Gloss black 261s do look good, but you should maybe add Msport/BMW Performance bodykit to go with it. Also considering you have a 'vert a BMW Performance Exhaust would be a worthy mod to consider.

Thanks, I'm might debadge the back like your saying still not sure. Body kit and PE exhaust would be awesome but probably a while down the track while I keep working and earning.

The only reason I'm thinking M-Sport suspension is just because of the price difference as opposed to a good set of aftermarket ones.
The badges are controversial I know but I've got a spare set of centre caps here already and I don't mind the look of the carbon badges( they can look a little JDM) but that's also just personal preference.

And I might contact you later on about that M-Sport suspension

They'll look good, but soon after that you'll be chasing something other than the stock look.

Anytime you're ready for it mate, the suspension isn't going anywhere

Trust me 125i BMW PE is epic! Well worth the $$ and it's not actually that expensive.

I had a PE on my 125i, it was too loud. The problem is that most people (myself included) buy the US 128i version from the states thinking its the same as 125i, but its not. The 128i has 2 sets of cats but the 125i has one set, so the US muffler is louder to compensate. Get the 125i version from the UK if you can.

Ive herd some youtube clips but its nothing compared to the real thing. The standard one sounds tough for a 6 cyl. Looks like i might have to start saving for the PE

Will look into it now. I will definitely get the PE but just not yet as I have other things on my To-Do list first, new suspension, rims, tires ect.
By the time I finish it will probably be time for a 135I

Wow what an awesome first car, congrats!

It's great to see some younger people driving these cars (I'm actually not too far off from you myself, age wise). From my personal experience you may get some external criticism here and there for it.. but my advice is to ignore the haters, be thankful for the fortunate position you are in and just enjoy the amazing car!

Opinions are like a**holes. Everyone has one. Don't let their BS get you down.

I bet the biggest loud mouths are the ones who drive hum drum cars.
