apologies again for quality

OK WTF with the fog lights added on the Mpack.

I know its not a 135i with the break ducts but still. I am sure they could have made it work with fogs. They did on the E36 and E46 M3's.

I like the look of the added fogs. :mad:

aesthetect · 10-02-2007, 05:34 PM

yeah, what is the deal with that picture having fog lights?

dark blue (or black i guess) is the only color that goes with chrome rims, although id still never do it

joelk · 10-02-2007, 05:41 PM

IIRC the 123d has foglights ... so i would imagine a 123d w/ m-pack would as well.

joelk · 10-02-2007, 05:43 PM

thanks to the OP for posting this. I can't decide between black on black, SG on black, or Le Mans on black.

i'd change the rims but that car looks really good.

Thats Sharp.I May Get One Like That.:roundel:

And another thing. Those headlight housing REALLY need to be black. It would reduce the visual heighth and width of the scared cat look. I hope they are easy to open and spray flat black.

Can anyone photoshop that pic to make my point?

flanagan · 10-02-2007, 10:23 PM

Retouched the image to get rid of the noise, color correct (just adding black to compensate for a scan of a printed piece), align it, and try to get out the centerfold.:roundel:

I also agree wholeheartedly with Theo, so I touched up the headlights with a black housing. I also took it a step further and added eyebrows to lessen the wide-eyed look even more. This, to me, is the hotness.

TheoIam · 10-02-2007, 10:50 PM

Not sure about the eyebrows but thanks for the black housing. Looks Good.

Le Mans is the coolest color IMHO:

The 135i I ordered is very similar to this hatchback (Le Mans blau/Lemon interior):

There were some beautiful shots in there. I am surprized by how much I like this color, and the lemon interior looks awesome.

:w00t:

thanks to flanagan for retouching - good to share the work! the headlights look great in black (or might look better in something which was a metallicy grey?).

does anyone 'know their headlights' and think that this might be an easy or difficult job. I guess paying a pro shop to do it might cost a bit but it does transform the look of the car. what do you think that the darker lights on a white car would be like? worthwhile, or better to stick with the silver?

rupertisalive · 10-03-2007, 07:55 AM

by the way, just to clarify this is a 123d un UK spec, the 135 comes with no fogs and the 261 wheels here

Dam it I like that M-Steering wheel!!

Why cant we get that here without having to buy it after market. :mad:

I bought the dam M-Wheel back on 2000 for my 330ci and it made a huge differnence. I guess I have to do it again for the 1ner.

ChrisK · 10-03-2007, 11:19 AM

I believe the US 135i will come with the M steering wheel.

Not so sure about that.

I have yet to see one picture of the interior of a 135i with that wheel. Although I do see it as an option in UK brochure.

I just want it as an option. I will pay for it as OEM on the car. I just dont want two have to buy it and have to steering wheels becasue its not an option in NA.

They always do this shit here and save it for a 4th year sport pkg refresh to keep interest up.
