So i wrote off my previous vehicle a while ago, last year August.had an s2k
With being out of SA for most of the time, i decided to take my time and look for a car i will be happy with
The hunt began for an e92 v8 m3 but i could not find a clean one WITHOUT comments
Then came across the 135 coupe, always liked the shape, so i said to myself that this will be good.
Given the average consumption and shredding of the rear wheels, i said what the heck
So the day i landed in SA, i flew straight from West Africa to fetch the car which was in Cape town
Specs
White 2013 DCT 135i
Car has a few extras which i love
Sunroof
Xenons
Bluetooth hands free
Rear PDCs
Mpack
and so forth

Picked her up and drove straight to DBN
Had one stop in which i had to pay "cool drink money"
But such a fun car and a pleasure to drive
PICS:
The day i fetched her








Drove to dbn, got home and hunted for an Mperformance Exhaust
Found one online and grabbed it
Heres a short video

Next was to change all the yellow bulbs to white
Went down to Japsport, Irshaad was kind enough to change the interior lights and we upgraded the angel eye bulbs as well.Great service from him

Next mod was the DP
Purchased froma fellow forum member
Will upload vid shortly

Some random pics of the holiday down in sa







Next are a few carbon goodies when i return to SA
oh and JB4 needs to be fitted

The car looks super clean man:clapper:

I'm curious about which globes you fitted for the angel eyes and how they turned out..

he had some new ones that just came in, alot brighter than the older ones he had
Sadly i do not have any pics of these and im back home at the end of June
Best to go down to his store and have a look, he connects the different ones and shows you the difference and then you choose
They were around R900 a set

The logistics are a mess as I'm based in Centurion, Pretoria.

I have a set of white angel eyes installed, but the outer ring isn't quite as bright as the inner one.

I normally have ny headlights on anyway, so the outer ring doesn't phase me too much, but having both shine bright would make for some cool photos.

I suppose LEDs aren't ideal for illuminating both rings.
