Hello, im Nick, SonicVanMan I brought my BMW 120D Sports September 2010, this was my first bmw & first proper car & as some of you will have seen & read my posts of my progress on customizing my 1er, but here's everything on one page.
Now i dont expect my car to be to everyones taste as we all have are own ideas of what we like or dislike, so if its not your cup of tea there is no need to leave negative comments. for those who do like a bit of customizing i hope you enjoy & maybe you'll get some ideas for your self.
Feel free to ask any questions.
