Thx to everyone for the comments! I'm glad my humble diesel can be appreciated on a board full of 135i's :thumbup:

One of the disadvantages of a compact camera. Small sensor = large depth of field.

nice... i escaped from the snow this year~!! Yeah~!

BSM 135i · 01-13-2009, 03:59 PM

looks like the eibach's have the perfect drop for 19's..exactly what i want to go with. :thumbup:

what eibachs did you go with? and wouldn't the drop lower than on a 128/135 since diesel engines are heavier?

Absolutely gorgeous car and photos!

It's the Pro Kit. About the drop, I think it's about the same because i've seen photos on this board from members with a 135i with eibachs, doesn't seem to be very different!

I dunno if I'm more envious of the car's looks or the fact that you got more snow in Belgium than us here up north... oh well.

I was planning to get 18"s for the summer but now... you might've cost me a lot of money. Damn you, I'll go pound my head to a wall for a while. :biggrin:

(Amazing pics btw

)

untouchableE82 · 01-15-2009, 03:21 PM

Mike@ModBargains · 01-15-2009, 11:10 PM

Are you have ANY rubbing issues at all?

No rubbing issues with normal everyday use! If I drive it really hard the front rubs just slightly sometimes, but nothing to worry about imo.

SlickShift · 02-22-2009, 04:45 PM

I missed this thread before. Gorgeous pictures!

slog · 02-22-2009, 04:57 PM

Those rims look amazing. I love them

mtechnik3 · 02-22-2009, 09:27 PM

Perfect all around...nice pics!

boostin · 02-22-2009, 09:43 PM

these are the same wheels i want for the 1 when i get it. same size, but in a black finish. nice pics!

twinturbo135i · 02-22-2009, 10:24 PM

those are some sweet pics of a sweet car but there's no way I'd drive such a nice car in that kind of mess. that baby would have to be hibernating all winter long in a climate controlled garage.

Garduna · 02-25-2009, 10:49 PM

alpine playing in the snow, very nice indeed. Love the pics with the tree bg

Boogie · 01-14-2010, 09:03 AM

Weather has been very bad for a while and last year I got sick of cleaning the Beyern wheels during the winter so I got some new winter wheels

OEM BMW Style M208 wheels

They come as the 18" upgrade (in stead of the style M207 wheel) on the hatchback or sportshatch if you pick the M-sports pack.
The coupe only has the M261 as an 18" upgrade option with the M-sports pack in the catalog here.

Sizes are the same as the stock wheels on the 135i.

Pics (dirty car though

):

Clear corner lights and sunroof delete: 2 things I wish my AW had. Looks so much cleaner.

fwmcb · 01-14-2010, 01:22 PM

Awesome car, what kind of a winter setup are you running?

escobar929 · 01-14-2010, 02:16 PM

man, your 1er looks amazing in the older pics

those wheels are sick! the offsets are perfect

at least now you can throw some snow tires on and be a lil safer

larryn · 01-14-2010, 02:29 PM

Looks great, Boogie! Awesome pictures! Please post your long term review of the Beyern Mesh some time in the future, especially since you are using them for snow duty.

The reason I ask is that I've always wondered how durable they are, having a decent sized lip (looks great), but that they are not a stepped design. I would think they would be easy to deform.

1bonna · 01-14-2010, 03:27 PM

Love the pics like everyone else. Can you imagine what the pictures will look like with a DSLR camera! Amazing
