Thanks. Its my first foray back into company car land for a while. Work has a 'green policy' when it comes to company cars so Ive opted out for the last 3 years as there hasnt been anything of interest. The recent N55 engine has dropped the CO2 level down to a point where our fleet department think its just another BMW so I was surprised to see it on the list and couldnt resist.

To be honest I cant help but grin to myself that Ive managed to blag one of these out of the company and someone else has to pay for the tyres and insurance

The soap is called 'snowfoam'. You simply fill the detergent bottle in your power washer with the stuff and it cpomes out slowly as a thick foam. You cover the car with it and leave it for 5 minutes or so and it breaks all the dirt down and lifts it off the paint. Its PH neutral so its safe and doesnt strip the wax off. Its marvellous stuff.

You're correct, its the BMW Business CD.

Cant see that the LCI brings much to the party bar a few trinkets in the lighting department. Depends if they have a non LCI in stock in which case its got to be tempting to just do it anyway. By the time the LCI is out and the car would take another 10-12 weeks to arrive youre looking at mid 2011 before it arrives. I wouldnt have enough patience!

Very nice JBW. I assume you track you car? Do you rub on the track, you are very low for a track car?

I just completed her at the end of this past season. She'll be tracked during this upcoming season for sure. I have 450# springs up front, so I don't think I'll have any issues. If I do, I'll raise her a bit.

Thanks for the compliment!

Nice car, JBW. The drop looks real nice, although I'd raise the rear just a tad, but thats just my opinion. How is the ride? Being in RI, I assume you frequent Lime Rock Park? I was going to upgrade my suspension for track, but I bought a cheap Miata for track duty instead. 116hp FTW, lol!

Thanks wkndracr!

I have 450#/800# springs on her, so it's a firm ride for sure. On the ridiculously bad roads around here, it's a tad bit much at times for daily driving. I definitely think I have more rattles nowadays. I'm shaking her apart. (Poor thing.) BUT, when the roads smooth out and/or I'm negotiating turns, I'm in heaven. She sticks like mad.

I'll be at Lime Rock this upcoming season.

Thanks again.

I own a monacoblue 135i currently, unfortunately they dont offer that color anymore.

Thats why I ordered a BSM 135i today with leather oyster.
Here is a picture from the samples. Car will arrive in the end of may.

Iam getting my car on friday and I cant decide if its worth to switch the mirrors.
I could swap the mirrors from my current 135i to the new 135i.....

I kind of compensated the new mirrors a bit as of now.
