My 135i 'Midnight' slow modding thread

Hi Guys, I thought I'd start a thread to keep a nice record on the journey I hope to have with this awesome beast of a machine.

Lets start with the history. I owned a 2001 Audi A3 1.8t for the better part of 4 years. I thoroughly enjoyed the car and modding it. Over the course of 4 years I modded it extensively from stock, to a forged internal Big turbo little rocket (All DIY). I ended up sadly selling it to get something more comfortable and to start a mod journey again. This is how it eventually looked:





Fortunately I had the opportunity to buy my 135i from a friend.

Meet "Midnight":

2009 BMW 135i Coupe
n54
6 speed Auto
Sunroof
Xenons
with 101000 km on the clock











I haven't done much in terms of modding, only the golf tee mod and the BOV mod on the stock DV's.

I have also DIY'd my brakelights with some lamin-x to resemble the black line brake lights.

Thanks guys!

I love the look of the newer brakelights but before forking out a large sum of money to get a set I thought I'd give it a try and DIY my lights to look similar.

Heres how I did it:



End result lights off:


With the lights on you can't really see it but it still looks great in my opinion:

I spent last weekend giving my car a decent wash and took the opportunity to take some proper pictures, although still with my cell phone:biglol:

Thanks bud. I haven't seen a lot of black 135i coupe's and I must say I love it when its clean... Just such a mission to try and keep it that way.

Thanks Shaun. This car is awesome!! Where would you recommend getting plugs and coilpacks from? Mine seems to have developed a miss on full throttle.

Thanks bud. Everyone has their own taste. I like it! But it can easily be removed if I no longer do...

Thanks dude!

One of the rims had some slight curb rash that bothered me so I thought I'd refurb them all a bit. I like the silver on a black car but I thought I'd try something else to see if I like it. (I got other future plans that I hope will work well with this combo).

I didn't want to go completely black as I'm not such a fan because you loose a lot of detail of the wheel in my opinion. So I went with this:







I will get a proper picture in the sun where it doesn't look so dark.

Stay tuned for brake updates:cartel:
