hey guys my names anderson, I'm 21 and recently bought a 08 135i
the reason i bought the car is because i needed a daily since my miata
would always brake down after track days...
so after months of searching i found the 135i i wanted
comes with all the options you can get back in 08 and its a 6 speed...
i love the car and can't wait to start adding mods to it but thats take some
time since most of my money still goes to my track car and I'm a full time
student.
i just had a few questions when it came to coils on these cars and what you
guys would recommend, i forgot to mention this is my first "euro" car so I'm pretty clueless on 5x120 wheels and a lot of other things lol
But yeah here it is....









And here is my track miata





The miata is on megan coils, (people say they are shitty but they've been great to me)
nardi wheel with nag quick release
buddy club seat with gforce 5 point harness
i rebuilt my motor about 12k ago
i run 11:1 compression
it has hankook 225/45/r15 rs3's
15x8 wheels 0 offset
garage star shifknob and shift extender
hard dog roll bar
headers
rear bumper cut
oem mazda sideskirts and front lip (optional)
and a couple more stuff..

Welcome and congrats on your new purchase. Black sapphire and coral red, right? That was the color combo of my first 135i. Nice!

Is there metallic in the black paint? It looks like there is. If so, it's black sapphire. Cool!
