New school and old school

My wife's135i and my '95 M3 track car. She's seen my AW BMW for so long she finally had to get one of her own. Of course I had to add a few goodies (JB3, BMS DCI, etc). Just thought I'd share a quick shot

I am guessing these are those splitters they were selling. there doesnt seem to be a middle section which would translate to the vorsteiner lip.. I think only brracing as the prototype lip if anything.

congrats!

I think the 135 looks like an evolution of the E36 M3 much more than the E90. There, I said it.

Upgrade+ · 05-04-2010, 09:19 PM

Hey, how did you manage to get your splitters to stay? I'm trying to figure a solution from mine slipping down. Lucky guy to have a Jb3 driving wife lol.

Johnny Lin · 05-04-2010, 10:13 PM

Both cars are nice

Bimmer-Bob · 05-05-2010, 04:34 AM

I sometimes think of the 1er as sort of an updated E36, with similarities in looks as well as size. Particularly the 128i, with the straighter lines in the front fascia and the rectangular foglights.

Stealth135i · 05-05-2010, 05:15 AM

looking Good

I could not agree more. I miss the hell out of my '97 E36 M3 and I wanted an updated version of it, so I got the 135i. I sold the M3 to my best friend who regretfully sold it for a Z06, now he has a '99 M3. We are both happy now.

I thank the OP for the picture. That is a great site to see two of BMWs best cars together.

Mark M · 05-05-2010, 10:43 AM

Nice bud! I too use to have an Alpine e36 M3 and an Alpine 135. However my e36 was the 4 door M3. Unfortunatley I was rear ended last summer and it was a total loss. Replaced it with a more practical and less fun bimmer. A 2002 325xi 5 speed. Great for winters in PA but not near as fun as the e36 M. Thankfully I still have the 135 for my fix.

Never a truer word spoken. I bought the 1er because it's the car I wanted, unlike most of bimmerposts perception that we must haven settled or couldn't afford a 3.
