My M135i

Bruce GT3 · 06-07-2014, 11:03 AM

So I've been waiting and waiting for my rims to arrive from the States and they finally arrived this week!!

DougM · 06-08-2014, 04:13 AM

Wow that's low - is it driveable......?

///Chase · 06-08-2014, 06:54 AM

sick

SteveC · 06-08-2014, 07:22 AM

Sorry, but that '10-bags-of-cement' look really doesn't do it for me. Doubt you'd be able to drive that on a lot of the Yorkshire B roads I travel.

ovekvam · 06-08-2014, 09:00 AM

Looks very American now.

It's on air suspension. That's not driving height.

Jerich0 · 06-08-2014, 04:01 PM

That is one of the worst looking wheels Ive seen... the 1 series is not best looking car in the world... but I am afraid you made it look like the worst now...

matthewcornish · 06-08-2014, 04:44 PM

What are the alloys?

They look like the seats from small round cast iron garden chairs polished up (according to my girlfriend). Personally I'm not a fan of these nor the lowering.

What matters is that you like what you've done; it's your car after all

Watercooled Industries rims from the US - and btw I understand your "cast iron garden chair" comment; hadn't seen them in that light but at least they ain't cast iron!!

bbenny · 06-10-2014, 04:51 AM

People love to hate!
I think its cool. different to anyone elses car on here

TheS9 · 06-10-2014, 05:46 AM

Not really my thing. But it looks amazing and can appreciate the time/effort gone into it!

ttimbo · 06-10-2014, 06:05 AM

Great work, and certainly a unique look. Just not my cuppa!

GeoBem007 · 06-10-2014, 08:49 AM

Nice colour! What is it?

A bit too low to my taste, but I like the fact it's different

And horrible wheels

18"? What width/offset?

matthewcornish · 06-10-2014, 02:26 PM

Ha! Watching your video I love how you're able to adjust the ride height like that

It's a wrap - the vinyl is an Arlon product; colour is called "True Blood"!! It's a candy-colour effect and has a metallic/mica effect in it; it's rather beautiful in the flesh...

Fronts are 19 x 8.5 ET39 running 225/35x19 and the rears are 19x x9.5 ET48 with 255/30x19

Hope that helps?

Speed bumps and pot holes I guess.

Well, that is kind of obvious. I think the more difficult part to understand is why someone would want to lower the car almost to the ground. It is probably a cultural thing, like sagging pants. Most people will never get it.

If it has to be different it should be like yours
