Here's what you need for your 135i Coupe!

1. Eibach Pro-Kit Pt# 2097.140 Tire Rack ($237)
2. Koni FSD Damper Set Pt# 2100-4036 Harold HP Autowerks or Tire Rack ($628)
3. Take your car to someone locally that can do a good alignment about a week after you install the parts. This way it will have had a chance to settle. (around $100)
4. Spacers - 15mm F, 12mm R ($120 x 2) http://www.wstoshop.com/servlet/the-...ers/Categories
5. BMW Performance Grilles (gloss black). Can pick up at your local dealer or order from Tischer Get BMW Parts.
6. Wash, and wax. Then sit back and smile.

Possibly the cleanest (literally) BSM I have ever seen! Looks awesome.

Any plans to do any further mods?

It really sucks that USA have to have the amber indicator lights, would look amazing without the tango-ness in the lights

[bmwbrad22]

Ashley, thanks man! Hope all is well in S. Carolina. I'm going to miss our drives - especially this fall.

I love it! I have BSM as well. You've made be change my mind from coilovers to Eibach Pro Kit! Only problem is shocks and springs are almost the same price as KW coilovers.. LOL!

It is a perfect drop and stance though! Thanks for posting all the info!

Are you for real? Boring? So you are saying you like the chrome grills and satin window trim?

So on the FSD shocks, Koni's website has this listed next to it.. "FSD kit must be used with stock height suspension."

Have you had any negative issues with them? How many miles do you have on those shocks now?

Thanks!

The FSD shocks can certainly be used with stock factory springs. Or they can be paired with aftermarket springs like Eibach Pro-Kit. Many 1 Series owners here and also 3 Series owners currently run this set-up without any issues.

I have about 5000 miles and love the handling for everyday street driving - also zero issues to report. Car feels just as comfortable if not more than the stock set-up.

[busyguy8]

Excellent.. thanks!

A few more pics of my 135i from this year. Winter wheels/tires are probably going on in about a month or so.

Next Summer I plan on getting wider non-runflat tires - possibly a 225Fr/255Rr combo. Also plan on BMW Performance or Rogue Engineering exhaust.

[Stuart@BMRAutowerkes]

wow makes me want to get eibachs, great ride height!

[Harlequin]

Damn that looks good!

My Eibachs are sitting at the TNT depot right now. I wasn't home when they tried to deliver them today...

Picking them up first thing Monday morning and going straight from the warehouse to the suspension shop

[miro2296]

looks good! Nice and shiny!! The way a black car should be

[Summertop]

Nice seetup. I was thinking of going with 12mm F & R but u changed my mind. 15mm F & 12mm R it is!

Good to hear - I think you'll be pleased with the overall look! It really transforms the stance and enhances the lines of the car even more.

Here are some more pics of my car. I'd love to do wider non-rft tires next spring. http://www.1addicts.com/forums/showt...7#post10578167

[ChuckD05]

You just made my mind up on spacers and springs haha

Only thing I would do different is put the bigger or the same spacer out back. On RWD car I'd prefer the rear wheel to poke a touch more than the front.

But ur car looks great. Sorry for thread revival but it's a great example of eobach springs with spacers on our stock wheel !
