Widebody BMW 135i SEMA Project

It's not even about the passion, it's all about the fame.

How did you miss the giant IG watermark in every picture?

It was more so a sarcastic question. It seems like people that build cars or are in the "scene" now days do it for Instagram. It's not even about the passion, it's about the fame.

I agree as well. If it's suppose to be a SEMA car I would expect the boundary to be pushed. I like the car. But as it sits leaves something to be desired. This looks like it would have been more aggressive if it had stock bodywork and pulled fenders with these wheels.

I respect the work involved. But if all that work was put into it I can't understand why it couldn't have been built to be able to air out without tons of camber if that is your concern.

Case in point. You see all these VW's on this forum aired out and the fender sits right between the rim and the tire because someone took the time to measure it out. Heck, there are several BMWs that are doing the same thing.

I'm not trying to sound negative. But if I see the word SEMA on a title I expect limits to be pushed. It's has a wide body but doesn't have that wide body aggressiveness.

Like a woman with a padded bra. You get all excited only to realize it's not quite what you thought you were in for.

Agreed, saw sema in thread title and wasn't too impressed.

Oh great, another sponsored build that is solely doing it for money and fame. You on IG too bro?

Not bad. Cant stand how the rear arch covers the rockers though.

needs the wheels to be a tad wider

11.5 on a regular one series is pretty dam wide lol I want this build to be aesthetically appealing while maintaining daily driving functionality and with a 295 tire on the back this is as wide as we can go.

I agree with this. Wide body needs wider wheels.

wide body = wide wheels.........

I agree with this. Wide body needs wider wheels.

[TruTaing]

Looks really clean. OEM. The side skirt into rear fender is interesting! Good work!

I wish I could but I'm maxed out if I want to air out all the way. Don't like running too much camber either

Just wanted to share with you guys a project that we have been working on. 2009 BMW 135i that we acquired the car back in October with 600 miles on it. Car was pretty much brand new and for the price we got it for it was definitely a steal!

We will be bringing the car to SEMA under AirLift Performance
and we definitely could not have built it without our generous sponsors
