New to the forum! Here is my car(s)

Hey All!

I am new to the forum but I am a long time BMW owner. I recently purchased a 135i that I have been customizing, still have a few plans for it. Let me know what you think, the e36 m3 is mine as well.

Welcome

you need to get black kidney grills and IMO the hood is a bit too much.

The 135i looks like the natural evolutionary offspring of the E36 M3. Both cars are gorgeous.

Maybe some covers for the reflectors, tint, and lower it for starters... You have any performance upgrades or just making it look good for now?

What reflectors do you mean?

Tint will be coming in spring. As for performance I plan on working on that over next winter. I will be looking into a tune and an intake. Would also like a nice sounding bov
