And is there anyone you could reccomend to do the work better than Mstyle
Thanks in advance for any advice

Welcome aboard, what do you think of the car then?
I'll be brief as I'm on my iPhone and it's a pita typing but felt I needed to say something.
I do think you're crazy going with the above as you'll never recoup the 6k when you move on. Have you checked insurance yet?
How long have you had the car? If not long I'd just enjoy it as it is and research some of the other mods available. Suspension, LSD and chipping. Have you been in a modded 135i?
I personally prefer the sleeper look of the 135i over the 1M as if suits where my car is kept.
As for the MStyle bashing, I have used them for minor bodywork and was happy with their work. But for tuning I'd use either one of the companies that specialise in that area (evolve, dms, birds ...) but if I knew then what I know now I'd start with a Cobb. I did have issues after tuning and it was eventually identified that my VANOS solenoid was iffy.
Where abouts in the country are you based?
