It is Bi-Xenon Headlight.

The bulbs don't look like the stock color temp is what he means I think.

I'm guessing they're 6000k's like the Philips Ultinons.

geovass · 08-18-2008, 01:46 PM

very nice!

professor · 08-18-2008, 09:28 PM

congratulations. nice shots. is that gt-r yours too?

Bimzz · 08-18-2008, 09:56 PM

cool pictures! love the car!!!

Wraith · 08-18-2008, 10:11 PM

Yes AW never dissapoints - very nice pics...

I too am however drawn to that other beast in one of the pics - the white R35

HID's on this car appear to be 7-8000k :wink:

That's my first guess too but the shutter speed is probably long and distorted the true color.

It's the color balance. If left unaltered, the entire scene would be more orange/red.

EDIT: 135 with W spoke? BWAHAHAHAHA! Sucker. Those will be hell to clean in HK stop and go traffic. Anyway, very nice white. I'm going back to HK in Sept. Let's see if I can spot ya

imported_Romain · 08-19-2008, 02:42 AM

yeah!!! your pics is very nice...

I like hong kong....

Hi from HK. Like the photos a lot. I ordered mine in Jul and will take delivery in Oct. Mine is also AW but with manual gearbox. How do you like the car? I have not seen any 135i yet in HK. The wait is killing me and I have to visit this forum everyday to ease the pain.

My135 · 08-22-2008, 10:08 AM

Nice car. I am from Hong Kong but currently live in Atlanta, GA, USA. Plan to visit Hong Kong next year.

Simon_135i · 08-22-2008, 10:53 AM

Great PICS!!! HK is great place to visit for like 6 months to a year...

Any mods you're planning to do?

EINSER M · 08-22-2008, 11:14 AM

congrats HK!

ronsil · 08-22-2008, 05:28 PM

Love the car. However, your plate is kinda funny.

Hello Alex! I was born in HK, but moved to the US when I was 7. Used to live across the street from Victoria Park, in Tin Hau.

Excellent choice on the 135i, but not too crazy about your W wheels, like Qube said. The 5 spokes are definitely better, IMO. Just saw my uncle the other day, and he said there are a ton of the 135i's running around in Macau. Is it like that in HK too?

For those who don't know much about HK - it's expensive to own a car there, let alone a BMW. They pay a lot of taxes, etc. Aside from that, you don't need to drive at all; public transport is readily available.

I ordered mine in April, the car is very nice, as i know Hong Kong has around 20 135i on the road, mostly AW.
