Sick exhaust / diffuser setup. A front lip with the BMW cf spoiler would really ramp up the aggressiveness of it. I like the wheel finish, too. Hyperblack?

Ride quality is similar to stock but more balanced and "softer" over bigger bumps. Even though it's a stiffer suspension the combination lessens the blow of road bumps. Difficult to describe but it just feels so much nicer. This was how the car was meant to be built!
Hope this makes sense it's very difficult to describe! Btw I am set at half on the front struts and three quarter in the rear (towards stiff). M3 sway bar today

I have decided there will be no cf rear spoiler. It just looks SO clean right now and I want to keep that OEM style look. It's only my opinion but I feel the car should have been made OEM with a quad exhaust, black roof, and the v710 style wheel.... Obviously in the respective color combinations that folks like but nonetheless I am building it to look the way I feel it should have been from the factory. Perhaps IMHO the 135is though I know it's basically the same as a 135i (meaning BMW dropped the design ball again).

I like our cars better without the rear spoiler extension. Actually I like them best despoilered.
I'm also broke from modding but like you if I do go further it will be an M3 style hood or mirrors.

Love your car man! Perfect as is right now. Try not to over-do it (appearance-wise).
My dad had those Kumho Escsta Spt tires. He hated them. I've driven his car (dinan stage 2) and with the upgraded suspension bits and stuff those tires were under performing. Upgrade to some Potenza S02 Pole Positions or something as such next time (just a suggestion).
