Heck, just buy a M235 diffuser and glue a chrome exhaust tip on the right side and no one would know. The diffusers look identical except for a small cutout for the right exhaust tip. You might want to rebadge it though or other 2 series owners will be laughing.

nah...the only F22 i'm interested in is an M2. i'd rather keep my 135is than get an M235i.....BUT i am really interested in the M2....especially after that fantastic racing version sketch.

I'm jealous of your 'is bits'... Test drove a 2012 135 two weeks ago. Jizzed in my pants. Put down a deposit. Next Thursday it's officially ours. |

- I prefer the stock M235i front just add the black/CF "splitters". I'm not a fan of full lips.
- Of course, the black grills are a must. The popping out look from the grill is hidden, which is a plus for me. - Mirror caps are a very nice step up from those hideous metal/stainless steel looking mirror caps. - The rear spoiler is beautiful. I was expecting them to get a little creative with it though. It's too similar to the previous generation's performance spoiler. - The rear diffuser is much better than the stock M235i but it's not amazing...especially when compared to E9X and E8X performance diffuser. - I'd like to see the CF tips but I wonder how they'll look. At least, the tips don't stick out as much as they did in the E82. - The brake calipers...oh my those calipers...I want them! I don't think they're the performance brakes though. - Was the suspension installed? If so, I think it needs a bit more drop. I love the CF interior trim. I wish we have pics of the automatic lever. The alcantara looks sexy! I bet they feel sexy too. I honestly prefer if the steering wheel was kept simple without that black/cf piece with a small screen at the top. I love the pedals but I've got a feeling it's going to be slippery with wet shoes. |

Peel the lateral stripe off and throw some HRE's on it. Bmw did a great job on this

I am falling in love with this thing more and more!! I'll take it all, minus the steering wheel (I'll take a flat bottom over this one), brakes (I'll put a set of StopTechs on her), and the wheels (they're just hideous). Everything else I can work with. Needs more low though, too much gap in those fenders.

Based on whats shown and current m-perf prices, a wish list goes something like
wheels - 2000 diffuser - 500 / aero kit - 1500 lsd - 1700 exhaust - 1500 alcantara wheel - 800 |

I love the gloss on your Mineral Grey 3 series in your signature... Those wheels would also look great on the M235i as well.
wheel with LED will be USD$1.5-2k. |

This is pretty nice. And an interior that looks pretty good and in manual!!
M235 with mperf exhaust with cf tips with lsd with steering wheel with shift knob and some nice suspension upgrades and this would be a nice toy!! Now turbo and throttle response lag, hope that was addressed. The current 135i is just horrible in terms throttle response. |

I wonder how much they will be though... The diffuser is hugely better. Much much better than stock.
