The ugly duckling; my BMW 135i build.

[Daffy]

mike-81-240d stopped by today, didn't get any work done but we did get a shitty iPhone picture together! As you can probably tell my front has been raised a little to prevent my PS fender from popping my tire. When it got hit by a door it creased and it creased in onto the tire. After lots of hammer work and sanding it's drive-able again, but I raised it up 7 threads just to be safe. Talking to a dealer about the widebody kit now, and I've also figured out what wheels I'll end up going with. I'll give you a hint; they're not any of these new wheels coming out, and they're 3-piece

Looks freakin AWESOME man. I've always loved the 1 series, really reminds me of E30's. Shame what happened to your fender

Can't wait to see how this thing turns out though, its already lookin awesome
<3 The Red interior

Thanks! I actually think they look a lot like a smooshed E46, I have no clue why I do though. Yeah it sucks, but it's a good excuse to do something a little different. Only problem is I'll be running different wheels front and back for a while because my stock wheels just wouldn't fit in the new fenders

Thanks again man, my original goal was to have it done by summer but that's not happening. So I've pushed it back to spring. Good thing I like my stock wheels lol

<3 It took me so long to find this combo.

Love 1 Series Bimmers and the stock wheels actually look really good. Subscribed

with a front widebody would your setup be basicly square then?

[Daffy]

Hey guys long time no update!

Well good news is that there really isn't much of an update. The widebody kit I was going to go with is no longer an option because the company who makes them had their FRP mold stolen, and I don't want to dish out the money to pay for a carbon-fibre one. So instead I will be ordering new suspension from Broadway Static within these next few days, this should easily fix my rake problem. And then I will get my fender fixed.

So here's a picture from today; enjoy!

Awesome car, man. Really nice.

These are starting to grow on me a lot, I drove a 135i M Sport the other day and my God it was quick! Must be a blast to drive everyday.

So kinda a big update; I ordered new suspension today finally! I decided to go with Broadway Static 500 series. The guys over at BWS helped out a lot and their customer service was great, I'll wait for the product to arrive but so far I'd highly recommend them!



Now the wait begins.

Updates! Coming from and e90 and having KW v2's I totally understand all the hassels of KW/ST coils. The installation and the spinning spring perch in the rear....

Hey man, I've been following your thread for a while. I picked up a 135i in April and have been getting ideas for what I want to do with it. Can't wait to see the broadway statics on, let us know your feelings on ride/height/adjustments (I'm planning on doing coils next and want to make the right choice).

Btw, love your interior. I wanted coral red or the terracotta, but couldn't find any in my price range.

Great progress so far!

Always love to see 1series I'm driving an E81 (3dr hatch) btw.
I like the style264 wheels, they'd look awesome painted in gloss black on your ride.

This is beautiful.
