Photoshoot: SGM 120d Coupé vs AW 123d Coupé with some performance parts

TheOnly1 · 05-25-2008, 09:44 AM

My 118d Hatch (E87) has been recently replaced by a new 120d Coupé (E82).

This weekend I did a small photoshoot together with a 123d Coupé from a friend with some performance parts on it.

Let me know what you think of it

The complete photoshoot (43 pictures) can be found here.

Awesome pictures! Forgive my ignorance but why is the roof black on the AW?

Both cars have optional M sport suspension (-15 mm). Rims were also optional.

Mystiqueskillz · 05-25-2008, 02:56 PM

WOW! AW is the best color!

cozza · 05-26-2008, 04:03 AM

Looks great! Would love to see more of the roof if possible. How was the film applied? Did you DIY?

bdardashti · 05-26-2008, 03:10 PM

Aprox. how much would those performance wheels cost?

Kris · 05-27-2008, 07:01 PM

Damn that roof looks great, only spoilt by the fact its only a film

WAY · 05-27-2008, 07:06 PM

What is the eye lid that the white car has on? Looks good!

Kris · 05-27-2008, 07:13 PM

Its an eyelid

Pity they aren't 135s! Would love to see a quad exhaust setup from BMW on the AW 1 series and a genuine roof - now THAT would be awesome

TPLSM3 · 05-27-2008, 11:12 PM

That looks so hot!! Man, I wish we could do foglights on the 135s...

Carlos · 05-28-2008, 06:14 AM

That AW with the Cf bits is the best looking car BM makes and one of the best anyone makes. Simply awesome, a mini M3

backtoreality15 · 05-28-2008, 06:39 AM

Oh man the standard 135i wheels on the 120d make it look sooo much better. Possible swap in my future...
