalize...still hating on the "performance" front bumper..
