My Ti Silver 130i M Sport with mods *UPDATED* 56K warning - BMW 1 Series Coupe Forum / 1 Series Convertible Forum (1M / tii / 135i / 128i / Coupe / Cabrio / Hatchback) (BMW E82 E88 128i 130i 135i)

Just thought that it was time I got some pictures up of my E87.

All mods are in my sig

Edit: Now pictures include the KW v2's installed

Those type 3's? look superb in that colour against the silver paint. I really like that a lot. Very individual.

Looking forward to the installed V2 pics, its going to look very focused indeed. Plus I might be hankering for a set myself in the near future. I may just go with a set of Eibach springs to start off with.

I saw a nice black 130 with the BMW Performance exhaust at PH's sunday service at Mercedes World yesterday. It looked and sounded great and that was without those lovely ACS rims.

Well done, I look forward to watching this car progress in the future

Yes AC Schnitzer type 3's but painted in Audi RS4 titanuim grey colour so they are certainly unique. They are a very classic BMW design although some might say "dated" but I just love the way they make the 1 Series look so much more aggressive IMO.

There is so little choice out there for the 1 Series offsets outside of the OEM BMW 1 Series wheels.

I was going to get some Eibach Pro springs but was a little put off reading that some are experiencing inconsistent lowering with these springs. A couple from another forum mentioning that their car is now a little higher than when it was on M Sport suspension??

Thats why I decided to go the coilover route which should give me complete control on ride height.

I can certainly recommend the BMWP exhaust as it gives just the right amount of meat to the sound without sounding overbearing and there's no drone at sensible throttle openings and cruising on motorways unlike some "louder" systems out there.

Xenon weigh more than the halogens.......

On a serious note is that I would have loved Xenons but I purchased the car used so had to make do without.....

Pictures now updated

That is nice. I really like how the rim color blends very well with the car.

Just added some BMW Performance brakes and did the CDV mod

Good job!
Are you happy with the CDV mod?
You just need some Phillips Silvervision PY21W in the front indicators
