The ugly duckling; my BMW 135i build.

[Daffy]

I thought Eurotuner was done a few months back. Ps I also have some OEM E46 M3 19's we can try. If you've never tried anything in the +35 offset you should do it. On my CLK everyone on the forums said that only an 8.5+32 is what fits and that at +20 it's stretching it. I fit some 19x9.5+25 nicely up front. Let me know if you want to stop by and fit a wheel.

Sweet! I'll probably end up sticking with 18"s because 19"s on this tiny car look funny, but it'd be interesting to see how the +35 offset lines up. I'll probably end up running +40 in the front and +35-40 in the rear just to play it safe with fender work but we'll see.

Really nice work dude !! The e82 is my favorite BMW and simple like that it is really cool, thank's

Thanks! Yeah I love the E82, it's not something you see every day. I just wish we got the hatches over here in the US

I want a 135i in the worst way. Car looks really good!

I have a love-**** relationship with mine. Sometimes it's my favourite thing in the world, and others it just makes me want to break things. (This was mainly in relation to installing my suspension). It's a really fun car though, if you ever get the chance to test-drive one you should!

As far as updates go not much has changed. I'm still saving for wheels and tires, and plan to get a whole front end respray at the end of summer. Which means maybe a new bumper, trunk, and some other fun things I've figured out performance mods as well, but I'll fill everyone in more on that later on. Sorry for the slow build, but if I rushed it where'd the suspense be?

Sometimes I wish I hadn't bought a new truck and just bought a 1er.

Looks sweet though!

If you ever have the chance you should try and buy one of these, like I said before they are fun little cars. Not to mention with a few mods you can make them absolute track beasts. With just an FMIC, DPs, and JB4 ECU flash most people are getting numbers like 415ish WHP/WTQ. Then when you start to add intakes and meth injection and such this little car easily becomes an M3 killer. I think they're one of the most overlooked platforms, and it's great to see more and more people finally realizing that

I love it..

Thanks Oxer!

Oh you Special thanks to this guy for all the help so far, he's also the one who got me into the whole lowered car scene last year. He got me out of my lesbian-mobile Jeep Wrangler and got me into this car instead.

Oh and we shall be lowering the front back down a bit tomorrow in preparation for Golden Gardens the next day. If anyone else is going send me a PM and we can exchange numbers and such so I can meet some more local car enthusiasts.

I feel all like... Cool inside lol

The wrangler woulda been cool if it was a lifted rubicon on superswampers...

We also need to lower my booty, saw my muffler off, and wax my paint...

[_add1ct]

Looks good man! Im jealous of your interior lol
We have similar tastes Im not a huge fan of unpainted carbon panels lol

Yeah but it drove like poop and the spedometer only reached 100, so obviously it was poop. Nah it wasn't that bad of a car, but definitely wasn't a BMW either.

Well by now you've already done all those things. Now to get rid of that dent...

Thanks! Yeah I have a feeling I'm really going to enjoy your build. Tell you what, I'll trade you my red interior for your bags lol

UPDATES: So seeming as I need one new panel and a new bumper, I've been heavily considering doing a front widebody conversion. I'd probably go with the ER Widebody, seeming as it fits and isn't too much due to mass produced pieces. Down the road I'm thinking of having custom rear fenderwork done to make it a little wider, but I'll have to wait and see.

Here's what the widebody looks like though, for the record it doesn't stick out any more than the rear fenders so it wont look too funny. Plus I'll be able to run 10.5"s in the front

That would look so good with a nice set of wheels. There's also a meet in Renton tomorrow night at 7 at the Landing if any locals want to attend.

Yeah I agree, and it'll take care of my damaged fender and bumper too I wont be able to make it, but if any of you locals are reading this head on down!

looking good man

Thanks!

I love them too, and I got them for a steal from a local guy. Only complaint I have is on the E82 chasis the rear coilovers have some major design flaws The rears don't really go down a lot without removing the perches, and when you're adjusting them to top spins as well so they don't spin down. Well not unless you have clamps lying around like I happened to.

Thanks! Just find every preset in LR4 for B&W and scroll through them all and find which one suits the picture best. Then go through and make needed adjustments and viola! Only other tip I have is shoot in RAW if you're using a DSLR, it'll make the editing process 10x easier because you have more to edit and alter.

Hey Erik! Needless to day my father and I are ecstatic about picking this up soon. Saw the seats and stereo you went with, I can't wait to see it in person. I'll be up at the beginning of April to visit my parents, I'll try and swing by with him and say hi. Thanks for all the help from Pfaff, I know we couldn't thank you enough. And sorry to steal your baby from you when it's finally finished, but it's going to a good home I promise.

And thanks for the link to the feature, I'll send it on to my Dad.

Ohai haha.

I remember running into your build on here when I first bought my car, and now we follow each other on literally every forum and such ;D lol
