I'm not a fan of the amber lights either but ours come clear stock standard in Australia

Hi folks
i liked always this forum to get some ideas. now it is my turn to give some (maybe). here is my wife's new car. i like it more than my 335d. mods already done: rear windows tint, shadow line grill, rear diffusor, front air intakes and the wheels (VMR 710: 19x8.5 et 45 with Hankook S1 225/35 and 9.5x19 with Hankook 255/30). Lowered with KW V2 Inox coilover about 1.5 inches on the front and 1 inch rear.
I hope you like it also.

Sweet Car BMWLI !!

How did you get hold of the VMR wheels in switzerland? You have an 'importeur' over there?

Just picked up my 2011 AW 135i from South Carolina. I highly recommend this option if you can't make it to Germany! The driving instruction was a blast and the factory tour was fascinating.

Here are a few pics of my modest modifications: performance grilles, Skene Design front license plate bracket, mud flaps, and Hartge trunk lip spoiler. Contrary to what I've read online, I did have to remove the factory spoiler to install the Hartge. It was fairly easy with dental floss, a rag, and WD-40 to remove the residue. I mounted the new spoiler with 3M automotive adhesive tape and it ain't budgin'!

I also opted for active steering. I was torn because there were no cars in my area to test drive, so all I had to go on were the online reviews. Let me tell you, this option is incredible! After driving on the track for 2 hours in a "regular" 135i, I jumped into my new car and it felt totally natural. There was no learning curve whatsoever. It simply makes the car more nimble and sportier. BMW definitely has a marketing problem with this option since it is so difficult to find a car to test drive. If anyone is on the edge, go for it. You will not be disappointed!

BMW86 · 08-15-2010, 08:45 PM

Nice ride tomkiti. I also wanted to try out Active Steering but couldn't find a demo car to test it out. Also, it was a premium option at around $3k+ here so I was quick to pass it up. Car looks very clean. I'm not a fan of the mud flaps though.

Haagen-Dazs · 08-15-2010, 09:15 PM

Active steering is great... I can say this based on my dads CLS, and it's amazing how soft it is at parking speeds and it gets harder with higher speeds.
