  • [1013MM] Presents: 1013MM Introduction... BMW 135i About To Get Into Wheel Whoring...

    Hey guys! A lot of you might know me or don't know me. I'm John Zhang, the dude who runs 1013MM Photography and shoots a lot of BMWs on Canibeat. You might have also seen my shots in numerous online publications and printed magazines. BUT ANYWAY, I'm a noob here and here's my car...

    2009 BMW 135i - ordered it and waited dam near a year for it to get delievered. Never test drove the car, just wanted something different. The car's not the greatest looking, nor the most aggressive looking car, but it has one thing. It's exclusiveness.



    I kept it stock for a year.

    Then 2010 came along and people wanted to sponsor me so I caved and went with a BMW x JDM theme









    After that I stopped modding it for a while since I was more concentrated in my photography, but then I wanted to change it u a little so I started on the interior.



    A custom M3 steering wheel and sports seats were added.

    That was early 2010 and I thought I was done with the car, but apparently not... I've always wanted a lipped wheel for my car so I went with some 18" CCW LM20s along with a some JDM flare









    :datass:

    :datass:

    Went with the whole monopoly theme here


    A video I made during this stage


    I actually really liked the CCW stage, but decided to go for some more unique wheels, so while I was waiting on my new set of custom JDM wheels to be redone, I decided to sell the CCWs and got some filler wheels thanks to VMR wheels








    This is how the car looks as of 7-9-11, I have a lot more stuff coming in and my new set of wheels will be test fitted next week, before polish and powdercoating

    Here's something new... I swapped my mirrors for some more aggressive 1M mirrors.

        this. Is a sick picture!
        I was stuck behind 135i last week and was not impressed by the rear styling. Your car looks very clean tho! And that paint is mint!

            How long shutter time did you use here? or is it edited? Im guessing is it isn't tho

            Awesome pictures, you professional, right?

                ummm... why is my car jacked up????



                ummm... hello stud conversion, goodbye stud conversion....



                ummm... OMG!!!! BBS BOXES!!!!!




                wtf is going on here?!?!





                BBS Impul. Made in Japan. Rare. Google it. You won't find anything about it. This was a rushed job. The caps are supposed to be gold too. Problem is I needed the wheels looking done by this saturday for Socal Euro. So the caps will be dipped in gold after the meet. For now, it is what it is....

                          I liked the polished VMR stage alot, but those impuls are damn sexy as hell, know one other guy on bfc that has them for his E36, so i know what you mean by rare, and i'll be honest I close to shit myself when i saw that you landed a set as your newest pickup, congrats
