2012 AW 135i

crbalch · 01-06-2012, 09:53 AM

2012 Alpine White 135i - Mods are located in my sig.

Just throwing up some random pics of my car. Also, just got a Canon S100 so I took a few shots just to test it out. They look pretty good but I'll still need to play around quite a bit with it.

Just washed!

IMO the one thing you should never change it the roundels!

crbalch · 01-06-2012, 10:50 AM

The thing about changing the roundels I think is that it really sets your car apart and its pretty subtle. I am also a Syracuse grad so I need to display my school pride still since I'm only a year and a half removed haha.\

I personally really like the orange right now and if I decide I want to go back I can always just peel them off.

very colorful.................................very colorful

Dafttt · 01-06-2012, 05:04 PM

It's obviously not traditional but I say do what you want to do man, it's your car! What about blue/orange instead of white? Too much? The ///M grills are a nice touch

Carolinagirl · 01-07-2012, 05:05 PM

I think it looks nice. Enjoy your car.

Moo · 01-07-2012, 11:04 PM

I like how the orange roundels match with the corner ambers. However, the grill M stripes make the front look too busy.

Preach on. I'm getting another degree from Mich. State this May and plan on getting a 2012 328i via ED. Getting the Green overlays.

crbalch · 01-08-2012, 10:50 AM

I unfortunately agree with you in that the front does look a bit busy but I love the M stripes on the grill as well as the roundels. I agree with how they match the amber corners and think it looks great, but may need to decide to remove one or the other.

Definitely thought about the blue and orange but I like the orange and white since our colors aren't blue and orange anymore.

Green will look pretty nice, MSU is my second favorite team so go for it

M stripes externally on a non M car isn't to my taste.
