[1013MM] Presents: Rainy Day Mini-Shoot Yoshi's 6th Time Playing In Rain In 1.5 Years

1013mm · 11-20-2010, 04:54 PM

Long story short, a day ago I decided to wake up at 3AM to wash my car squeaky clean. But FML by night it started to rain and the car look kinda cool wet so I snapped some pics. This is the car's 6th time in the rain after 1.5 years of owning it, yes I can keep count since it's a garage queen with less than 8500 miles on it...... Enjoy as much as I did... I went home dripping.....

Before:

SHINE!

FML Rain:

Oh and did I mention I got a new steering wheel? It's a custom M3 steering wheel, a little thicker with no tri-colors or a poser M badge....

Will take better pics of the steering wheel once the weather is better. BIG THANKS to ALEX@HELIX for this, came in quicker than expected AND in a french fry box... what more could I have asked for!?!

Just before you leave... here's the next teaser....

Very nice! Why'd you skip out on the tri colors though?

MarkR171 · 11-20-2010, 05:09 PM

So who's Christina?

I'm sure he skipped on the tri colors because um... his car isn't an M car. I have the M-Sport package on my 135, but I don't care for all the M badges, it's a 135i, not a 1-M. The black headliner was a must have though, so M-Sport it was.

Beautiful car, but I still think 19s are too big, the rear looks too tall.

avsbmw · 11-20-2010, 05:09 PM

beautiful work!

bmwmike335 · 11-20-2010, 06:27 PM

poser is when they put M badges on a base 328 or a 645 or 528 or something. If you HAVE the M pkg its not poser cuz BMW would never allow that

the M pkg weather a 128 or 328 is very worthy of the M badge. The handling suspension is day and nigh difference between stock, and with the price people are paying a little M logo is pretty acceptable.

NewYearsBoy · 11-20-2010, 07:47 PM

WOW... U car looks great!!!

Except the same suspension comes from the "normal" Sport package. M-Sport only adds different wheels, badges, and a black headliner. Like I said though, headliner alone is worth it.

Hell, the suspension is standard on a 135, as is the "M" body kit.

Looks great man.

aherm...

exactly. No M stuff on a non-M bmw, that's just me. I have a racked setup for my suspension thats why it looks tall.

I just don't think so. Just my opinion though.

Interior is now. DONE!

MarkR171 · 11-20-2010, 11:29 PM

Is your wheel actually thicker than the Sport/Msport/M3 wheel? Or just thicker than the non-sport wheel? Did you get paddles retrofitted?

It's thicker than even the M3 oem steering wheel, by just a tad bit.

HACKULO · 11-21-2010, 01:09 AM

Sarracino89 · 11-21-2010, 01:17 AM

Ahh, no i didn't see this. I was thinking your steering wheel, cuz I Brightened up your "teaser picture" but I couldn't discern it from the stock one. And I am hoping you got some 18's this time around

Cool! The OEM M3 wheel is the exact same as the 1 series Sport/M-sport wheel btw. Other than the colored stitching.

escobar929 · 11-21-2010, 02:23 PM

looks great man! what AE's are you running?

Sarracino89 · 11-21-2010, 02:34 PM

Btw. just noticed the VMR banner, or just haven't seen it in previous photos, but looks good. I will probably be heading down to EaS and VMR after the holidays to pick up my wheels and tires

Alex@Helix · 11-21-2010, 03:17 PM
