Bit the bullet, and went for it...
So I purchased a 09' 128i back in March. It was my first BMW, and I loved it! But couldn't resist the 135i, so I traded it in, and I got a 08' 135i in AW with Terracota Boston Leather (Brown, forgot exact name) I had a bunch of parts waiting for me, but did most of the cosmetics so far! I still have my JB4 G5, DCI, and LUX V3s
So far, BMW CF Diffuser BMW CF Trunk Spoiler BMW Performance Exhaust BMW CF Mirror Caps BMW Performance Calipers BMW Performance Drilled/Slotted Rotors BMW Performance 19" 313 Wheels (245s Michelins rear, 225s Bridgestones front) Black Kidney Grilles (swapping with CF kidney grilles soon) LUX V3s BMS DCI JB4 G5 Mods to be added: Blackline LCI Taillights Front Lip Catless Downpipe N55 OEM Midpipes Chargepipe Sport Springs (BMW Performance or idk yet!) Maybe a car wrap? I just love that OEM look, and N54 FTW! Last edited by nacaruh; 06-17-2016 at 01:19 AM.. |

Are those rims OEM BMW or replica? If they are OEM, the offsets are really low for our cars IMO (from all the readings I've done). Are your fenders rolled? Are you experiencing any rubbing? Those are the only wheels I want to get but the low offsets scare me. Now that I know someone else has done it then it should work. Please post more pics!!!!! |

Very nice ride! I like the Kerschner front lip. Its simple and clean looking and price is not too bad http://www.1addicts.com/forums/showthread.php?t=407829. I really like the look of the 19's on it.

And Marc, those are OEM 313s, fenders not rolled (but I need too), and so far I've really had no rubbing issues unless I hit a huge bump... And with the low offsets, the car handling is still as smooth as OEM, but I definitely have more control of the car! I'll put up more pictures when I get the chance. I've just been really busy with work lately... T_T Oh, I forgot one thing. Car is not lowered, and it's on stock m-sport suspension. Especially with 19s, I personally would not recommend lowering it lol Last edited by nacaruh; 08-29-2013 at 07:18 AM.. |

Sorry for being late with the pictures! I put up some more, and I'll get some detailed pictures on the tires and fender (not the best photographer). Hope this can somewhat help make your decision =D

OMG you car looks sexy! Not to be biased, but I don't really see THAT big of a difference between the 18" 313's and the 19" 313's. (Both look sexy!) That's like my "dream" look for my car.
The 19" is perfect for the current ride height and car size. If you intend to do a drop, I'd suggest downsizing to 18". Might I also suggest the BMW perf. side skirts? I'm not sure if I can see it right but I don't see the BMW perf. rear calipers. Do you have 'em? |

I'll definitely take a look into the side skirts. I think they're still on sale from getbmwparts.com , and yes, I have the rear calipers as well (Just put in a picture). |

Great car man, would love to see more pics of the BMW CF diffusor. The OEM diffusor is probably my biggest gripe with the way the car looks, completely stock. I've seen other (cheaper) 3rd party CF diffusors but the fitment never looks perfect enough, is the BMW worth the cash?

Sorry about the first shot, a part of my finger wanted to come into the shot... It's a perfect fit in my opinion, and there are plenty of other aftermarket diffusors that are just as good as the BMW OEM, but I'm just really picky that's all And I definitely need to do more research on them coilovers!
