-=Goo$e=- 135i to 1M build thread

Hi everyone. My name is Vadik (_@goose2105) and i live in Russia. Decided to share with community my little story. Maybe it will help someone and be good motivator
One year and a half ago i bougth 135i'08 6 speed manual.
The first time i brought it home and gave a good wash

It was well speced already by previous owner:
1. JB4 g4
2. coolingmist
3. Seibon carbon bonnet
4. KW var2 suspension
5. m3 front and rear swaybars
6. V3 vent gauge
7. VMR v710 wheels
8. Hartge rear diffusor+ quad exhaust


Having read lots of 1addicts and n54tech - have decided to istal LSD quaife.

Really it was great upgrade.
Then i did intake cleaning - 6 hours of my live wasted but with good results

After this i decided to upgrade my JB4 to G5 board - it was really good idea.
When the summer came - i decided to bring my little bimmer to it's homeland


and to show it some life in Monaco

When the cristmas came i decided that my little bimmer deserve some good present


Then i found interesting arcticle of Ilikebmxbikes on this forum and thought- wow. (Actually i was for 1m bmw when they had their marketing compaing - but my dealer ignored my request for the 1m )
Then i read about MYBAd 135 and project Venom - thanks quys - it was really motivational/
I found the full spec list what should i buy to do the conversion (thanks againg ilikebmxbikes) and began to think - do i really need it or it doesn't worth it -- so one day i found this mess around my garrage

I took me several hours to strip out the car


And several hours more to put it all together



Here i understand that i got a lot



At this point i took my car to the shop ( thx tech_bmw) and one month of the conversion began. So this is how it was:











As the time goes something was created




And the time for paint work came





At last i saw something like this



Having spent lots of $ for the car i had to use some tpi spacers with beautiful tpi wheelnuts



During the paint work guys were making matrix for the rear diffusior ( decided to make copy of it)



At last the time for final wash and cleaning after the conversion came






So this is how it was in foto - maybe it will help someone to make better choice

thanks everyone for the atention and time for reading

The next mod for the car is ready on the shelf and waiting for warmer time

all m3 suspension part, whiteline and powerflex bushings + goodridge braided brake lines with motul rbf660

Epic transformation. Your workshop did a great job.

Now upgrade those tai lights to some blackline LCI and it's perfect.

Yes you do. It's probably one of the cheapest and noticeable upgrades available. It will look 10 x better. Do it
