Thumbs up Pics: My black 135i with gloss black grills and spacers installed

Installed OEM gloss black BMW Performance grills and Macht Schnell spacers (15mm F, 12mm R) for a wider stance and better handling. Looks much better now. Should look even better after a drop. Pics after a quick hand wash today.















To show stance with wheel spacers.

Absolutely no steering wheel shake or wobble at any speed! These spacers are nicely designed and look great in black. The car feels more stable going around corners and off ramps. I'm going to take a trip up to the Blue Ridge Pkway in N. Carolina and would like to see how the car feels around mountain curves and sweepers. The RFT tires are not the best for grip, and I imagine changing them, like my last BMW, will improve overall handling. I recommend these Macht Schnell spacers to the 1addicts community. Oh, and the more aggressive looking stance is the cherry on top.

Looks great! The spacers give the OEM setup a real nice stance.

Im really liking the gloss black grills. What are your next mods? Maybe some VMR V701's in HS or GM?

car looks very nice and clean! love the stance. Dont expect too much performance with the spacers if you are using stock springs etc, you will notice more of a diff when you swap out your suspension!
