Black 130i here from BrisVegas.
Ditch the runflats obviously, CDV delete will ensure the car drives like a manual should. Big weak link of these cars is the suspension. I haven't modded mine yet but is next on the list (I've added the Quaife LSD which has been worthwhile especially for the track) before I do brakes and possible tune (only expecting a modest increase with a tune) and/or lighter wheels. Check out the Birds B1 suspension review that BMW Magazine did, there's some interesting insights into modern BMW chassis tuning. When I'm pushing on across poor road surfaces the rear end skips across and never settles. |

I spotted a dark grey/graphite one in the 8 hour car park behind Hawthorn town hall this morning. Is that anyone here?

Clutch stop is piss easy, pop the old one out and in with the new. My apologies with the 130i not being legal for P-plater. It just when I got my Ps, this was before the 4 years red & green Ps came along, the only restriction was the 126kw power-to-weight ratio. And the 130i is 141kw/T, so I thought it is illegal.

I had the same thing with my gear box. Had the gear box changed under warranty, but have also dive the cdv well worth it. Bloody BMW Melbourne, not a fan. Southern BMW are the way to go for servicing etc.

the 130i in QLD i think IS p-plate legal, but isn't if you take into account the 125kw/tonne.. but yeah, it's specifically listed as legal, scary hey? clutch stop is also a waste imo, just learn not to push too far :/ FREE! Quote:
ED: same as a 135i, btw. |

Just wondering what your thoughts are on BSM, with Anthracite wheels? Was thinking of painting my 208M but I do like them so much (when they're clean).
