My little 125i Coupe
Just to present you my little Coupe from Paris
It's a 04/2010 125i with N52 engine. Non M Sport Package but with few mods... Just to be discreet because I live in a sporty suburb I love it * M3 Steering Wheel * BMW Performance Gear Shift * BMW Performance Handbrake * BMW Performance Exhaust * Electric Sport Seats * BMW Professional Radio w/ Bluetooth & USB * BMW Styling 264 Wheels * Bilstein B12 Pro Kit Suspensions * Integrated ScanGauge II |

Nice and clean... Thank goodness you didn't paint your wheels black like just about everyone else.
And I really like the cloth seats... Wish we had that option here in the States.

Thanks bmw1racer
I don't like leather seats because it slips all the time and it's too hot when the sun shines. Moreover, 1 series leathers are of poor quality... For the wheels I agree with you. I would have prefered hyper silver like the 216 Motorsport |

Very nice hotwheels
I too have a 2010 black (BSM) 125i coupe, non M-sport. By coincidence I have just ordered a Bilstein B12 pro kit and am hoping to achieve a similar stance and look to yours. Any feedback on changing from the stock suspension to the Bilstein kit in terms of driving feel/ comfort/ handling? |

It's night and day if you want to compare stock suspension non M Sport to Bilstein B12 !
Handling is like a kart. Comfort... It's more sporty Very good feeling. Instant feed back from the road. |

@hotwheels LOVE your clean subtle car, especially all the Performance parts.
I think your next mod should be a 135i front bumper cover or maybe the Perf bumper cover and a fog light "delete" - to give your car that (total)135i look.

I don't want a 135i look for my 125i... I don't have the same engine It's like persons that install the 1M body kit on their 135i Thanks for your comments Dackelone Just to precise : in France, 264 Wheels are an option for non M Sport E82 |

I have another friend with a 120d that looks like a 135i. He deleted his fog lights and installed black exhaust tips. Its always funny to see people look at his car when they hear the engine running. I still think your car is clean and simple. I like that look.

So jealous of your cloth seats, especially the optional cloth/leather combo available in Europe. Don't understand BMW NA's obsession with leather. On a hot summer day I'd rather park my rear in a cloth seat than leather or vinyl (sorry, leatherette).

Your friend has got a 135i with tractor sound Thank you for your compliment @ulrichd I prefer cloth seats like you. And if you change your mind, you can ask a craftsman of leather to do what you want |

The leather is just to squeeze some more bucks out of the buyer, IMO. Way back, my first E30 has cloth seats... Much appreciated on a hot summer day and you're wearing shorts.

There is not any tip for the integration of the ScanGauge II... Just an integration in the AC cover. You need a Dremel with Discs, Emery paper, Glue, and patience I Will look for some photos of my installation I choose To install the scangauge at that place because the Cost of the cover is less than 13€ (16$) |
