Performance Suspension Fitted = Pic whoring

m7ammed · 06-18-2009, 02:00 PM

Fitted the BMW Performance suspension on Saturday I let it settle in and decided to take some pics today. It was really hot so couldn't do everything I want it was so humid it was unbelievable. The car drives very well not much difference on the comfort side but body roll is minimum now and turn and responsiveness is just amazing I think this kit strikes a perfect balance LOVE IT

I changed something else on the exterior side but I will let you guys guess what it is its very subtle.

Anyways here are the pics

The drop is perfect for me as I don't have to worry about bumps scraping the bottom ...etc as we have really bad roads here :mad:, here is a comparison photo

glad to hear you like it, what else did you change, all I see different from stock is the perf exhaust

i fukn love the 135i

have fun with the suspension

ChrisM135i · 06-18-2009, 03:43 PM

the drop looks great..!
was your prior suspension the M-Sport?

I am also thinking of getting the perf suspension.. but sometimes i get worried because of crappy roads, RFT tires and an even harder suspension than the M-Sport...

the 135i doesn't come with anything else but the M-suspension, right? anyway I had the rear anti-roll bar already on the car.

I believe that's the case as that's what BMW's site says and I have no sport pack and the rear bar is there and one dealer told me yes I have 704- M-sport susp. Just ordered my perf suspension from Dan today in the group buy and I'm excited to get it on the car. Specified that I don't have sport package but told him in the memo I should nonetheless have the sport suspension. anyway car looks great!

Great pics! Although, whoever edited them needs to stop stretching them... sure it makes the car look awesome, but it isn't realistic...

The car looks awesome!!!

jibaholic101 · 06-18-2009, 06:50 PM

god your car is beautiful so clean!!! do you have a hard time keeping it clean with all the dust?, do you have an exact measurement for how much it was dropped?

Its really hard to keep it clean, I just washed it before I took the pics, it will be dusty in a day or two. I only clean it once a week on weekends though I take it to this great car wash which use good products to clean the car

Sorry about that, the computer I was on must have some resolution issues as on my laptop they look fine!
