Great pictures, more normal full body shots from further away would be nice imo. I love that spoiler shot though. Are those the CSL wheels painted flat black? Should of left em silver. Best stock wheels ever made imo.

clean

I don't get why so many people dislike the way the 135i looks. I think the car is fantastic and can easily spank any Z car with simple mods. I keep telling my brother to trade in his gay rx8 for a 135i.

I think it's because the 135i has a odd shape to it. The 3series is already small enough, the 1series just looks like the bastards child of bmw or something.

most likely b/c of the JB3 (plug and play tuner)

unlike the Z cars, these bimmers have tons of potential out of the box.

Yep JB3....these N54's have some sick potential out of the box.

The car looks pretty impressive in person. The proportions are much better once modded with some wider wheels and lower suspension.

They remind me of a GTO at certain angles. Still very nice.
