Jake's Epic BMW 135i Build Thread! (5+ Years of Ownership)

I just got rid of mine, and im anxiously waiting for MHD stuff to come (tablet, cable) and also ordered the 7in IC and stage 2 lpfp for e70. All my friends that had jb4 went to mhd and they say the car is something else. Ken is making me a personal map i cant wait to try it out i wish my car was running right when he came to visit us in chicago
Is there where you're located, Chicago?
I have Steve's stage 1 inline upgrade, but I'm curious to see how your stage 2 will perform. I have a tablet, but don't have the cable. I'd like to give it a try, but I'm going to get an intercooler, charge pipe, and BOV first.

It's been a while. I haven't done much with the car since my last update besides an oil change or two. Life has been busy. I bought a house with an awesome, huge garage (surround sound ceiling speakers, air compressor with hose outlets everywhere, 220v, insulated, TV, fridge, storage space, etc.)
Anyways, I just ordered a bunch of parts. I've decided to drive the car through winter again this year. I'll post pictures once everything has been delivered.
Breaking my build thread rules and posting a cell phone picture...
But, this should make up for it...

That shop looks amazing.

Needs more lift...

220v in house is awesome. Looks like you scored a nice place.
Thanks! It's been treating me good so far.
That shop looks amazing.
No shop, just a 750sq/ft garage. I still need to furnish it with some tools...
i'm so proud.
The house? The garage? My decision to drive the car this winter? Who knows?!
Needs more lift...
It had a motorcycle lift in it. Maybe some day...

So I did a thing last night. Before vs. after, finally got rid of the ugly halogen angel eyes.

Nope, they're the latest H8 160's.

Nice! They look super bright! That's on my to do list.

i cannot describe how much better that looks. I had never actually seen a side-by-side comparison, but that just solidifies why I have the BMS lights for my car. Looks great

Huge improvement. I feel like it makes the car look much newer.
Thanks for the side by side, looks great.
Glad you guys like them as much as I do. They're really f*cking bright!
Here is where I got them: http://www.luxangeleyes.com/products/lux-h8-160

Some of you might have seen the for sale thread, but I picked up an awesome wagon this weekend!
2005 325xit with 133k. 5-speed, all-wheel drive, sport package, cold weather package, lowered on Bilsteins and H&R springs with an extra set of winter wheels/tires.
Tons of maintenance reciepts, original window sticker, only owned by 2 enthusiasts. Really happy with it.
With that said, the 1-series will be put away for the winter. If anyone needs a set of e82 wheels with brand new snow tires, let me know.

...and no, I didn't paint checkers on my hood. That's the reflection from the garage ceiling.
