How much did they set you back?

it’s a diesel so what??? So it was the Audi that won 24h Le Mans this year….

Know this car in person….. I can tell you it would not let you down side to side with stock 135i

awesome car drove by a very nice guy always available to help with information on new mods
Just a mod I would made if the €€ allowed…. ADV7.1 wheels instead of Breyton …

Nice shoots Zorba…..

looks great! those seats and that head unit look amazing!

Yvette · 03-03-2011, 02:28 PM

definitely nice setup!

dela · 03-04-2011, 07:41 AM

Looks great! You are missing the Performance steering wheel - would look great together with the seats, since it's alcantara too!

Which exhaust is that?

Hello friends,

I have been away from the forum but now I am back with a couple news…

Since I have bought my 123d I always had the ideia of changing the car sound…

Thus, I went back to Equipolarcar, that was the company that had made the change from my double din radio and asked for opinions on what to do in the car.

After that I decided to change the speakers in front, located under the seats and make a fiberglass box for a subwoofer in the trunk.

The speakers used for the doors were the focal KRS, which are specific to this car.

Under the seats I put the Earthquake SWS 8x.

The subwoofer in the trunk was an Alpine R 1043D. This a subwoofer that plays very well in little boxes such as this.

Focal Amplifiers are 3. Two solid 4, in which one is amplifying the door speakers and rear oem speakers. The other Solid 4 is connected so that each two channels are bridged to amplify each subwoofer located under the seats.

One more amplifier, Solid 1, is connected directly to Alpine Subwoofer.

The two Solid 4 are located under the trunk lid and a Solid 2 is situated on top of the trunk.

The entire top of the trunk was coated in the same carpet of the rest of the trunk. So all cables are hidden.

You can see the entire assembly in the following photographs.

Now the sound is clean and with a good line of medium and excellent bass.

Hope you enjoy!

NICE!!!!

N55_BBM · 07-20-2011, 12:14 PM

nice, won't those amps overheat over there tho?

Jon. · 07-20-2011, 12:29 PM

Wow really nice.

That double din radio looks even more clean than OEM.

Soccs · 07-20-2011, 01:51 PM

Nice car! Looking good! Breaks are on the way for me, plus the rear spoiler and BMW performance exaust, with supersprint manifold!
Once the car arrives we should meet up and check differences with my 125i
Was going to get a 135i but buying used is not a good option... Plus in about 2 years it's coming 1M!

Grande Máquina! És da onde?
