tyronepottier 6 Report post Posted June 25, 2016 Good day one and all. I am new to this forum but have been a keen admirer of BMW's for ever and have been on other forums. Originally from SA and have owned four BM's over there. Here in NZ I am the proud owner of a 135i manual with sunroof which has been customized by myself. Some mods : CDV delete Second cats removed and replaced with straight pipes Air box replaced with twin cone filters Disconnected the valve in the second exhaust tail piece so both pipes are in use from the start Both recirc blow off valves removed and replaced with one HKS BOV Angel eye light upgrade and boosted to 12V Carbon wrapped the kidney surrounds, mirrors, shark fin and boot spoiler as well as custom wrapped the side skirts Tinted to 35% Interior lights changed to bright white LED's Removed the CCC system and replaced with Sony double din touch screen with steering wheel functionality maintained Flip up motorised screen removed and replaced with a factory BMW storage compartment Replaced the battery with a 110amp/hr deep cycle Upgraded the original speakers and fitted tweeters into the door corners and rear deck Two 12" subwoofers powered by a 1200w RMS monoblock All mids and tweeters powered by a 200w RMS amp Smoked out tail lights Have changed many coding settings to my liking e.g the indicators flash 5 times after flicking the stalk BMW light up badges on the boot and bonnet Unfortunately i'm not finished yet. Would still like to get 19" wheels and a front spoiler fitted. Will post pics sometime as i've never taken any of my car. Unfortunately i'm not finished yet.

Matth5 471 Report post Posted June 29, 2016 (edited) Some pics of interior showing the sony system would be nice. Curious to see what it looks like with the iDrive swapped out. That does mean you can't access the service info showing brake pad wear ect? I know oil level can be checked on the dash but not sure about the rest.

Matth5 471 Report post Posted July 6, 2016 (edited) http://bimmersport.co.nz/gallery/album/660-tee-135i/ Very unique looking BMW there, never seen the light-up BMW badges before. That head unit isn't in the same location the CIC was, so the CIC screen is still there but disabled I guess? Edited July 6, 2016 by Matth5 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BatMansWilly 74 Report post Posted July 6, 2016 Welcome Sir, Sounds like you have got a nice car. Not sure about the badges Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tyronepottier 6 Report post Posted July 7, 2016 Thanks. I like the badges myself. You gotta see them at night. The car had CCC not CIC. It came with a flip up screen which i've removed and replaced with a OEM storage compartment. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
