Getting Ready for Show Season...It's a Start haha
So I am part of a car club that attends a pretty decent amount of car shows. I just got my AW 135i in November so I don't have a lot of time to mod the car before my first show on March 27th, but I think I am off to a decent start. Just wanted to post a few pics of my car and 1 with a few car club guys.

Not bad, I like it.
However if you plan on trying to place at these shows the judges probably wanna see more originality than just a tii replica. |

Good start dude, Im trying to get back into the game too. I've been out of it for 2 years while being overseas. I miss it, can't wait to start showing again. Once I get settled in next month in my new place, the part ordering will begin while I wait for my car to make the swim across the pond
Good luck this season! Maybe we'll cross paths at some point, I'll keep a look out for ya. |

almost everything on my list will be completed before and during car show season. the only reason i am even showing it this yr is because i go to car shows with my car club as a team and i am not gonna leave them hanging. honestly i just love the shows so even if i win nothing this yr it wont matter to me because i just love it lol as we speak right now my car is at bmw getting the performance side skirts put on and shortly after i get it back i am going to be ordering the icarbon spoiler. then hopefully by mid march i will have the icarbon front lip. i will probably do performance stuff also i am just indecisive as to what i want to start with as far as performance haha off topic, but do we get a discount from icarbon at all for being part of 1addicts?

way more issues with pnp tunes than ecu flashes on these cars in general. not knocking jb or vishnu but for me, the reliability and customization of a true flash is way more appealing. I think just because JB has been marketed hard on these forums people automatically assume its the best out there, which isn't necessarily true. |

I have a local tuning company i work closely with so i understand your concern but with stuff like accessPORT and MYgenius, you can load and unload your tunes in a matter of minutes just like switching maps on a proceed or JB. besides you shouldn't have to reflash your car anyway, I had one on my 328xi for 2 yrs and never once needed a reflash. |

OP is this why you are going for the Cobb AP? Why did you choose the mods you did for your "coming soon" list?

I just did a lot of reading on the mods themselves and i wanted to go that route. I want to get the accessport because i have faith in the upcoming stages that havent been released and on top of that it will make it easier when i get a protune to detune it if i ever have to bring the car to bmw for a warranty issue.
I had an accessport on my ralliart and i know a lot of other people who have it too and i have never had or heard a complaint about it. I just trust COBB and their customer service was always great when i had questions. Theres no other logic behind the mods i chose other than i just like them and decided they are the ones i want lol |
