135i N54 project

[R33^EC]

So its been 3 weeks since I got my new toy..

08 135i N54 with 95 000km on the clock and what a car, the best all round car I have owned, with a couple of mods im sure she will outshine my last toy.

Here's a pic before she was relocated to pe..



then took her on a drive to bond abit and snapped this pretty cool pic..



only had one issue, the rear wheels kept on going flat.. after taking it to my mates tyre shop we discoverd the rear rims were cracked... was bleak to put it nicely as the previous owner knew they had been cracked and "repaired" so I had to go shopping..



Will post some more pics up soon! busy with some stuff and the engine mods will be coming soon.....

Yeah changing the offset, quite odd used to having to make spacers now im having to take off.

Taking 2.5mm off the rear, +35 on the front is fine only touches slightly over big bumps rear should be sorted cant wait to get them back!

Also plan on changing the colour in the near future.. a light matt gold/champagne colour as you cant see the concave on the wheels with the black that nicely!

Nice one bud.
As much as I'm a black on black fan, I'm liking the idea of matt gold/champagne. Hope it turns out well.

Happy Miles bud
