HID's are actually the bulbs that light up the angel eyes... I meant a different color, Alpine 8k's would look nice.

Interior pics?

Love the LCI tails, I thought they changed the angels to looks like the new 3 though. Still looks awesome.

You didn't waste any time getting to the mods. Did you purchase new or lease?

Looks great

[Everfly]

Drop and smoke out front headlight next?

[WhiteTgr135i]

I purchased it brand new, bought, never lease. And i am mostly doing exterior / interior mods, not really touching the engine until i rack up more miles.

Next will be M3 sways, strut tower brace, Dinan lowering springs (maybe), c/f rear diffuser, bmw performance rear lip, front lip, boost gauge, and c/f interior. Engine mods will have to wait .

Haha mod bugs
I like AW on black wheels. M3 sway and bushing would be nice cause the sus on 135i is very shity, kerscher front lips will look good on AW
Just picked mine up feb and already mod too. Tinted 35%, CF diffuser, CF front lips, drop on H&R SSS very easy to do i say go for it cause look much better, potenza RE760, BP front grill, GTR vent hood CF, AA front strut brace ( couldn't resist to spend $1k plus for BP) BMS LED AE (not the best money can buy), smoke side marker, smoked the reverse tail light and front corner lights (look great), CCWs wheels coming next month, P3 vent gauge will be next. Injen intake and exhaust cat back installed but recently removed and sold, K&N drop in to accommodate with the CF GTR vent hood, now in the market for another exhaust, i saw you have straigh pipe before what happen?
Same like you I am gonna wait for engine mods since warranty which I care the most right now until all the issues fix which COBB will be ready. Anyhow enjoy mod ur car.

^ I still have the straight pipe . It's a straight pipe welded onto Agency Powers titanium exhaust twin tip. Agency Powered exhaust for the E82 had garbage fitment, thus why i just cut the muffler off and welded the tips onto a straight pipe.

I would love to get H&R lowering springs, but that will void my warranty haha. I had a drop-in filter, but damn dealership told me "that voids warranty" which i know it doesn't but don't feel like dealing with there drama.

I see. How could they void the warranty with the springs? The only thing they don't cover is strut wear. And drop in void the warranty? U need to go with different dealer or removed it before go in for service.

I'm just taking my time on the modding, enjoying the car, seeing the limits on the stock suspension, after all, the 11-12's had revised suspension, so it's a little stiffer. As for the drop-in filter voiding the warranty, i knew the guy didn't know his sh*t, saying my "K&N drop-in voids all warranty in the engine bay", when it was an "aFe drop-in filter". I just left, went to a different dealership, and they didn't ask any questions .

Welcome! your in the OC too.. hope to see you around.

Last night around 11:40pm, on my way home between Serrano Ave. and Katella in Orange, literally, 20 seconds away from my home, i got into an accident.

I was in the far left lane about to turn left, and there was a crotch rocket on the far right lane about to turn right. He had a passenger, and i noticed the passenger and the driver were talking, and before i knew it, the crotch rocket decided to cut a lane, and merge into my car. He didn't even bother looking back to see if anybody was behind him.

No damage to his bike, but my car received quite some damage. The first thing he said "Dude, i am so sorry! I didn't even see you". I said "Well, that's because you didn't bother looking back when merging". He then explained "It's me and my girlfriends first night out on a date, so i wasn't really paying attention to the roads". One of the dumbest excuses I've heard, especially in a crotch rocket.

So called my insurance company, the usual shi*, playing the waiting game. 100% his fault, and he admitted more then 30 times last night stating it was his fault. Just got my brand new 135i back in October of last year, not to happy about this...

Now onto the photos (passenger side mirror, passenger side front fender, passenger side door and front bumper all have damage) :

jesus christ. make sure you go to a top tier body shop. i wouldnt worry too much about it though. adds character. think james bond.

[wibbit]

that sux. at least he didn't try to blame it on you

[Everfly]

wow, that's really suck bud. dont spare the dough, get the top body shop since insurance pay for it. i feel you right now.

[WhiteTgr135i]

I am going to take it to a BMW dealership to have it fixed. Trust me, when it happened, all i said was "Are you serious...."?

[IancoleTX]

Shame about the accident, car is looking awesome though. Love the black 261s.
