Woah, that is great news. But why 328 rotors when the BMW Performance BBK (same as stock 135i BBK) can be retrofitted to all models?

Did you use E90 pre-LCI or LCI parts?

328/330 BMWP BBK rotors are the same diameter (324x22), except the hub width is different. The The e90s have a smaller hub than the 135's. The center piece (where you bolt up the lug nuts to the hub) protrudes 10mm. Hope this answers your question

Yup, it does, thanks!

Some more goodies

Need to order new bolts, get the driveshaft welded together/shortened/rebalanced, and I have no idea when I'm going to get it installed!

So did you actually swap the steering rack in the 1 series to a 1M/M3?

Yes, I have the M3 steering rack in the 1er. There's just no servotronic.

It's an arm workout at first, but you get used to it

Then go jump into a corolla, and you can use your pinky to steer the wheel.

Updated first post with some fresh photos!

Love the fangs on the front bumper, definitely think that is the way to go for lip/splitters. Great job so far.
