Hello World.

inertiadriven is my noob attempt at a blog that does original features of local cars and the stories behind them. To start things off, heres my 2011 135i with some new LCI tail lights. 


It's been about a year now that I've owned the car and sadly I haven't tracked it yet and only been to autox once in the car.. but I did rice the car out a bit. 



First round of mods included these replica LM wheels from modbargains. I didn't want to go with the usual +40s offset for 1series so I went with 3 series offset at 19x8.5 +35, 19x9.5 +33. 



After some time with H&R springs + koni yellow I needed to fix the -3 fingergap wheel gap up front and converted my konis to groundcontrol... which resulted in multiple trips to Point Roberts to pick up the proper parts.




2nd hand scratched up ICarbon lip + Cityvision led Angel eyes + ricer side mount plate.



Function and Form(?) .. prob neither


I've stayed away from most of the engine mods as 300hp/tq is more than enough for a noob like myself. Still, an injen intake managed to find its way into my engine bay since I couldn't resist my ricer side. Also having driven a few M cars with the awesome M button, I'll most likely be getting the Vishnu tune soon to bring some life to the first 30% of the gas pedal. I hope you've enjoyed my modest 1, and look forward to another feature soon!
