Great article, coverage, and great job building both cars, Harold! I'd love to convert my 135i Coupe like yours.

Nice article. I'm wondering why the 135 didn't have a 225/255 setup?

A stock 135i is a little bit boring? Perhaps to an automotive journalist who gets to drive all sorts of exotic cars and probably owns a 10 year old Honda.
