Whats going on boys? Recently picked up a new digital camera, so I figured I'd take some picks of the 1er. I've resisted from posting much in the past because I'm trying to learn more sh*t before I speak, but I do have a bachelors in mechanical engineering... I previously drove a SUV so I am relatively new to what I like to call "enthusiastic driving".

I got my 135i in June of 2008 and its been used as my daily driver (12,500 miles so far). All I can say is the performance is mind boggling. The car has been a pleasure, save a less than cordial meeting with a large pothole and a fully replaced HPFP.

I don't have any real mods at this point, but am certainly interested/trying to get some money set aside. I'm really interested in the Dinan Stage 2 or AA Processor, Dinan exhaust (black tip only) or custom pipes with stock muffler and possibly an intake or intercooler. Looking for any advice...

Anyways, hope you guys enjoy the picks.

Great pictures and color combo. Glad to hear you love the ride after one year, hopefully many more to come.

...and you just gotta love it when your state's license plate color-coordinates with your car!

Go for the performance pedals. It's an easy to do upgrade, and makes the cockpit look sportier.

Looks like he put plugs in where the original license plate holes were drilled.

I would come, where can I find info?

The bumps are what I've put together to mask the brutal job my dealer did, they're bumper plugs.

Thanks for the complements guys
