As an aside, I think I may try to go stop by the West Coast VDC at Port Hueneme tomorrow too to see where our west coasters' cars "became IS's" though may just be me taking a picture of a sign out front. |

Well, coming off the ship, alas, it's just a plain old 135i until it spends a week at the port getting all its special IS stuff installed.
Will see what I can do tomorrow though, if I even have the right address. |

thanks, man. i really love it too. i actually saw a couple of photos of it (DSB) and ordered it sight unseen because i "wanted a blue car"....i really loved the weird ocean-like shades of blue it puts out in dark and light. it's very interesting! I've never actually owned a 'metallic' painted car before, as my previous cars were all either black or white.....so it sometimes feels weird for me to have so much colour!! Obviously you moved on to an even more colourful colour! nice

Our cars are just plain old N55 135i (with M-Sport but I think M-Sport is standard). At the port, they install the black mirror caps, black lines, PPK 2, PE, and 313s. I am not sure about the black/blue stitch seats + blue bordered floor mats; I suspect that's mounted at the factory.

At the port they install PPK2, take off stock exhaust and put on the Performance Exhaust, install all the exterior and interior IS badging, and stainless steel pedals (if manual I think).
We don't get blacklines, as much as I wish we did as they're not DOT legal in the US, but the cars come with the 313s on them and black side mirrors, unless of course you get a black or carbon black, in which case you get body-colored side mirrors. And if you need me, I'll be at the port tomorrow, with pics! |

Pff, if anything, I'm taking them OFF the IS's and laughing maniacally as I run out of the building. So I will be taking some clamps with me...WHEN I LEAVE and hop into my awaiting rental car!
Will post pics of that as well since I'm a 135is owners and I've been instructed to show you my car per the thread title. Just hoping it's not korean. |

Now that my 3-month wait is over, I can contribute to this thread in a proper fashion!
Here's an imgur album of a few more shots. View post on imgur.com

Woo hoo! Congrats, Worra! The car looks fantastic! For a minute I thought it was jet black since it looks exactly like mine in some of the photos. The color is awesome.
So jealous of your blue stitching - my car came off the dealer lot, so that's the only option I really wanted that I wasn't able to get. Welcome to the club!! |

The car looks beautiful Worra!!!!!!!
Any plans for it? And please don't slam it like what others are saying. IMO, BMWs look beautiful the way it is. If you really want to drop it, just go with BMW performance suspension. Can't go wrong with an OEM setup. And your 313 wheels look so sick..

i drove a Cayman as well....loved it...but it didn't have the practicality OR commute-ability (not a word) that the 135is had. if it suits your needs though, it could work.
