UK black 135i
Finally got round to taking a few pics of my car the other week, sorry for the iphone quality. I bought it standard about 2 months ago.
Mods are: Standard 261's powder coated gloss black Michelin Pilot Sport 3 tyres, 225/40 front, 255/35 rear - soo much better than run flats! BMWP kidney grills with standard 135i vertical slats CDV replaced with modified version - made a massive difference BMWP exhaust - sounds amazing after 500 miles or so, especially with the windows all the way down De-locked drivers door I'm seriously considering a JB3, but I think I'll do a few trackdays in it as it is first, then decide in a few more months. I really can't think what car I want after this one, it's great! |

Looks mean, I especially like the euro headlights and the vertical chrome kidneys!
I hate to be negative but I'd have to change the uneven tinting, but that's just me.

Thanks for the comments!
Nope, not running any spacers, I think it's just the slightly fatter tyres. I'm considering 10mm spacers all round. Anyone have any recommendations on good spacers? |

Yo John
- take the 135i badge off - get matte black or carbon fiber black overlay stickers for the bmw badges (hood, trunk, wheels, steering wheel) - carbon fiber performance spoiler? Then our cars can be brothers lol |

A few pictures from a trackday I did on Saturday at a local RAF airbase. The 135i performed faultlessly despite the 25 to 30degree heat. Over about 80 miles I got 8.2 mpg.

Did you do your CDV yourself or have a shop do it? Love the powder coated wheels, looks great.
