New ride for me!

UdubBadger · 06-06-2010, 10:26 PM

Even though I'm switching series I figured I'd share with the 3er guys. I'm loving the new car!

Here's a little photo/write up if you care to read up on my trip to pick her up.

Congrats bro!

Another jzhang-type story with a 135

UdubBadger · 06-06-2010, 10:46 PM

john and I have talked a bit about our cars because of the similar colors

Verbiage · 06-06-2010, 10:48 PM

My God those brake calipers are huge

stock?

She is a beauty though, I'm glad you documented this!

UdubBadger · 06-06-2010, 10:51 PM

yeah, they're "a-la brembo" for sure. I asked Evan@tischer what the difference between these and BMW performance brakes were and he goes "couple bucks of yellow paint and lettering..."

Verbiage · 06-06-2010, 10:53 PM

Serious? They come on N55's? (Sorry if you mentioned it in your thread on 1addicts, I kind of skimmed through it

).

yeah man, they're frickin beasts. Only on the 135's though... not for big brother 335. Hell they don't even put these on M3's (M3 has floating brakes anyway).

Wow.. I guess they'd be a lot more effective on the 1 than on the 3. They just LOOK badass, though. From just the brief moment in the video when you gave that closeup shot, I was like

Please don't paint them

And the M3 is on its own cloud

hahaha no I won't... no other color would look as good with the car anyway unless they were bright blue too

Agreed. But you don't want too much monotony with such a compact car. The gray is perfect contrast

That thing must pick up like a roller coaster rocket ship, though.

ya even stock shes a beast. the N55 is a low end torque monster. I feel like I could be towing a couple jet skis or something if i really wanted to.

Havent taken her above 4k yet but I'm sure thats right where she'll explode in power.

That's awesome, man. I've got to drive a car with an N55 in it, one day. And I'm sure you'll have a huge smile on your face once you do

UdubBadger · 06-06-2010, 11:34 PM

for sure

I feel ya buddy, my car was in the back of the lot away from everyone every time I stopped (with the exception of when I was taping it up).
