My 135i
by e82kid Wed Mar 14, 2012 3:03 am
Hey guys, heres my 2008 BMW 135i. I bought it about 3 weeks ago and already started modding it. 
This is when I went to pick her up from the dealership
Notice the car on the right *drool*
So far, the only exterior mod I did was a matte black grille. I ordered a carbon fiber trunk lip that should be coming in soon, I'll post a pic once it's installed.
I also installed a Burger Motorsport Dual Cone Intake today with the help of two of my friends who I think you guys know pretty well ;)
The next thing I want to do is to get my windows tinted. After that hopefully a JB4 tune, which should make the car much faster, and then a exhaust.
If anyone has any opinions of what I should do please voice them! This is the first car that I'm modding and any input will be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Nice 135!!!
IMHO start with suspension, cosmetic then performance mods. Make sure you are able to use all your power effectively, make the car look the way you want it to (sounds and looks) then add moar power.
This being said, i would start with tints and suspension. Add exhaust after (DP + CBE), intercooler and then tune with bolt ons
Good luck and i look forward to seeing this progress.

good stuff so far. JB4 tune is a must of this car!
all depends on what kinda look you are trying to achieve. i would light smoke the headlights. rims, BMW performance exhaust. if its stick get a CDV (clutch delay valve)...makes shifting alot smoother. white angel eyes. thats all i can think for now. Will post more stuff when i think of it ;)

Thanks for the suggestions bro. Yeah I know JB4 is a must, since it's adjustable I can change the maps depending on the mods I have. And I wish I had a manual! :(
And for angel eyes, I don't know which company I should go for. I think the LUX angel eyes, which I'm sure is one of the brightest, is too pricey.

Looks good. First thing I did notice was the McLaren 
Have you considered getting any of the Dynan Tunes or Mods?

Ah I wish my car was stick, those are some cool knobs though thanks!
And I am planning on getting a piggyback tune called JB4 FarShark. Dinans are way too expensive!
