Sonic MS did the suspension install. Sorry for the crappy iPhone pics.

What size spacers you running? looks great!

Thanks for the complement. I'm running 18mm front and 12mm rear. That's the most aggressive sizes you can run with the stock wheels and tires. I just got new Dunlops and they're wider than stock and have a squarer shoulder so I'm going to Sonic MS on Monday to figure out a new setup.

Wie gehts, mein freunds? I'm Brian from Walnut Creek/Concord area.

Only mods are tint, clutch stop, and M3 sway bar. BMW Performance SSK coming soon, along with exhaust and VMR's.

We should do a Mt. Diablo cruise or something and meet at the top.

I've always wanted to do a Mt. Diablo drive/cruise. Heard good things about it

HappyNDing · 09-25-2011, 01:53 PM

Nice to see more Bay Area 1addicts! I live in the East Bay but I commute everyday to Milpitas, I've seen quite a few 135i's on the 680 daily and they were mostly AW like mine!

Boxtyp3 · 09-25-2011, 03:47 PM

Jeffrey here checking in from Fremont. Car is stock for now till I figure out if I'm gonna keep it or get an E92 M3.

spiral · 09-27-2011, 03:48 PM

Met a fellow 1er yesterday at Sonic MS. We both have BSM 135i's. I told him about this forum so we'll see if he shows up. He has some nice mods: ST coilovers, Dinan Stage 1 tune, CAI & Exhaust, and he was there getting some new Forgestar f14's.

jayparry · 09-27-2011, 03:54 PM

Lets make something happen guys! Im always down for drive and meeting all you brilliant folks.

Hey guys, names Alex, drive a Montego Blue 135, 6 spd, m-sport. JB4 on it's way. I am in Rohnert Park/Sonoma. I would love to get a cruise going, I just moved up here and don't know any good roads yet! I was spoiled with the hills of Malibu.

If you have a smart phone you can download the BMW Ultimate Drive app. It shows you what 'fun' roads there are in a certain area. Being in sonoma though, I know the drive to lake Berryessa and Hwy 1 are fun.

Thanks for the recommendation. I think I'll do mine at Rocky Mountain in Livermore. It's a little closer to me and I've also heard many good things about them.

Good choice. Not to exaggerate or oversell them, but they are THE BEST--as good as it gets. Those guys really know what they're doing.

I'm sure that would be a nice drive, but I dont think there's a tint shop there.

Whoa ! seriously?!?!

How long have you had your 1 for? I doubt that I've seen you around even thought we're from the same city

ilikebmxbikes · 10-03-2011, 02:04 PM

hey guys
I'm trying to gauge some general interest on where we would like to have a meet.

I am located in SF and am willing to drive out to the east bay or even the south bay. Id like to find somewhere pretty central to most of us and somewhere we can get some decent photos. Does anyone have a recommendation?

Also, If anyone local wants some BMW Performance 269's for cheap, please PM me. I will sell them very cheap to any local's who can pick them up.

This one I've had for a couple of months. I used to have a blue '09 135 and a red 08 335.

Where about in Herc are you?

ilikeBMXbikes, what about meeting in Emeryville/Berkeley Marina area?
