Thanks for the replies.

Tyres haven't been the worst, even in the icy conditions we're getting at the minute.

Hi Todd

Nice looking motor and nice choice of options on the car. It's well a spec car.

Loving the removal of wheel for a proper clean! I'm the same!

How do you find it compared to your 335 in terms of torque and low down power?

A month ago I bought a Spoiler. After trying it on I decided it was a little OTT for my liking. So I sold it on to a guy on one of the Facebook groups.








I then ended buying a key cover. Probably the most pointless thing I've ever bought but it's pretty cool.




Next up was a front splitter which i got painted Gloss Black. It complete the front bumper IMO.

Purchased a set of 12mm & 15mm Bimecc Wheel Spacers. Big thanks to Chris at CM Wheels who went out of his way to sort me out late on a Saturday evening. Great service and price!

Fitted on Sunday morning. While the wheels were off, I took the opportunity to give the rear of the wheels a quick clean. I'll take better photos when the cars clean.

Now I just need a set of H&R Springs!

Thumbs up

Lovely looking M135i.

Where did you get the front splitter and kidney grills from?

That front splitter really suits the car

I'm picking up my F20 120d M Sport on the weekend and very tempted with that front spoiler/splitter too.

The OH very kindly got me a set of H&R springs for my birthday. They arrived just as i got home from work yesterday, I fitted them last night then headed to Kerrs Tyres first thing this morning for an alignment. Thanks again to @Neil Kirkpatrick and the guys at Kerrs for a great service as usual!

I washed the car this evening to take photos but as i finished it started to rain, so i tucked it away and will try again tomorrow.

Took a couple of photos quickly on my way home from work, just as the rain started.

When i bought the car, the previous owner kindly gave me the dashcam he had in the car.

I hadn't used it because i didn't like the look of the suction cup mount stuck the window. So i bought an adhesive mount and put the dashcam back in this evening.
