Dunno about you, but these all look revolting! Note the "chrome headlight frames"

WTF?!

Epic FAIL!

x5mad · 11-17-2009, 11:46 PM

wow! looks hideous!

cozza · 11-18-2009, 12:06 AM

They do a quad exhaust too

SparklingRed · 11-18-2009, 12:24 AM

yeah, seen that car before on Albert st in the city

BMW86 · 11-18-2009, 12:26 AM

I just checked out the website. It's very different and I actually don't mind the pics of the sedona red 135i they have on their website although I hate the shiny mesh grille they've used. The kit is growing on me though. However, the exhaust sounds awful!!

Gotta cater for those ex Subie rice mobile drivers that upgraded

Dear lord. If they make one for a hatch, they should also offer this: http://www.1addicts.com/forums/showthread.php?t=320734

Hey! I'm an ex-Subie driver, there are lots of 1er owners that used to (or like me still) own Subarus!

Alext · 11-18-2009, 02:18 AM

$4400 for the exhaust...HAHAHA!!! It is just some cheap magnaflow-type muffler and a bit of piping! Go Australia! Why do people think they can rip you off for owning a BMW?

bobbynoway · 11-18-2009, 02:32 AM

Not my tastes but at least there is more interest from vendors selling 1 series gear. The more the merrier.

takahashi · 11-18-2009, 03:32 AM

Taste is someone you can't buy... you have to earn it.

Good find Cozza. I have to admit I once brought a set of 16" from CarShine for my Civic... that would have been 15 years ago.

I was having a shot at those subie drivers that seam to think a 5" drain pipe dragging behind their WRX makes them cool.

BMW with the 135 are targetting Subaru / Evo customers, hence the performance range hitting the 1er before other models.

FYI my last car was a Liberty GT, and I loved it. I would have bought another one but Japan refused to special order a GT with an interior other than black, hence the move to a BMW. They would not even consider it, despite the dealer principle at one of the more successful Subaru dealers in Aust who is a a good client trying to pull all available strings for me.
