Since May 2014 I have owned my prized possession, a 2011 lemans blue 135i.

Over the these past few years I been active on the forums and since I have decided it’s only right to introduce my car, share my story and start a new chapter.

It started off as a lemans blue 135i, I purchased it in goodwill from a young gentleman who was starting a family. I picked the car up for just under 24k US and it only had 28k miles on it! It was the steal of a lifetime for a college kid like me who spent his whole weekends in high school working to afford a car instead of partying.



I started off with the basic bolt ons everyone does. Chargepipe, piggyback, ppk, exhaust, intake and methanol injection.




Mid June last year a set of railway tracks destroyed my stock wheels and the company Who owned the tracks decided to cover the price of new wheels and tires, so Apex Arc-8 it was. Followed by eibach lowering springs.




I also took a chance and retrofitted f8x paddles to my bmw performance steering wheel. If you have a dct, the paddles can be picked up for relatively cheap on eBay and it’s well worth it! Big shout out to Yeineken





I have since decided to take things to the next level. A full 1M conversion, starting with the front and hopefully by May next year the rear will be done. The car is currently being wrapped in 3M satin dark Grey s261.






I have a bunch of parts on order. 135i/1M molded side skirts, Will be picking up the fenders this Monday! Bumper is a few weeks out from Germany and many of the miscellaneous parts still need to be ordered! From here on out I will do a weekly update!
