![]() WHEELS! After months of tormenting from my friends on Facebook. It did take me a little while to get used to the suspension, having never driven a car with modified coilovers before, but today, having sat and driven much harsher riding cars, the V1s feel perfectly comfortable I also had a resonator delete done, which added a bit of volume as well as a more noticeable CRACK on upshifts.ĭecember 2014 - The Real Christmas Presents Ĭhristmas then actually came in the form of 4 large, shiny metal objects. Why the V1s? I figured that since I had no idea what kind of setup I liked, there wasn't much point to spending the extra on the V2 or V3, which probably would've just been set-and-forget anyway. I ordered and had a set of KW V1 coilovers installed, which made the car instantly look 100% more aggressive, despite still being on the stock wheels. ![]() The car did look a bit awkward on stock height and wheels.Ĭhristmas came a few weeks early. The exhaust sound did change slightly, but not enough for anyone to think it was modified at all. Since the diffuser was designed for the M235i, which has different exhaust tip placement, I found a used F20 M135i exhaust and had it installed, which required some minor alterations due to different pipe diameters and tailpipe lengths, but nothing too major. Next mod(s) to go on was a carbon fiber set from Exotics Tuning/MTC Design, which included a front lip, rear spoiler, rear diffuser, canards and mirror caps. September 2014 - CF Goodies, M135i Exhaust M Performance Grilles went in a day or two after getting the car ![]() My first impression back then, coming from a E93 323i, was that the power was a lot punchier, but the steering took a bit of time to get used to. Took the car on a drive on a nice twisty road near where I live right after taking delivery (what's a break in period?). I was so excited about getting a new car that I just went ahead and bought the M Performance Grilles about a week before actually taking delivery.as a result, I don't have many pics of my car in pure stock form ![]() So for my own #tbt enjoyment, here's a recap of my mods and some quick thoughts of what I think of them allĪugust 2014 - Mods before even getting the car?! įirst mod, albeit minor, that I did to the car. I've posted my car here plenty of times before but my latest mods (wrapped black roof and ECU flash tune) got me thinking about how interesting it is to see a car transform over time. ![]()
