adm = anti-dazzle mirrors. works really well, perhaps too well since at night time it's hard to see exactly what's behind you (especially if you're looking for red and blue writing on the bonnet) |

the look did bother me but not enough for me to say No plus I hardly ever open my bonnet anyway. Adm works well but at night it gets annoying just like you said. Heard you have purchased the box Let the waiting begin

yeah, the wait has begun. wmj, you got any tracking information?
Hope it arrives by this weekend, by all accounts it should be a noticeable performance improvement.. big question, will it work well on the 125i?

reckon you'll be lucky to get it before Thurs.. even 1st class usually takes 4 days or so.
Anyway, fingers crossed for you.

bummer man.. time moves more slowly in these situations.
Should work well with your injen and exhaust.. can't wait to hear how you like it. Have you ever considered getting custom headers and high flow cats built to connect to the BMW performance exhaust?

yes hopefully it will be a nice basic setup with everything. I have thought about custom headers and high flow cats but would rather save the money for the next 1er, maybe the next 1 series M

There was a article up on here saying that the director or manager of the M division has moved their supercar project down a notch and brought the 1 series M project up. Heres for me hoping
Wonder if I will get my powerbox today, I sure hope so. If I do get, Im sure I wont be able to resist installing it tonight . I messaged mike@n54 tuning, he said we dont get tracking, something to do with canadian mailing sytem |

Yuzi and Fireflyer, any more thoughts after running the BMS box for a bit longer, you still maintain the extra power's there? Has the car adapted any more after a bit more time with the thing installed?

Enjoying it immensly each day. Just so much more satisfying to drive, and it starts, idles and runs as if it came from the factory this way. I posted a follow-up recently somewhere in here talking about the smoother, torquier low end when driving at low speeds in higher gears, and that is a benefit to go along with the vastly improved throttle response and increased power. Zero regrets, and anyone driving a 128 without this mod is missing out on much of the joy available from their car.
