HOLY SHYT, i just squirted a little ...

EINSER M · 08-26-2009, 04:58 AM

that shit is done right. effing hot!

JRB135 · 08-26-2009, 02:01 PM

Thanks for all the positive responses. Even though I am investing considerable dollars into the 135i platform (more in the future planned). To me, its quite worth it, when compared to the M3.

A little lighter vehicle, with a better engine. The twin turbo inline 6 is more contemporary, and the horsepower potential is exceptional.

Plus I really like the look of the 135i. An awesome platform for appearance and performance upgrades.

Excellent work, looks great! Congrats

JRB135 · 08-27-2009, 09:25 AM

I think the offset of the wheels is 63.

rosky1 · 08-29-2009, 10:36 AM

Great car! Mind telling where you got the custom mesh screens done?

Thanks.

JRB135 · 08-29-2009, 10:43 AM

The custom mesh screen was done by Kartoyz in San Jose, California. 408 - 251 - 1497. ask for Toan.

Sweet!

The rear deck spoiler is part of the Hartge kit; I had it urathene molded into the trunk lid. It is made of fiberglass or purim.

You're car looks amazing man, only thing im not a huge fan of is that front lip. But besides that A+ your car looks mean!

radiantm3 · 09-01-2009, 02:24 PM

I hate seeing all these nice looking white 1ers. Makes me regret my color choice.

TonyTone · 09-01-2009, 02:37 PM

Looks good

ichiban · 09-01-2009, 02:38 PM

I kinda regretted getting SGM till i found out my year was the only year they're making it. White was my second choice.

JRB135 · 09-04-2009, 09:16 AM

The AST coilovers are NOT recommended (I updated my posting). My left front coilover has developed a very loud squeaking noise. Why? When examined I have discovered that it is missing two o-rings as delivered from the factory. Completely unacceptable manufacturing quality control. BR Racing is attempting to get me a replacement.

I will update on the speed of customer service responsiveness.

And even if my diagnosis is incorrect; the noise and squeaking from the coilover truly sucks. Do not buy theses coilovers for your 135 or any other BMW.

Sorry to hear that. Mine will be here in a few weeks. My only thought is that this sort of thing may happen from time to time. I have heard nothing but good things about AST and there are lots of people using them. I would only be upset to the level you are at if they do not fix the problem. Hope things work out for you!!!

JRB135 · 09-04-2009, 11:30 AM

Justin:

I agree with your comments. I am willing to change my opinion about AST, and the rating of their coilover system; provided their customer service responsiveness is on top of this. I will update on this as the problem approaches resolution.

Why did you go with KW?

ichiban · 09-04-2009, 12:38 PM

for how much the ast cost, that is ridiculous.
