My first post here... Looking forward to being a part of this group.

We just picked up a 135i from Crevier and it looks like (with some luck), we'll be racing it at the end of May at Willow Springs with BMW CCA Club Racing.

Come out and watch - or better yet, come do the school that weekend - should be a blast!!!

The car will be at Bimmerfest in the Borla tent.

Check out our Photo Gallery - we'll be updating it with pics from the build-up as we go...

Cheers,
-Ralph Warren

This is great! Please keep us up to date on the build. Between your car and the one entered in OLOA, you're doing all the R & D for us addicts. Thanks.

Since Larry showed that 255/17s will fit up front, we've been looking at the 17" options that are out there, but no final decision yet.

Looking to do 17x8.5s on all 4 corners.
