What did you do to/for your 1er today?

Prodigy. · 01-27-2015, 11:52 PM

Fitted a carbon fibre rear diffuser.

Esteban · 01-28-2015, 01:59 AM

The diffuser looks good. Your car is sharp. Love the blacklines. Go Australian Open!

I got a similar one off ebay. Just search 'e82 roof spoiler'. When it first comes it looks like it won't fit but it's fine once you bend it into shape.

Had my M3 subframe bushings and PowerFlex diff mounts installed yesterday/today. Only drove the car for a few miles after the install but all seemed well. Combined with the Bilstein sports and BMWP springs this is much tighter and more firm than any stock M I've driven. My winter mods are now done with the car. These also may be my last mods for the 1er too since I see an M2 in my future. Will be driving to Atlanta in a few weeks to go to a track day at RA. Long haul but gotta get out of the Chicago cold.

I literally live walking distance from INDs original shop and where they still do a lot of work. These guys are great to work with. They have done suspension work on 4 cars for me to date. It's always interesting to drive by and see what is in their lot.

Do either of you guys know Orlando the service manager at a Perth BMW Dealership? I live in SF, CA, USA but my good buddy is from Perth and that's his best mate.

Off topic but anyway thought I'd throw out there.

Today for my 1er I thought about it alot.

Sorry nope, I've only taken my car back to the dealership once for a recall.

bazil769 · 01-29-2015, 07:26 PM

installed SMD led license plate lights. If anyone needs them, this guy ships free and fast on ebay, they cost $15.30. They look awesome.

Interestingly, my 2012 came with LED license plate lights from the factory... The only LED lights on the entire car, I think.

Don't forget the LEDs on the door handles when you unlock the doors with the key-fob!

I don't have that feature... It must be part of Comfort Access, huh?
