Indeed Vinney, CP's are only really needed for higher boost applications and provide no performance boost at all.

BMW actually revised the charge pipe design from May 09+ 135i builds to a 1 piece design as it incorporates the elbow section. The problems I mentioned can still be experienced though. That being said, I only recommend changing the CP if you experience these problems already or plan to run big power in the future. Or you could always get some electrical tape and tie down the DV's

I personally have the CP because 1M was known to blow off its CP, and whilst I am at it, decided to have the Froge DV as well for increase boost for later mods. I love presenting complete data - so theoretically the CP may increase response due to the above reasons, but practically it might not be significant. Vinney, have you got any delta on your IATs? Silly me haven't logged them before I changed it over.

Just want to say thanks to Florian at a-workx for all the help and information on my selection on the brakes. Good to see a company concentrates on weight savings rather than power with their mods. Looking forward for them to come in .

Thanks everyone!
They are very light though, close to 20kg savings in unsprung. Bang for buck I think they are much better than the akra.

I still think the Akra sounds the best but you don't need to spend that much money to improve the sound. Even some N55 mids will do the job. I'm partial to louder exhausts on the N54 though These wheels will look awesome, you will definitely have a unique looking 1M in Oz. |

http://www.m3post.com/forums/showpos...4&postcount=10 So, thats 4.4 x 2 = 8.8kg for the fronts, and 5.2x2 =10.4kg. Total savings 19.2kg of unsprung. .
