Gone, for a couple of reasons.

I've got a little one on the way, so the plan of buying some Pork got vitoed and the 135i was next on the list.

I'd toyed with keeping the clutter as it wasn't costing much and was huge fun on track, but asked for a PX deal out of interest. They rang around for prices and a local clutter dealer jumped at it and it was daft not to let it go. I'll build something track dedicated in time, but I've bigger fish to fry right now..

Been offered a mint 135i DCT today (over the phone) in Blue with leather pro sat nav etc 10k miles on the clock - £25k!!!

Straight car - Trade offer price too :jumping:

Must resist as I said to my better half I wouldn't go RWD for the next car  :driver:

Get a test drive in one John at the very minimum, you'll be smitten.. Mike got bit by one and look what happened to him..  :signLOL:

Nothing wrong with rwd john even i managed to stay on the road through the winter  :laugh: so much more fun going round the bends and junction turn offs, sounds like a good buy  :happy2:

Look forward to seeing your results at the pod ben, cars looking mint too, i took the cayman last summer and only managed a 13.6  :ashamed:

Little update..

Made a few cosmetic changes over the last week or so..

Mirrors have been wrapped (gloss black)..






Also added the black '135i' badge I ordered from the States. Basically keeping everything as black and white as I can. Trying to have no other colours interfering other than the plates. Speaking of which, due to them being '11 plate' I have managed to cut them down a tad which IMO looks a bit better..






Apologies for crap picture quality.. Camera is on the blink at the minute..

Which ones are you going for Dave? Seen 3 different types now and all are a lot dimmer than the OEM ones, so not bothered with them tbh. My mate has spent about £200 on bulbs now trying to find ones he's happy with..  :surprised: :signLOL:
Don't get me wrong, they look good at night, just very dim in the day..  :sad1:
