New to me 135i

[Moveitsmikey]

Just bought a 13 M-Sport a couple weeks ago and I love it!!!

Wanted to introduce myself and be part of this group forum based app. Michael from AZ and I'm addicted to bmws as this is my 5th one now.

Here's results of a 10 hour detail Claybar 2 stage paint correction glaze and handwax. I'm exhausted but happy with the results!

Welcome.

The hard work paid off. Car looks great!

Love that color combo.

Digging the e39 wagon, hoping to buy my old one back in a year or so after my nephew abuses it...

Welcome to the forum!

[1and1]

Welcome to 1Addicts!

Car is looking great

You'll be glad to know that BSM is the fastest color!
(Black Sapphire Metallic)

Congrats. Every time I see coral red interior I think about trading my car in to buy a 1er with it.

Welcome!

I'm new here myself. This place is great and a wealth of knowledge!

Welcome...

Love your color combo!

My first 1er had it. I still miss Coral Red.

Congrats on a great car! The more you drive it the more you'll like it!

[Moveitsmikey]

Thanks everyone! I wasn't sure about the red leather at first but it's really grown on me now. If any of you are registered on maxbimmerforum.com find Sickfinga he has the production numbers from bmw for every car made for color combo. Turns out BSM on coral is rather rare...

Just to give an idea only 34 were built in 2013 my model yr BSM on Coral. Only 1 in Canada. From 2008 to 2013 only 241 BSM on coral. Throw in the DCT and M-Sport PKG the numbers drop staggeringly more low.

I’m off Frank Lloyd Wright and the 101 but I’m usually in Phoenix or Gilbert.

welcome.. youre now a slave to what we refer to as "the 1er"
nice ride btw.. enjoy it!!
when you get a chance maybe you can go down the options it has and what your future plans are with the car..
wish i had the patience to do all that buffing!

[Gangplank]

Welcome. Red & Black is a great combo. Nice work on the detail. I need to learn how to make the paint come out that good.

[shhpaul]

Future plans for the car are maintenance items such as spark plugs, DCT trans fluid change and gear oil drain and fill.

Cosmetics: Repaint front bumper, also eventually hood. Has it's fair share of rock-chips, full clea rbra on the hood and bumper.

Fun stuff: just going to go FBO and MHD tune

Aesthetics: plan to get BBS CHR wheels in gunmetal most likely stay 18s all around.

Upgrade the boring glacier interior trim to all carbon fiber, including paddle shift extenders.

Suede shiftboot and e brake and include M stitching. ( same goes for steering wheel )

All I can think of at the moment. In 6 months I'll be applying ceramic coating to entire car.

Hahah thanks I taught myself and also gained some knowledge over the years. I used to detail for a living for a couple years but really started getting more into it recently as a hobby thing for my car

Thanks a lot! It was an intense amount of labor. Watch YouTube videos on detailing it will help a lot. Ask lots of questions too. Also pick yourself up a DA polisher.. it will pay for itself
