The embryo has hatched. The 135i is evolving.

BMW86 · 06-25-2010, 04:07 AM

Here are some photos of my 135i which I've had since early last year 2009. Some of the group-buys were painfully long but in the end they all came through. My aim was to give the 135i an aggressive personality without ricing it out as I wanted to retain the elegance of the European brand. I am satisfied with how it looks for now but there is still a lot more planned. I am also considering dropping it another 1/4 inch or so and painting and fitting the CSR eyelids which I have already bought.

Car looks great! Very clean, subtle but not overdone. And that front lip looks awesome, can't wait for mine to come in!

Car looks great.Wheels are real nice. The side skirts really add an element that breaks up the large side area. It especially improves the look of the flanks on AW. Im going to have to do it on mine. How much for the paint and install on the skirts?

Looks perfect mate..side skirts really help the look and i'm really glad i got them installed also.

But what i really want to know is whether you will do a proper DIY on the iCarbon lip????

Thanks for the feedback guys. Looks like i might be out on the cf hood because of ADR laws in Australia. I'm happy with how it looks for now anyways.

Lovely car mate, looks great. Personally I wouldn't go any lower, it's sits low already and speed bumps will rip your lip off
