1M Arrived!

robbys3m3 · 05-30-2016, 07:57 AM

So far the car is everything I hoped it would be...feels quite nimble compared to most of our other cars. I'd been keeping an eye out for an alpine car for a while, and finally pulled the trigger on this 27k mile car. It has a front lip and CF spoiler, as well as a remus catback (should I add an n55 mid?). My only other plans at this point is to install spacers and eibachs this week, as well as ripping off the older yellowed PPF and replace it with Suntek. This section of the forum seems great, and I look forward to get to knowing everyone better, and see everyone else's cars.

Thanks,

rm

Welcome aboard. You have a very nice stable of white horses.

Adding a N55 mid or other mid like Maddad will give your car a nice rumble especially at cold idle and a great tone while hammering the go pedal. I think it should have come this way from the factory. Enjoy.

I'm gonna try 12.5/15 but I understand it may be a tad much with lowering Springs...easy enough to change out if too aggressive.

Nice garage.
I installed Eibach "Pro-Kit Performance Springs" on my 1M just for the look. It was perfect. I'm looking for spacers and have not decided yet how wide I'm going to go. I have Michelin PSS 275/35 on the rear axle instead for the original 265. Let me know how thick spacers you have installed.

Thx! I did 12.5 front, 15 rear...I love the look although after driving a touch more I have very slight rubbing at full lock. I believe I'll remedy it with the updated liners.

robbys3m3 · 06-08-2016, 12:35 PM

Couple new shots! Just waiting on genuine cf mirror caps and ind black badge

Cmoney135i · 06-08-2016, 01:58 PM

I wish I was you.... I struggle to buy a used 135i and here you are with a m3 m1 and whatever suv that is.

RaceCarDriver · 06-21-2016, 01:50 PM

Congrats to another 1M owner. How do you like the X5M? i could use a fun to drive winter car.

Thx!
Honestly I love the X5M and often wish my wife would swap to something bigger so I could DD it. The power is stupid, yet still feels quite luxurious. We had a 2013 Cayenne GTS previously and I'd dare to say the GTS felt more like an actual sports car, but I prefer the X5M overall.
