Teaser Pics~Upgrading to 135i Brakes & OEM Strut Brace

taichi · 06-09-2010, 01:36 AM

So having an opportunity to jump on a sweet deal, I got a set of almost new OEM 135i brakes & rotors from a forum member jzhang and after long struggle on wether putting them on or not, I finally put it on today. The reason why I struggle is because I have lots of bill to pay

and I have also purchased a program from bmw which will cover all my rotors and brake pads wear for 4 years and once I put them on, the extra warranty will be void. Anyways, they are finally on and I want to post some teaser pics to share!

Special thanks to John who supplied the brakes to me with a good deal. (next time mail them as gifts!

)
Special thanks to Billy from TS Auto Design who educated me on what I need for the upgrade and arranging installation for me!

For all who thinks this is a very hard upgrade, it is actually quite straight forward, you just need to make sure u have all the necessary parts.

What you must have:
2 x 135i Front Callipers
2 x 135i Front Rotors
2 x 135i Rear Callipers
2 x 135i Rear Rotors

-Make sure you have the mounting bracket for the front.
-Your car must be AUTOMATIC, coz you will lost your hand brake unless you want to spend almost 2k for the 135i knuckle system

Actual performance increase is barely noticeable during normal city driving. I do it mainly for the looks. Same as the strut brace. I'm quite happy with the result, maybe time for some 5 spoke rims!

Warning! Rims are very dirty!!
