A cheap fix is bypassing the mid-box for more noises.

In other news, whilst they're not getting any prettier, they are getting modded...




looks smart.

That looks class!!!!!

Knew some csl style wheels would set it off but that front end completes it.

Hope Im not going to regret not getting my wallet out and spending a bit more  :laugh:

Just contacted someone on PH that seems to indicate he can get a considerable discount on these.  :innocent:

After the Porsche driving day on Friday, i convinced myself i would hold out until i could spend a much higher amount of a Cayman S with a lot of options ticked, but i just dont think that will happen for far too long. So in the meantime, i REALLY want an M135i.

There'll be someone who can get a big lump off for sure, hell all I did was email a few dealers and get 10% off full price and a free 5 year service pack!

I'm sure time, effort and effort and contacts could yield more.
Sideways yo!

Those VMR VB3 wheels dont actually fit without some arch modding, they are et45 on rear (no higher offset available yet), speaking to our guy at VMR he said that these wheels came off the car shortly after for a different set. Shame as I think they look perfect.

Nice looking wheels!  :happy2: When I was phoning around a month ago 10% and 5 year service pack was best I could get that was from Harrogate. Bloke took 4 days to get back to me though when I said I wanted to order it that day and give a 2k deposit so I got fecked off and didn't bother. Shame I'd be picking it up next week on my birthday! Although I'm getting on with the 335i OK, bit big and crash on my local b roads if I'm being honest though. But am moving soon so will be better(why I bought it)

Well, I had an appointment with BMW this morning for test drive and if the discount was right I was going to sign an order. But I cancelled last night.

I don't think the car will have the sense of occasion I'm looking for, the car would only be used for sunny weekend blasts.

I'm pretty sad about it, but back to the drawing board.

Hold out for the Porsche, you won't regret it.

It's not a car you drag out of the garage on a sunny day, it's an uber fast daily hatch.

Drive one to satisfy your curiosity, but it's probably something Pork/Lotus/other you're looking for.

I think im just going to bide my time, instead of looking for a 2006/2007 Cayman S soon, im going to save more over the next couple of years and get a new generation Cayman S. Its such a weapon, i dont think anything else compares to what i want.

If i did few miles, id have probably got rid of the A3 for an M135i already. I still really like it.

I thought you had problems with the driving set up on the 1 series hence why you sold the 123d

Mods yes but way too many to stick in this little box
