xmas gift

mschrube · 12-05-2010, 02:47 PM

So christmas is swiftly approaching and my parents are asking me for ideas of what I want. Im now 20 years old gettin close to 21 in a few months so Im past the whole "toy" thing and I all want is mods for my car. I have a 2010 jet black 135i. The only "mods" i have are a RHO Tow Plate, bumperplugs, and black kidney grills. I have already told them Id like: BMS DCI, headlight reflector covers, tail light tinting, and black badges. I need some help with some other mods to ask for if anyone would like to chime in...Thanks!

I agree. If someone starts out with a 135i, what do they expect by age 30?

Took me till age 30 to afford a car like this.

228iconvert · 12-06-2010, 12:35 PM

Wow 21 and have a 135i! It took me until I was 24 and graduated college with my first job to buy a used 325is. But at the age of 21 I did have a 87 Nissan 300-ZX so not complaining! But even well into my 30's I am still looking for toys on Christmas. Right now there is nothing more I want than mods to my 135i. I was thinking maybe pedals or carbon fiber spliters.

Some of us paid or are paying for these cars with our own money. My parents never bought me a car or anything huge like that. I expect to have about 3 more cars by the time I'm 30. All classic ( 50s, 60s ) as seems to be the way that my interests are taking me these days.

cars are one thing my family does not mess around with. i got a silverado ss for my first car. had that for about 3 years then took my dads '08 silverado for a few months waiting for my 135i to ship here after the euro delivery

honestly my dad told me this is the last car he is buying me which i am fine with. I plan to keep this thing forever I love it. Slowly going to mod it out all the way and when I get a family i will have a family car and this will be my fun car

hopefully my family car will be an X6-M!

Id like pedals as well I just cant decide which ones. I like the ones on bimmian.com but i cant decide what finish I like. Im leaning towards the non slip brushed chrome.

Damn I got an 88 ford escort from my mom when I was 16 and that was the greatest gift in the world. It got me and my friends around for cheep. Her being a single mom and paying for my insurance and giving me her old car was really more then I could ask for. Many cars sense that and now being 29 I'm getting my 135I. don't take your parents for granted wether the bought you a car or helped you out wit paying for one just let them know you appreciate it.

I let them know plenty! My parents help me out so much and tell me all the time that I deserve what I get whether it be a new car or kicked out of the house. So far im doin pretty good if I still can go home when I take breaks from school
